Michael Hayes is a revolutionary man when it comes to sports entertainment, given all of his past work with The Fabulous Freebirds. However, some people may not realise that he had a one-and-done run with the United States Championship way back in the late ‘80s. In fact, the win came against the most tenured champion in the belt's illustrious history.

The victory came at WrestleWar in May 1989 against Lex Luger, however, it was not to be anywhere near as long of a reign as Mr Jordan's. In fact, Luger actually won the title back just 15 days later from Hayes on a house show, which shows that he may not have been cut out for a long run as a singles star.

Cheer up, Michael - at least you've still got a job in 2017. We finish up with someone who prefers things to be a little bit more hardcore.
