If you were an Attitude Era fan, then you must have known that the WWE Championship had changed hands a lot of times in this period.

Only in 1999 alone, the title changed hands for a total of 11 times. Yes, this is indeed true!

In early 1999, The Rock won the title by defeating Mankind but only held it for two days. Then Mankind him and kept the title for 20 days before getting defeated again by The Rock who then stayed as the champion for another 41 days.

Now, it was Stone Cold Steve Austin who won the title by defeating The Rock and continued his reign for 56 days before getting crushed by The Undertaker.

The Deadman then stayed as the champion for the next 36 days before Austin regained his title. For the next 55 days, he kept the title and then dropped it to Mankind. However, Foley then lost the title just one day after winning it to Triple H.

The Game lost the title to Vince McMahon after 22 days. Then, the chairman kept the title for six days before vacating it.

After that, Triple H defeated Kane, Mankind, Big Show, The British Bulldog and The Rock at Unforgiven 1999 to win the championship.

The final title change of the year happens on November 14th when Big Show defeated The Rock and Triple H at Survivor Series to keep the title for the next 50 days. (Statistics by CageMatch)
