10 WWE wrestlers you didn't remember were WWE Champion

#8 Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant - The shortest reigning WWF Champion of all time

Despite being one of the most famous wrestlers in history, Andre the Giant doesn't have much of a relationship with the most prestigious championship in wrestling history.

Andre "defeated" Hulk Hogan on an NBC television special in February 1988 to terminate Hogan's four-year Championship reign. Long before the Bella Twins "twin magic", referee twins, Dave and Earl Hebner swopped places, and "evil referee" Earl, counted Hogan's shoulders down to the mat, despite the fact he clearly kicked out.

A colossal screwjob made even more controversial when post-match, Ted Dibiase bought the title from Andre.

This led to Jack Tunney stripping Andre of the title, ruling that championships must be won or lost in the ring.

That was as far as Andre's legacy with the belt ever went.
