10 Most Disrespected Titles In WWE History
5. Canadian Championship
We’ve seen titles created more or less for one wrestler plenty of times - Triple H lobbying to bring back the Big Gold Belt, for example, or the Million Dollar Championship. The problem with being awarded a belt, though, is: what do you do once you’ve won it?
In the mid ‘80s, Dino Bravo began billing himself as the Canadian Champion. Taking this to its logical conclusion, WWE made this official, giving the stoic strongman a belt to defend on the house show circuit. They did this for a bit, got bored of it, gave up, and scrapped the whole thing. Bravo left the company for a while, then returned in a midcard role.
The problem, other than WWE’s disinterest in actually doing anything with this idea, was that, for all his talents, Bravo didn’t possess the kind of charisma needed to make a new belt into a thing. He just plodded on, same as ever. It’s hard to establish a title as a prize worth winning then the guy carrying it doesn’t seem to want it himself.
