WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Since its inception in WCW in late 1991, the Cruiserweight Championship has had a rollercoaster of an existence. Its first obstacle was overcoming an almost four-year lull when WCW failed to re-establish the championship after stripping Brad Armstrong of it in 1992. Since that time, several other questionable decisions were made—most notably when both Lenny Lane and The Artist were stripped of their titles in controversial fashion. In addition, the Cruiserweight Championship also found its way around the waists of some women’s wrestlers including Madusa. Despite all this, the Cruiserweight Championship became the highest accolade in cruiserweight wrestling. It is because of the efforts of superstars such as Gregory Helms, Chavo Guerrero, and Jamie Noble that the Cruiserweight Championship is held in such high regard.
