WCW World Championship - The Giant

October 29, 1995 - November 06, 1995

After reigning as champion for over 15 months, Hulk Hogan faced his biggest challenge yet in WCW: the 7-foot, 400-plus pound Giant. In what would be the Dungeon of Doom member's first WCW match, he challenged Hogan for the gold at Halloween Havoc 1995.

It took everything Hogan had to fight off the Giant, but it looked like Hogan would win the match after impressively slamming the monster and hitting him with a legdrop. Instead, Hogan's manager, Jimmy Hart, turned on him; Hart laid out the referee before calling the Dungeon of Doom out to attack, casting his lot with Giant.

The match ended in a disqualification victory for the Giant. Normally, a title cannot change hands on a disqualification, but Hart had it written into the contract that the stipulation was waived for this match. Therefore, Giant became WCW Champion, but the decision was reversed one week later and the gold was declared vacant.
