Inspired by a recent Joker post, I ask: who do you think have had notably undeserving reigns with any title?
Among Intercontinental Champions, I'd have to acclaim Marc Mero as the one of the most undeserving. Mero's entire WWE career can only be highlighted by Sable getting the best of him on many occasions, and I always thought he was boring in the ring. Despite my beliefs, Mero held the I-C Belt twice.
Also, Ezekiel Jackson should never have been the last ECW Champion, or an Intercontinental Champion for that matter.
Orlando Jordan's US Title reign should not have been as long as it was. I understand it was to put over a storyline (which why couldn't they have Cena drop the belt to someone due to The Cabinet's interference?), but having a 5+ month reign is laughable coming from someone like that.

Mero only held it once. he won it in a tournament final over Farooq ( an injured Ahmed Johnson had to give it up), and lost it to Triple H when Mr. Perfect set him up a little over a month later.

Miz (why did someone think it was a good idea to hand the top title to him). Ezekiel Jackson's WWECW Title & Intercontinental reigns. Yeah Mero wasn't that good, so Mero. Cena's win against Mysterio when Punk was away with the title.
People are going to hate me for this, but Diesel. I just never liked the guy and another one would be Backlund's title win in the 90's, they could've let win Owen get his (official) revenge on Bret (as Owen did win the Title, but it's not official).

WWE Title
- The Miz: I said it when he first won the title and I'll say it now; WTF?
- Vince McMahon: This was purely to feed his ego (same when he won the ECW Title). I love how people point to David Arquette and Vince Russo hurting the credibility of the WCW Title, but forget this. I think people look past this because of the WWF being red hot at the time, but I think this hurt the WWF Title's credibility as well.
- Sgt. Slaughter: He simply won the title because they needed it off of Warrior and because of the Iraqi War. Once the war ended, however, Slaughter's heel heat went w/ it and the venue had to be changed due to tickets not selling well. Savage should have taken the title from Warrior.
- Bob Backlund (1994): This was the "New Generation," yet a guy who was last WWE Champ before the "Hulkamania" era was holding the belt. Obviously he was given it to drop to Diesel days later, but it still made no sense giving him the title. Have Owen take Backlund's spot and win the title, but have him hold it until the Rumble where he'd then put Diesel over.
- Big Show (1999): Vince botched the booking of Show from the beginning, and this title run made no sense. Rocky, HHH, and Foley were the hot stars w/ Austin and Taker out w/ injuries, yet Show was forced into the title scene because Vince had promised him a WM main event. I also felt Show defeating HHH for the title hurt Rocky's eventual title win over HHH.

Not a single mention of Khali?
Don't see how Miz wasn't deserving, the guy worked his ass off, just because he never came from indies like ROH & you don't like him, doesn't mean he didn't deserve it.

A lot of mine have been mentioned, another one is Santino as IC champion. How do you justify giving someone a belt in their first match?
Also Ted Dibiase Jr as tag champion, same reason as Santino. Vince Russo as WCW Champion.
