Thank you, Landy. I was given a link to the History of the WWE site, and would have had a browse when I had the time, but I thought I'd ask someone here just in case they knew of a match.It's a pity Rick Rude left WCW in 1994 (back injury, I think) as a Hulk Hogan/Rick Rude feud may have been good. Rick Rude would have also made a good WWF prospect in 1994 - imagine the prospect of Rick Rude/Razor Ramon for the I-C Title, or even WWF Champion Bret Hart VS Rick Rude.

Has there ever been anyone who had a heel turn during a major championship reign?

The most obvious answer to mind is Randy Savage, who - as WWF Champion -turned on Hogan in late '88/early '89 when he became jealous of the (naturally well-meaning) attention Hogan paid Elizabeth - saving her from beatings, carrying her out of the way when she gets hurt etc.

I wish I could be of more help, but the only place that I've seen it, recently, is on OzShop and they only ship to Australia and New Zealand.My advise would be to keep an eye out on eBay. There's been several Captain Charisma T-shirts sold on there lately...
