I was wondering with all the titles that have gone by the wasteside which belt is the least important belt? My pick would be the Women's Tag Team Titles. Mostly because most of the time there aren't enough women to even form more than maybe two tag team and thus seems very useless to me.
But anyway what is everyone elses opinion on what was the worse title? I didn't include the co-promotional belts or the old WWWF belts mostly because I didn't think anyone would have any opinion on that but if you think they are the most useless vote in other and post why they were terrible.

Women's Tag Team was useless. The others at least had some purpose.

Women's tag team. Not even a blip on the radar.
The hardcore title, for a while, was actually contested pretty well and had some good feuds over it as well as some memorable matches.
The European title was good when D-Lo and Al Snow were in the hunt.
The ECW title was a pretty big deal when RVD, Big Show, CM Punk had it and was treated pretty well.
Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweights weren't really pushed much, but were still better than the women's tag team.

I voted for the Women's Tag Titles, but why are the Hardcore and European Titles on this list?
The European Title was pushed well and a lot of top guys have held it, Michaels, Triple H, Angle, Jericho, Regal and great mid card wrestlers like D'Lo Brown.
The Hardcore Title, while not a very valuable belt was given a lot of time during '99 and especially 2000, and again, a lot of top wrestlers have held this belt. Mankind, Kane, Undertaker to name a few. It had it's place on Raw and PPV's and helped get a lot of wrestlers over.

The Lightweight/Cruiserweight titles. Vince showed time and again he never cared about the division or the wrestlers in it. I think he simply felt forced to bring it in because WCW's Cruisers were so good at the time.
Plus nothing beats the period of time that Al Snow held the European title.

I voted for the Womens Tag Titles I think it's fair to say both the European and Hardcore championships started out well but as the years went on they got pushed further down the card and into more of a joke. Although it's ironic as the Hardcore championship was started as a joke towards Mankind when he was with the corporation (to try and keep him away from going after The Rock and the WWF championship) and the European championship was started because WCW had a US championship.

European Championship. They already had the Intercontinental Championship, and Europe is a Continent. So even in kayfabe terms the IC title should have covered Europe.

The Continents referred to in the IC title were North America and South America. I never had a problem with the European Championship. I mean, yeah it was rarely defended in Europe, but misnomer aside, it helped with a really stacked roster at the time. Plus, it makes sense the IC title was above it, because it represented more land. I voted for the Light Heavyweight Championship, since WWF didn't put much effort into getting it over. Plus, American Pro Wrestling isn't meant to have that kind of title. Its just another way of saying "This is the furthest you're going to get in your career so get use to it". I'm suprised WCW pulled that off well.

The European title was the worst IMO. It just didn't make any sense,since it was rarely defended in Europe. If they wanted another title they could of made a tv title or something.

It's got to be the Women's Tag Titles. Hell, they only existed because they signed the Jumping Bomb Angels in the first place.

I always felt the same way. If the belt is going to represent an area, it should primarily be defended it that region. TV title, US title, etc. The original IC belt represented North & south america. I believe the current version represents Europe as well since the titles were merged.. I always thought the hardcore title was nothing more than a joke; from it's inception through it's demise. It was a fun prop at the beginning with Foley. Never cared about either cruiser weight belts. period. Technically, they could have elevated the light-heavyweight belt by not restricting it to cruiserweights. Light-Heavyweight is like a middle category between cruisers & heavys. Guys like Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Road Dog, Billy Gunn, & Steve Blackman, all could pass as "Light-Heavyweights," and would have given the title much more credibility. I posted a picture of the Lady's Tag Team belts in the Ugly Belts thread. Ultimately, I voted for ECW. why? Because I never watched it. I thought it was stupid to try & recreate a dead franchise. The original ECW was amazing. There was no way Vince could recreate that.

The Continents referred to in the IC title were North America and South America. The belt's plates have all the continents represented. Plus the WWE's story about the IC title being born out of a merger between the North and South American titles is one big heaping of BS anyway.

Light Heavywieght belt--this was one of the few times I could use the term "a Poor man's..." to describe anything about a WWF or WWE product/wrestler ect. Lame lame lame a poor man's Cruiserwieght championship. The tourney for it has made more Botchamania's than the entire last year of Nitro, Thunder and WcW Worldwide combined

How about titles like the Canadian or Martial Arts championship. Or the WWF Intercontinental tag team titles which existed when they worked with UWF in Japan?
On a side note I'd love to see what those belts actually looked like, if they existed.
