It's been nearly two full decades since WCW went out of business, but the company's impact on the wrestling world will not be forgotten about any time soon.

After it was bought out by WWE chairman Vince McMahon in 2001, WCW saw many of its top superstars move over to the rival company. This included some of its top World Champions, including Booker T, Kevin Nash and Ric Flair.

Over its final two years of business, WCW saw its main title change hands time and time again. We thought it'd be a good time to take a trip down memory lane and see how the final 10 WCW World Championship reigns stacked up against one another.

10 10. Vince Russo

The long-time WWE writer joined WCW as a writer in 1999, just when the company was beginning to fall apart. Russo even won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on the Sept. 25, 2000 episode of Nitro in a steel cage match.

However, Russo relinquished the title seven days later, and Booker T would go on to win the vacated championship. Simply putting the belt on a writer was just another cheesy and failure of a storyline by WCW. It made absolutely no sense.

9 9. Ric Flair

WCW just couldn't help but change the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship time and time and time again over their final two years.

Nash, as we'll get to later, kindly handed Ric Flair the World Championship just days after winning it. Well, the Nature Boy would lose it on the same day to Jeff Jarrett, thus ending his final reign with the WCW Championship. That's right, it didn't even last a day.

Booking decisions like this are why WCW lost the wrestling war to WWE. It's not hard to see why. And when you compare Ric Flair's 16 World Championship reigns to John Cena, just remember that the latter didn't have any of those handed to him on a silver platter.

8 8. Kevin Nash (Fourth Reign)

Nash won the World Heavyweight Championship for the fourth time in his career on the May 23, 2000 episode of WCW Thunder, thus ending Jeff Jarrett's one-day reign as the title holder.

However, Nash decided to simply hand over the title belt to Ric Flair, for whatever reason. Maybe it was just a sign of respect? At any rate, this went down as one of the shortest title reigns in history (six days), one that's easy for fans to forget.

7 7. Booker T (Second Reign)

Booker T defeated Kevin Nash in the main event of the 2000 Fall Brawl pay-per-view to win the second WCW World Heavyweight Championship of his career. This title reign would only last eight days, however, until Vince Russo won it eight days later.

Of course, Booker T would continue to regain the World title, only to drop it before eventually gaining it back. WCW's writers just weren't able to stick with one long-term champion as they began to reach their demise here.

6 6. Kevin Nash (Fifth Reign)

Booker T had won the World Heavyweight Championship at the 2000 Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, the same night where the infamous Hulk Hogan-Vince Russo incident took place.

Nash would defeat Booker T one month later on the Aug. 28 episode of Nitro to win the WCW Championship for the fifth reign of his career. This reign would only last 20 days, but it was still longer than the previous ones.

This also marked the final time where Nash would win the World Championship.

5 5. Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett's first two World Heavyweight Championship reigns lasted eight days apiece, and the third one only spanned three days. But finally, when he won it for a fourth time on the May 29, 200 episode of Nitro, Jarrett actually got a decent amount of time with it.

Jarrett would hold the World Heavyweight Championship for 41 days, before Booker T won it at the Bash at the Beach pay-per-view. You'll remember that Hulk Hogan won it that night when Jarrett lay down and purposely handed it to him.

But Vince Russo came out and nullified the decision, thus allowing Booker T to win and end Jarrett's reign.

4 4. Booker T (First Reign)

Thanks to the aforementioned Hogan-Russo incident at Bash at the Beach, it set the stage for Booker T to defeat Jarrett for the first WCW World Heavyweight Championship victory of his career.

You can say Booker T was simply in the right place at the right time that night, but he actually enjoyed a nice 50-day run with the title belt. In fact, this was the longest WCW World Heavyweight Championship reign since Sid Vicious' 76-day reign (Jan. 25, 2000 to Apr. 10).

Finally, someone held onto the title for more than a couple of weeks. Booker T kept it for nearly two months, before he lost it to Nash on the aforementioned Aug. 28 episode of Nitro.

3 3. Booker T (Third Reign)

Just one week after Vince Russo won the lone WCW World Heavyweight Championship of his career, Booker T was able to regain it on the Oct. 2, 2000 episode of Nitro. Russo, as mentioned earlier, had relinquished the title.

It was actually a boxing match between Booker T and Jeff Jarrett that night to determine the new World Heavyweight Champion. Booker T came out on top to win the title for a third time, and he would hold onto the championship for 55 days.

2 2. Scott Steiner

Nearly two months after Booker T won the WCW Championship, he defended it against Scott Steiner in the main event of the 2000 Mayhem pay-per-view. This was a straitjacket steel cage match, and Steiner would emerge victorious to capture the title for the first time in his career.

Steiner would have numerous successful title defenses during his run as champion, including two against Sid Vicious - one of which occurred at the 2000 Starrcade pay-per-view. Not only that, but Steiner was also able to retain against Kevin Nash in the main event of the 2001 SuperBrawl Revenge event - and at the Greed pay-per-view against Diamond Dallas Page.

Steiner's reign finally ended at 120 days, which brings us to number one...

1 1.Booker T (Fourth Reign)

He was the last WCW World Heavyweight Champion before the company went defunct in 2001, so it's only fitting that Booker T tops our list here. We're saving the best for last here, if you catch my drift.

Booker T defeated Steiner on the March 26, 2001 episode of Nitro - the final one in WCW's history. After it went out of business, Booker T signed with WWE - and he brought the World title with him.

Booker T would hold onto the title belt for 120 days before Kurt Angle defeated him on the July 24 episode of SmackDown. With that, the final World title reign in the history of WCW had come to an end. And it was certainly one that won't be forgotten.
