Championship bookends

By Scott Keith on 4 December 2023


Thinking about people who both start and end a title reign in style.

Apart from Ricky Steamboat's NWA title reign in 1989, is there anyone else who had a ***** match (or close to it) both when they won a title and when they lost the same title?

Or just, without scouring the archives, is there a memorable win title / lose title combo that springs to mind?

The Rock in 2001 comes to mind right away.
