3. David Flair – United States Championship, 20 years, 3 months, 29 days
Back in 1999, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair’s son made his professional wrestling debut in the WCW, forming a tag team with none other than his very own father. Together, the two took on the formidable Curt Hennig and Barry Windham. The two would win the match, and David was only 19 at the time.
Still, it was clear David Flair needed some more experience before earning an actual championship. After a year of honing his craft, he was eventually given a vacant championship, as “Slick Ric” was forced to give up the United States Championship title. At 20 years old, 3 months, and 29 days, David Flair is one of the youngest United States Champions in wrestling history.
