I could be wrong but they don't seem to ever mention Luke Harper being a former IC champ

The Miz and R-Truth once made the ENTIRE ROSTER threaten to walk out and quit the company because they were scared of getting beat up by them. This only happened because Vince once again used WWE to make a political statement. False. This was a total shoot angle.

The first recognised by WWE, though the title's lineage dates back to 1981 in the UWF. Yea That's what I meant. I just thought around the time of the cwc and the start of 205 they would of mentioned it a bit more I suspect that it's partly because the light heavyweight championship was generally seen as a poor man's cruiserweight championship when the Monday Night Wars were on.

Exactly this. After all, when they started consolidating belts post-Invasion, the Light-Heavyweight title was the only WWE title retired in favour of the WCW equivalent.

I think it's kind of acknowledged, but not phrased this way, but Daniel Bryan beat all of Evolution, on his own, in one night, with a bad arm.

Benoit being a former WCW champ never gets mentioned Amusingly enough, WCW never acknowledged it since it was just done to appease him to stay with the company after the Kevin Sullivan coup. As he immediately left anyway, they just trotted out Arn Anderson the next night (who was the guest ref) to say he made a bad call and the finish was rescinded. For the next year, WCW never had Benoit in its official title history. That was retconned when WWF bought WCW's assets, and Benoit was inserted as an official WCW champion. Now, of course, all of Benoit's accomplishments are rightfully glossed over, even if they're still listed in the lineages.

Is Jericho the only person beat both Rock and Austin in the same night?

He's missing the IC Belt. If he wins that he'll join Edge as a winner of the Grand Slam, KOR, Rumble and Mr. MiTB. And another that don't get mentioned is the fact Jeff Hardy has won every major WWF Title befor the original Brand Split.
