[5.0] "Just like the cruiserweight tag belts the lightweight belt didn't last long, only difference is this belt lasted longer and WCW didn't give a shit about it, barely any tv time and barely any build to the matches, damn shame given the quality of matches."
[4.0] "The short-lived WCW Light Heavyweight Title never got a fair shake. It was held by some great wrestlers, including Brian Pillman, Jushin Thunder Liger and Brad Armstrong, challenged for by a few more, including Johnny B. Badd and Pegasus Kid (Benoit), and even taken to NJPW where Liger defended it alongside the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title. But while fans liked the faster-paced ring style the belt's division presented, company higher-ups, including then-booker Bill Watts, weren't on board, and after the belt was vacated due to an injury to Armstrong, the planned tournament for the belt never materialized and it was never mentioned again, the title's history having lasted just under a single year. The WCW LHW title's potential may never have been realized, but it did at least serve as a precursor to WCW's renowned late-'90s Cruiserweight Title (and indeed, WWE's records now considers the Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight Titles to share a lineage)."
