WWE United States Championship - Scott Hall
November 08, 1999 - December 19, 1999
Eight months after being stripped of the United States Championship, Scott Hall reclaimed the title after defeating Goldberg, Bret Hart and Sid Vicious in a Ladder Match on an edition of Monday Nitro. Unfortunately for Hall, he was once again stripped of the U.S. Championship after holding it for only a brief period of time. It was at Starrcade 1999 that Chris Benoit had walked out to the ring with the championship in hand. Apparently, a knee injury kept Hall from defending it. As a result, Benoit was awarded the U.S. Championship.

Bobby “The Brain” Heenan was so confident that Andre the Giant would defeat Hulk Hogan for the WWE Title at WrestleMania III, he dished out $37,000 for a custom-made giant-sized title.
