In late '95/early '96, there was a whole string of US title changes that just made me go "WTF", even though I wasn't a smark
Sting had the belt. Made enough sense, he was one of the top guys in the company
Next thing I know, I hear that Kensuke Sasaki is the US champion... how (and moreso, why) did that happen?
Then not long after that, OMG wins it off Sasaki, and shortly thereafter, pre-gangsta Konnan wins it and holds onto it for a good while
I think around the same time was the beginning of the end of me being able to keep track of title reigns in my head, since the days of 3-4 champions in a calendar year (which itself was a shift from multi-year champions of before) were beginning to dwindle
