WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, 2000-2002

Note:  there was a version of the WWF Light Heavyweight title, that existed primarily in Mexico in the 1980s and 1990s.  It was unified during the Octuple Jr. heavyweight tournment in Japan in 1996.  When the WWF decided to hold this tournament to crown a new champion, the belt from the Octuple championship was returned and no longer recognized.
