A definitive history of double champions in WWE

On top of the world. Twice

The Corporation take over.

McMahon’s stooges bring home the gold

1998 | Big Boss Man | WWF Hardcore Champion / WWF Tag Team Champion

1998 | Ken Shamrock | WWF Intercontinental Champion / WWF Tag Team Champion

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

The Big Boss Man and Ken Shamrock on the other hand, had very forgettable double champion reigns. Both capturing the Tag Team Championships on Raw in December 1998, the Corporation toppled two of the most popular athletes in WWE at the time, Road Dogg and Mr. Ass.

Ken Shamrock had won his Intercontinental Championship on Raw a couple of months prior, having beaten X-Pac in a tournament since it had been vacated by The Game, Triple H. Boss Man had won his championship in a ladder match so for a little while, the Corporation were riding high.

It was before the 24/7 rule was applied to the Hardcore Championship too, so it was a little more legitimate at that time.

Boss Man would lose his singles championship after a day whereas Ken Shamrock’s Intercontinental Championship reign would outlast his Tag Team Championship one. They lost the championships to Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart in the New Year.
