Im sure this isn't an original thread but I thought what the heck. Who do you most associate with the IC strap? Santana? Bret? Jericho? Chyna? What is your favourite Intercontinental Championship match? Favourite version of the belt? Greatest IC reign? And what are your thoughts on how the title is being used now?
(I meant to put this in the classic section so feel free to move it)

Sucker for the oval design. Started watching in '01.
Can't really sort out who I'd associate with the title.

Y2J would likely be #2 with who I'd associate with the IC Title.

Chris Jericho
Favorite matches are Jannetty vs Michaels from Raw May 93, Benoit vs Jericho from Royal Rumble 2001, and Jericho vs Rey Jr from The Bash 2009.
Love the oval title
I like how the title is being used now. At least it's being defended. Owens vs Ambrose at the Rumble was a classic.

Mr. Perfect and Razor Ramon are who I most associate with it. Favorite design is the classic version, so like the late 80s to mid 90s version. Not sure if there is any variation in that one but you get the idea. Favorite individual title run is probably Cody Rhodes' first run. Mr. Perfect and HBK's combined first and seconds, and then Ziggler's 2014 stuff have all been my favorites as well. I think the title is in a good place now but Ambrose needs to drop it to Owens. KO vs Ziggler could really use the title and likewise I'd like to see Styles win the IC Title soon in a feud with Owens, or anyone for that matter, at Mania or right after.

Gotta say either Razor Ramon or the Macho Man.

When I hear IC title I think of Orton. Only because I started watching in 2005 and he was instantly my favorite. I watched all his matches, especially his IC title reign.
I liked the old design but the current slightly updated classic version is cool as well.
Jericho is the greatest imo.
The title is meaningless. Last time imo that it had meaning was in 2011-2012 when Cody brought back the classic design. He brought life to the title and made it feel like an actual prize.

The Oval design is hot.

For me it will always be Bret.
Love the classic design that was used around his time and defenses against Piper, Perfect, and Bulldog.
I don't have a problem with how it's being used right now, it feels like the title means something again.

I most associate Chris Jericho with the Intercontinental Championship Title. My favorite Intercontinental Championship Title match is the WrestleMania VI WWE / Intercontinental Championship Title Unification main event. WWE Champion, Hulk Hogan vs. Intercontinental Champion, Ultimate Warrior. My favorite version of the Intercontinental Championship Title Belt is the oval version with a nameplate used from Christian's 2nd reign to Cody Rhodes 1st reign. The side plates featured the continents perfectly and I just really like nameplates on the main plates of Championship Title Belts. The greatest Intercontinental Championship Title reign is the Honky Tonk Man's 454 day reign. I think the Intercontinental Championship Title is being used now as the 2nd place Championship Title in today's WWE, the way it was before the WCW / ECW Invasion in 2001.

I've been watching for so long many many names come to mind. But I think Mr. Perfect was the greatest IC champion.

I don´t think the wm6 match was a title unification match.

Chris Jericho
I love the oval title, it's my all time favorite title design. I loved the IC title in the late 90s early 2000s when I first started watching. I always wanted to be IC champ more than world champ.

Chris Jericho is who I think of first, and the oval design is my favorite.

I don´t think the wm6 match was a title unification match. It was. I think it would have been cool if the outcome was reversed. I think the yellow strap Intercontinental Championship Title Belt would have looked great on Hulk Hogan.

I've always associated the belt with Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin. The one they all held is THE intercontinental belt in my eyes just cause that was around the time I watched the product. My favorite belt overall too. Nothing wrong with the new one with the white strap though.
