30 Most Inconsequential WWE Titleholders Of All Time

20. Rikishi - Intercontinental Champion - 14 Days (2000)

Rikishi is a WWE Hall of Famer, and they made sure to mention that Big Kish was a former Intercontinental Champion. What gets conveniently left out of the narrative was how unmemorable Rikishi€™s reign was. He upset Chris Benoit to win the belt on an episode of Smackdown prior to the King of the Ring, where Rikishi ironically was facing Benoit in the first round. Two weeks after winning the belt, Rikishi dropped it to Val Venis on Smackdown. In fact, the only memorable moment of this time of year happened after Rikishi dropped the belt to Val. They had their rematch at Fully Loaded in a Steel Cage, which had the memorable moment of Rikishi jumping off the top of the cage. However, Rikishi was the challenger in that match, not the champion.
