WE Hall of Famers Sgt. Slaughter and Greg Valentine. With each great name that captured the championship came more prestige.
In the late 1990s, however, the U.S. Championship was vacated more times than sports-entertainment fans could keep up with.
As a result, the championship lost a bit of its luster. Several years later, the U.S. Championship finally regained the glory
it held in years past when competitors like Eddie Guerrero, Booker T and John Cena fought over it in many memorable battles.
