5 Title Reigns In WWE You Probably Don't Remember

To be a champion is the goal of any WWE superstar. It shows you've made it, and that in the years and decades to come, that your legacy will be immortalized.

When you think of champions, you may think of the 16 World Championship reigns of the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Or perhaps the record-setting 9 WWE Intercontinental championship reigns of Chris Jericho. Or even the combined tag championship reigns of the Dudley Boyz.

But not everyone can have memorable reigns, and here we have 6 title reigns that did not raise any eyebrows.

Note: We will not be including one-day reigns such as Kane's WWF title win, or Daniel Bryan's WWE title wins in 2013.

#5 Intercontinental Champion Ezekiel Jackson

June 19, 2011 - August 9, 2011

Jackson after winning the championship at the Capitol Punishment Pay Per View.

Ezekiel Jackson was seemingly built to be a champion in WWE. A massive, young man, the sky was the limit for the Guyanese star. Jackson had already claimed championship gold (well, silver) defeating Christian on the final episode of ECW to claim the ECW Championship.

By 2011, Jackson had joined the Corre, teaming with former Nexus members Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, and Heath Slater. After breaking from the group, Jackson feuded with Barrett, taking the Englishman's Intercontinental Championship.

Despite his physique, Jackson failed to make waves as champion, with few title defenses. After 51 days, Jackson lost the title to Cody Rhodes, who quickly made his mark, changing the championship belt to the classic white-strap design we have today.

#4 World Heavyweight Champion: Jack Swagger

April 2, 2010 - June 21, 2010

The beautiful thing about the Money In the Bank contract is that it can make a star overnight. You can go from being dwindling on the pre-show, to main eventing pay per views for years to come.

For Jack Swagger, things didn't quite turn out that way.

Swagger won the coveted briefcase in the largest MITB ladder match, defeating 9 other opponents to win. It was a bad sign that the Oklahoma native took an age to unhook the briefcase.

Cashing in on the immediate Friday Night SmackDown, Swagger defeated a prone Chris Jericho to become World Champion. However, almost immediately, Swagger changed. He went from a brash, emotive in your face star, to a quiet, reserved, stone-faced champion. His reign didn't last long, losing the title to Rey Mysterio in a Fatal 4-Way, and Swagger, despite teaming with Dolph Ziggler and claiming the US Title later in his career, never truly recovered.

#3 WWE Tag Team Champion: Heidenreich

July 24, 2005 - October 25, 2005

Heidenreich has always been something of an enigma. Originally pitched to be a cryogenically-frozen Nazi who had been revived by Paul Heyman (who is in real-life a Jewish son of a Holocaust survivor), Heidenreich was always someone to be wary of.

After turning face in 2005, Heidenreich sided with legend Road Warrior Animal, as the new Legion of Doom. Teaming with Christy Hemme, the pair quickly won the WWE Tag Team Championships from MNM at the Great American Bash.

Despite a 3 month reign, the two never set the world on fire, despite Heidenreich painting his face to match his team-mate. Even using the Doomsday device couldn't salvage this group, and they lost the titles back to MNM in October. Heidenreich was released in January the next year.

Intercontinental champion: Luke Harper

November 17, 2014 - December 14, 2014

Harper

Lasting a mere 27 days, Luke Harper's Intercontinental championship reign was short-lived, to say the least. The future-Bludgeon Brother captured the title from Dolph Ziggler, who had put his career on the line to take the belt from the Miz.

Harper won the title after interference from Seth Rollins, who was leading team Authority against team Cena at the time, building to their Survivor Series winner takes all match.

Harper had very few title defenses, and lost the title almost immediately, back to Ziggler in a Ladder match at TLC. It would be 3 years later before the former Brodie Lee tasted gold again.

#5 Cruiserweight Champion: Kid Kash

December 18, 2005 - January 29, 2006

Kash was a former ECW star, who had made the leap to WWE following the One Night Stand 2005 pay per view. Portrayed as a ruthless, tenacious cruiserweight, he captured the title from Juventud at his first SmackDown pay per view, Armageddon.

But for all his skills, Kash never really clicked with the crowd, and he would later drop the title at the next pay per view to Gregory 'Hurricane' Helms, who would go on to have an impressive 385-day reign with the gold.

Hornswoggle may be remembered as the worst Cruiserweight champion, but what is worse? Being remembered for being bad? Or not being remembered at all?
