That's just not true. They absolutely 100% were not.

Being the king of the division means nothing if guys that should be in your division are too good for it and fighting in the main event. I mean, you said it yourself: Tyson Kidd and Sin Cara aren't at that level. Why would people take the division seriously if everyone knows that?
You're stuck on the weight thing. What if they did what TNA does and called it something like the X-Division title? Would that make all the difference to you? It's semantics. You can be in the weight range and not be in the division. It's fine. It's happened A LOT. Just like Chyna was not fighting in the women's division for most of her run. Did that make Trish or Lita being women's champion meaningless? No. She just... wasn't in the division. And most people didn't get anal about how it diminished the division meant for women.
