Notes:

1- Bruno was declared first ever WWF Champ after he beat Buddy Rogers who was first ever WWWF Champ.

2- Title reign is from the period of time between when Backlund beat Graham for the title on 02/20/78 to when he lost it to the Iron Sheik on 12/26/83.

3- Inoki winning the title was not anknowledged in the U.S.

4- Bob Backlund's manager, Arnold Skaaland, threw in the towel to end this match and give The Iron Sheik the Title. The Iron Sheik had Backlund in his finishing move, the camel clutch, when Backlund's back was already injured, so Arnold threw in the towel.

5- This pinfall was controversial because referee counted to 3 when Hogan's shoulder was clearly up at the 2 count. As soon as Andre won the title, he gave it to Ted Dibiase. WWF President then ordered that transaction invalid, and ordered the belt be vacated and a tournament to be held for the belt at Wrestlemania IV.

6- This was a tournament final at Wrestlemania IV.

7- Title was declared vacant the next day by WWF President Jack Tunney. That was due to the controversy in the way Hogan won the title, Ric Flair was at ringside and knocked tunney out with a chair, Undertaker's manager Paul Bearer accidentally hit the Undertaker with the urn after missing Hogan with it, and Hogan pinned him. Tunney ruled that the WWF Title would then be given to the winner of the 1992 Royal Rumble.

8- Ric Flair won the title after winning the 30 man Royal Rumble.

9- This was at Wrestlemania IX. After Yokozuna beat Bret Hart for the title in a controversial decision, Hulk Hogan came out and challenged him. Mr. Fuji accidentally hit Yokozuna with salt in the eyes after missing Hogan, Hogan gave Yokozuna the legdrop, and won the WWF Title.

10- Rowdy Roddy Piper was the special guest referee for this Title bout.

11- Shawn Michaels vacated the Title on 02/13/97 on a special Thuirsday Raw Thursday Live. The reason for this was because of a knee injury.

12- Bret was awarded the vacant WWF Title after defeating 3 other men in the Final Four no DQ match at In Your House: Final Four.

13- Shawn Michaels served as the special guest referee for this bout.

14- In one of the most controversial title matches ever, the referee called for the bell just seconds after Shawn put Bret in the Sharpshooter. Bret never really submitted to the hold and Shawn left with the belt.

15-Kane defeated Steve Austin in the first ever "Blood Match".

16-Undertaker and Kane both chokeslammed and pinned Steve Austin and as a result the title was declared vacant. To determine the WWF champ, owner Vince McMahon set up a match at the following IYH between Kane and the Undertaker.

17-The Rock defeats Mankind in the final of the World Title Tournament after owner Vince McMahon calls for the belt. After the match, The Rock joins McMahon's corporate stable.

18-The Rock beats Mankind in an "I Quit" match, after a taped version of Mankind saying the words is aired over the PA system.

19-Mankind defeats The Rock before the Tuesday Tapings in an "Empty Arena" match, which was aired during Halftime Heat.

20-With the help of Paul Wight, The Rock defeats Mankind in a "Ladder Match".

21-Mankind pins Steve Austin to win the WWF title in a Triple Threat Match also involving HHH.

22-Vince McMahon beats Triple H with the help of Steve Austin, but the week after on RAW (9/20/99), McMahon declared the title vacant, with the winner of the Unforgiven main event becoming the undisputed champion.

23-Triple H pins The Rock to become the undisputed WWF champion in the Six-Pack match, which also featured Kane, Mankind, Bulldog and Big Show.

24-The original match was scheduled to be Triple H (c) vs. Steve Austin vs. The Rock. However, during the PPV, Austin was "hit by a car", which took him out of the match and The Big Show replaced him. TBS went on to capture the title with the help of Vince McMahon.
