Should The WWE Just Do Away With The IC Title?

[metylerca]

This kind of question is brought to you from the makers of 'Should they turn ______ heel?'

[Thank You Shawn]

In a word, no

[Mister Yummy]

Here's how to improve the IC Title. Jeff hold onto it for now, and uses it as leverage in his world title feud with Orton. Jeff just chases the WWE Title, never winning it. I'd suggest a Time Limit Draw, if it weren't scheduled for the Rumble. Istead, Jeff could be disqualified, or Randy could too. Perhaps end it like the Jericho match. You could even turn HHH Heel with it, having him attacking Jeff during the match, followed by a HHH vs. Hardy feud for the IC title.

The irony is that if one where to trace the lineage of the US belt back to the late 70s which I don't the US. Title in the past 30 years has arguably had a more impressive roster of champions than the IC belt.

To me, the WCW United States Title is the most worthless belt ever.

For one, it's been vacated at least 11 times.

OK, genius, kindly state your case? Doing away with a belt that lost it's significance about 5 years ago is vastly different than someone turning face or heel. The IC title, at one time, was as hotly contested as the World Title. No one can deny that. It was also a stepping stone for wrestlers such as Savage, Warrior, HBK, Bret, Austin, Rock, HHH, among others. Lately, there are scant few who have gone from IC title holder to World Champ. Now it's being used as an ornament more or less. When was the last real meaningful feud for this title? When was the last time it was contested at Wrestlemania? The Woman's Title has seen more time at WM than the IC anymore.

So, genius, in short, instead of giving a one line idiotic answer, disprove what I've said about it. Convince me otherwise. If not, keep that gaping chasm under your nose shut. *drops mike and storms off*

And they did away with the IC belt for about two years. Kinda says "To hell with this belt" if you ask me. Which you didn't, but I'm saying it anyway.

How do you figure? Since the IC title came into existance(oddly enough, Snuka won the US title on the same day Patterson won the first IC), you had US champs such as:

Piper, Snuka, Flair, Valentine, Rude, Mulligan, Whindam, Austin, ect. Alot fo which have also held the IC title over the years. Pretty even when it comes to talent I'd say.

I'm not saying the US belt is heads and shoulders above the IC belt. Not by a longshot. The reason the IC champ was more known to the casual mainstream fan was because the WWE in the 1980s was more media saturated to the mainstream public than the NWA was. But that doesn't change the fact that the US title has had some impressive champions. Harley Race, Ricky Steamboat, Wahoo McDaniel, Magnum TA, Tully Blanchard, Terry Funk, Greg Valentine, Lex Luger and Nikita Kolloff, Sting and Vader were also US champions at one time or another. Yes guys like Brett Hart(US champ also), HBK and Ultimated Warrior were great IC champs but as a whole I think the US title boasts a more impressive quality group of guys.

Ha I love it. Doytch you are my favorite poster!!

[xwhatx]

Absolutely Not.

It's got way to much history and is the number 2 belt as far as I'm concerned. The brand split sucks and they should just have the World, IC, and Tag.
