Jericho for me. He was booked strong as a mid carded and once he got the Undisputed title he was such a coward and hardly a challenge for Triple H. Had they kept booking him the way he was while feuding with Benoit, Angle, etc it would have been fine. But he became an instant coward.

Backlund's 1994 reign. It was completely pointless to have him win the belt. I know it was served ONLY to transition the belt from Hart to Diesel. IMO Owen was the person whom should have filled this spot. Yes it probably would have been his only World Title reign but at least it would have made sense. Miz and Jericho are tied as well (this is Jericho's WWE not WHC title reign). Both guys at the time of their reigns were not what I would consider world champions and both also played third fiddle to Rock/Cena and HHH/Steph feuds, respectively. I've only read the first page but THIS one million times over. Bob certainly didn't need the extra reign at all and Owen having it would have made his feud with Bret all that much greater. I'm really hoping their entire feud becomes available on the Network.

tbh sheamus in 2009 was pretty terrible.. just a lame hotshot to the title iirc. Also whoever held the title during that whole hhh/hardy/edge/kozlov gimmick they did back in 08/09.. the title was a hot potato imo.

Well right now, I think it is Randy Orton. There has been several bad champions in the past.

-- Having not followed WWE closely for nearly 9yrs now, I did notice that one of the WWE Champions was Mike Mizarian... when I read he was champion, I laughed myself to tears. May as well have given the belt to a goat... because when I think of Miz with that belt, I think of goats f***ing in a shaded corner of a barn!
Miz to that belt... is what Kevin Connolly is, to that belt!

IMO, it's between The Miz and Alberto Del Rio; I just never bought both guys as champion, regardless of how they were booked. Just photos of them with them holding the belt looked off to me.

I feel like he doesn't get the credit he deserves for becoming so unliked, which was the whole point to begin with.

Slaughter. Absolutely crap champion, got the title just so he could job against Hogan at Wrestlemania 7.

Shawn Michaels 1997 final WWE championship run. Awful, he didn't take anything seriously and cried the entire time backstage. I'm glad they decided to drop the belt to Steve Austin at 14.

John Cena & Miz
All Cena does is get "injured" comes back wins everything and does the same old boring sholder tackles I mean Edge was top Champ!!
Miz just was not WWE Champion material...

I still can not believe they gave the strap to Miz. A total insult to the past greats that held the WWF/E championship. Plus he was in the Main Event at Wtestlemania too. WTF was Vince thinking?

For me it's definitely the Miz, I really could not stand his reign. He never seemed like a believable WWE champion to me. It makes it even worse that he's still hanging around now pretty much doing nothing.
I liked Sheamus' first reign, it was someone new and was pretty unexpected. It also helped to build up the Sheamus character. His second reign however I thought was awful and completely unnecessary. I hated that he fueded with the same two people as his first reign in Cena and Orton.
Sgt Slaughter and Bob Backlund were the only other reigns that were kind of unnecessary but since they were just transitional moves I find it believable storyline wise. It did also help that both guy was no longer actively wrestling a year later. I really hate when wrestlers just hang around and do nothing after they've already reached the top of the mountain.

If Im being honest, and I know I might get a lot of hate for this, Punk is one of the worst WWE Champions ever. His reign on top was incredibly boring. Him coming out and cutting 20 minutes promos every Monday was so boring. He only headlined like what 2 ppvs as champion? The WWE didnt see him as a big enough draw to headline unless it was with Cena. Him being a face got stale fast. Putting him with Heyman when he turned heel was a mistake IMO. I only enjoyed one fued he had when he was champion and that was his feud with Jericho. They tried making him the modern day Austin by making him fight the authority and being the "Voice of the Voiceless" and all that crap and it just didnt work IMO. They didn't try to make him like Austin, they neutered his push by having Triple Ego go over him and then have him lose the title. After that, they turn him face, take away all the things that got him over (Anti establishment character) and make him use dumb lines like tool box. His feud with Jericho was trash because they went to personal instead of BITW vs BITW. WWE didn't trust him because they didn't want to, if they don't like you then they pull the rug from under you. See, Sandow, Ziggler, Ryback, BARRETT

Looking at some of the answers in here, I'd have to say that I didn't think the Miz was that bad. He had some okay matches with Randy Orton and John Cena, but a very good one with John Morrison. He worked to get to the top and was really over as a heel. Yes, he was an afterthought on the Road to WrestleMania and that hurt for sure.
Sgt. Slaughter wasn't a good Champion, but putting the belt on him wasn't a bad call because he was drawing massive heat for being a turncoat. Alberto Del Rio wouldn't have been a bad decision, his timing was always bad though. At WrestleMania they wanted to give Edge a win after he lost in a few straight Manias, at Extreme Rules they gave it to Christian after Edge's retirement for a feel good moment and then he won finally during the Summer of Punk, so the crowd didn't want it at all.
Bob Backlund's 1994 reign was bad and should've gone to another guy, like Owen Hart. Yokozuna's 93-94 reign was too long. Mankind was a good choice for Champion, but his reigns weren't good. Mr. McMahon is self-explanatory. Hulk Hogan's 2002 reign was a poor idea. Big Show again isn't a bad Champion, but had some poor reigns. Rey Mysterio's firs title reign was dreadful. Jack Swagger got the belt way too soon, he should've been built up before cashing in. Christian had some lame reigns as World Champion.
The worst would be The Great Khali though. Bad choice, bad reign, bad everything.

Bad choice, bad reign, bad everything. I agree with a lot of this. But not Hogan's 2002 reign. That was awesome, and the fans wanted it SO badly. It didn't last too long, which was perfect. A few of those are WHC reigns too, and can't really be counted as it was technically a mid card title.

I'm honestly still sickened at how little Alberto Del Rio has been mentioned. I liked him back then, but his title reign was so darn boring.
