JHawk 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 So the finish to Undertaker-Edge got me thinking: What are some cases of a vacant title being won by DQ or countout? I know it's happened but I'm drawing a blank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He beat Steamboat in the tournament final via count-out when Windham interfered. They had a rematch the next week with no conclusive finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 it was either TNA Final Resolution 2006 or 2007, but Abyss won the NWA title over Sting by DQ That wasn't a vacant title though. That is correct. I forgot about that for a while... forgivably, I expect... A little trivia. Sting actually tried to convince management to let Abyss go over clean, but they wouldn't have any of it. Yes, you read that right. The company was in favor of that horrible finish, even though the top-booked talent was willing to "make" one of their home-grown characters. TNA deserves the criticism that they get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JST 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 I believe Jericho beat Malenko for the vacant cruiserweight (or maybe TV) title at Bash at the Beach in 1998. It was Jericho that won the Cruiserweight title. Dean had vacated it to prove he could win it legit from Jericho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
