Only female
The only female to hold a WWF/WWE men's championship. oh wait...
The only female to hold a WWF/WWE men's championship.

UWF TV Title
Nikita Kolloff was the last one to hold the belt, so I guess that means he gets to keep it forever. Now he tours the US preaching about Jesus using the UWF belt as proof that YOU are a vile sinner.
UWF Title
When the UWF merged with the NWA Steve got the shaft. They could have had a big match-up with him and Flair to unify the titles. Instead they just let the belt and all of the prestige that it had earned evaporate into thin air.
ECW World Tag
Vince was going to have the Intercontinental Tag Team titles, but at the last minute changed his mind and threw them in the trash. This is how ECW picked up their tag team titles - as well as some of their best stars!
AWA World Title Bockwinkel Style
This belt is still in Nick's possession to this day. You know where most belts are buckled by snaps in the leather? This one is kept together by screws. Literally - I've seen it!
Really Old School NWA Belt.
6 Time champ Lou Thesz. They kept giving him the belt for many reasons, but one main one was because he could hold his own in a real fight. This made sure that some guy from smalltown USA wouldn't just knock him out in the ring and go for the 3 count without the NWA's permission.
NWA TV title
Stone Cold Steve Austin back when he was "Stunning" (aka: gay). He is what's known as a reverse closet-case.
Actually, I remember when he won the belt. The belt had sort of disappeared for a while because when Arn had it he never defended it. Then when Stunning Steve got it he brought the belt back from obscurity.
I predicted then that Steve would be World Champ some day. I even made a bet with my best friend that within 5 years he would have a World title. Well, it took him 6, so I lost the bet. And he lost his hair and his gayness.
NWA 6 Man Tag Team titles
These belts were made for the Legion of Doom! They had it multiple times, each with a different 3rd man.
WWE World Heavyweight Title
This belt is symbolic of Vince's domination of the business. He bought out his long-time competitor and put his logo on their championship belt.
