It's no news that the IC belt needs a little shot of adrenaline or interest. I was thinking that they should place more emphasis on someone acknowledging and coming out and saying that they are gonna break Honky Tonk Man's 18 month streak. I'm not saying Big E is the guy to do it, because an angle like this requires some sharp mic work here and there. But I'd be fine if they tried it with him, because I do like him. There could be some great matches and feuds with Barrett, Sandow, Axel, Fandango, Rollins, Miz, Kofi....whoever. And although I'd rather see him as the WWE champ, I think Dolph is the perfect person to pull this off. It would put him back on the map and get him out of mid-card irrelevency.
Any thoughts on this are welcome. Could it work? Would it be interesting, or is Punk's record reign still too recent?

I thought Cody was going to do it. Then he lost it to Big Show so Show could have his Mania moment, won it back the next month, then pointlessly lost it to Christian. I think now that it will be the number 2 belt again, it will definitely get a resurgence, because guys like Ziggler, Sheamus, and Del Rio will be fighting for it.

I think they should have a 16 man tournament for the belt. It would make it seem a lot more important. Throw in higher level superstars like Jericho, RVD, Ziggler, ect.
Would really make it more important.

Didn't Santino already do that gimmick? It got over. It was awesome. Then they killed it. Stupid.

All that really needs to be done is have it defended regularly.

Ryback turning face by, beating the holy hell outa Heyman (giving him a huge reaction ) , then Axel, and eventually beating Axel for the IC title would've elevated it to places it hasn't been in years.
Too bad they're still just passing it around like some sort of toy

Cody was a great IC champion. Tyson Kidd could be the guy who could help the title out.

I don't remember Santino already doing this. If it was 09 or 10, I didn't really watch then. But who the f take him seriously? Putting a strap on Santino legitimizes crap.

There is no reason to invest in the IC Title. The WWE doesn't care so why should we. Its a worthless title thrown around every so often. If the IC Champs were involved in storylines we would have a reason to enjoy it. A few years ago Cody seemed to be doing that but very quickly found himself doing nothing. Wade Barrett this year had a interesting gimmick but they did nothing to make us interested in the guy.

If anybody would do it, it would have been Cody. I don't think it's very likely now.

Cody's late 2011- Wrestlemania 28 IC title run was awesome. Really made the title feel important again.

You just tried to disagree with me but ended up agreeing with me.

I wonder where the title is headed for with Big E as its champion... It needs to be defended regularly, have interesting matches and feuds for the title.. Hopefully Big E is the answer.

Agreed it needs to be defended more regular.
Also, Big E is NOT the guy to break Honky's record.
Maybe Ziggler.

The intercontinental belt should be like how TNA uses the x belt. It should be the next best belt. Heck in tna Sabin lost the world title and then won the x belt. I mean put del rio there, put ziggler there. It should be for the wrestlers that aren't maybe world title worthy but deserve a big name belt
