Than does ECW Title have the history going back to 1993? Actually it goes back even further when it was the old Tri-State Wrestling Alliance before it was sold and became Eastern Championship Wrestling then Extreme Championsip Wrestling. This timeline goes back to the late 80's. (impressed I know that? Admit it, you are.) Anyhoo, my vote goes to the U.S. Title right now. The IC title has been bounced around from Carlito, Shelton, Nitro, and Jeff Hardy. Not exactly Benoit, Lashley, JBL, and, dare I say it, Cena.

I voted IC a second ago, but I seriously changed my mine. The IC title had too many crappy winners in the Attitude Era. And will you guys stop about titles being "hotshotted" around and WWE or TNA playing "hot potato"(do you realize how really stupid that sounds when someone says that) with a title? It doesnt add any less prestige to a title. Now if someon of The Dicks or something suddenly won it, then it would. But having short reigns doesnt, just means the Division is really good. Besides, its really unrealistic for every reign to be 7 months...

The IC title's fall from grace came when they switched from the classic design to the current one.
I don't think it ever recovered from being held by duds like Billy Gunn, Albert, Godfather and Chyna.
All the titles in the WWE have lost prestige.

Well right now the US title is being held hostage by a Telemundo Story Line, so IC Title That was only a month, and now it's back to benoit defending against all comers. I'm aware, but I refuse to believe we've heard the last of that storyline.

Intercontinental. I still associate the belt with Savage, Steamboat, Perfect, Hart, Michaels, Razor, Austin, Rock, Owen, and Hunter. I don't really associate WWE's United States title as being the same title that was held by Luger, Sting, Vader, Flair, Guerrero, DDP, Booker, Goldberg, Bret, Hall, Steiner, and Benoit. I think of it as a title WWE created during this decade for Smack Down, which WWE treats as the secondary show (even if it is the most well-booked show at various times, like now).

US Title as of now. Yes the Hardy Nitro fued has lifted it some but the ic title has not been defended at Wrestlemania since Mania 18 and is barely even noticed on Raw over the last few years. The US title however has propelled guys like Kennedy, Eddy, Big Show, Finlay, Lashley Cena etc. I don't even know how it is a comparison at the present time.

The IC title used to be a stepping stone to main event status, but now that people who aren't going anywhere like Benjamin, Borelito(OH SNAP!) are holding it, it means nothing(to me anyway) so US title gets the nod.
