10 Most Disrespected Titles In WWE History

Not to be confused with the International Tag Team Championship, which lasted three years (over two stints), WWE’s Intercontinental Tag Team titles were part of WWE’s latter attempt to join forces with a Japanese organisation, this time the lucha-centred UWF.

To say this was the wrong horse to back is an understatement. UWF lasted five years, and while some great names passed through its gates - Jerry Lynn, Ultimo Dragon - it didn’t leave behind many matches of note. So to say that its brief partnership with WWE and the creation of the Intercontinental Tag titles was maybe its most obscure offering is really saying something.

The belts were awarded to Perro Aguayo and Gran Hamada in January of 1991. Then the titles were abandoned. That’s about all the information anyone bothered to note down about these belts - not the location, not the reason, not the process that led the company to scrapping the whole thing. It’s a miracle we even know the date, to be honest.

Did the belts actually get made? Were they physically handed to Aguayo and Hamada in a ceremonial fashion? We’ll probably never know. Even by WWE standards, that’s some short term booking.
