Maybe.
To me anyway, the European Championship was always on the same level as the Intercontinental Championship, as in it was a mid-card title.
That view, to me, was confirmed on two occasions when the title was unified with the Intercontinental Championship in 2002 and then again a year later when the United States Championship was revived and treated in pretty much the same way as the Intercontinental Championship.
