Championship Contender
The closest I've ever seen was in the road to Wrestlemania tour back in '98 when the WM was already set between The Rock and Ken Shamrock for the IC title. I was at the show in Chicago and Rock tried to use a steel chair while the ref was knocked loopy. Shamrock took it from him, hit him with it and put the ankle lock and Rock tapped out. Ref called for the bell and the arena went NUTS! Pandemonium was short lived as we saw the ref give the bell to the Rock and the announcer said, '....as a result of a disqualification, and STILL...' Apparently the ref was coming to and saw Ken use the chair.
Anyways, even though the match was already set for WM, I actually suspended reality and thought that Ken won that night and on the following Raw they would have to explain it and so forth. But have you actually seen a title legitimately change hands at a house show? I remember Lance Storm telling a story of how he had the hardcore title in WCW and he was wrestling Terry Funk in his home town. Funk actually won, to please the crowd and he lost the title back to Storm the next night.
