5 Most Unusual Title Vacancies In Pro Wrestling History
There's more than one way to lose a belt...
1. Lane Change
In 1999, WCW presented a duo called The West Hollywood Blondes, comprised of Lenny Lane and Lodi. Their gimmick saw the heels play up many overt stereotypes of homosexuals, so much so that GLAAD actually stepped in and complained to WCW about their ongoing act.
Because of the negative publicity, Turner Broadcasting removed the two from television. At the time, Lane was the Cruiserweight champion, and suddenly dropped the belt, which was quietly given to Psicosis, only for him to immediately lose it to Disco Inferno on Nitro.
