kinda like how nwa/wcw had the US Tag belts and the TV Champ
with all those stars in late 80's early 90's in wwf, we coulda used a couple more belts
lower teams like killer bees, rougeaus, young stallions, islanders, power n glory, beverly bros, etc woulda been perfect for IC tag belts
then lesser wrestlers like koko b ware or red rooster or rick martel even could been the TV champs
and we could had title vs title matches with them all as well
thoughts?

Not me. I'm not a big fan of too many belts, it dilutes the importance of the ones they have. I always liked the old WWF with just the World, IC, and Tag Titles. Then you also had the Million $ Belt and the King's Crown.

I could see a TV title that was defended weekly on Superstars/Prime Time Wrestling but I wouldnt want a mid card tag title.

I'm with MKSavage. The belts they had were more than enough |

For me the IC tag titles wouldn't have been a good idea because Stallions, Bees, 88 Bulldogs, Rougeaus & Islanders were job teams. By the time P&G & Beverly's arrived? the division was too weak to support them.
I would have liked a TV title though & I genuinely feel there was room for this belt. If NWA/WCW had room for one? Vince def did.

Tag titles like MKSavage said it would have been to many and diluted the main tag team championships. But like Nivro™ said a TV title would have been good with their weekly shows. |

I'm with MKSavage . The belts they had were more than enough And the best looking belts too:     Might as well add the King's Crown, too:  Not me. I'm not a big fan of too many belts, it dilutes the importance of the ones they have. I always liked the old WWF with just the World, IC, and Tag Titles. Then you also had the Million $ Belt and the King's Crown. i never felt that with nwa/wcw and they had 5 belts and wwf had more tag teams and mid-carders thatd been perfect for a tv title I did. The TV title, the US tag titles, the 6-man titles, all of that felt like too many championships. If you're not in the main event scene, then you should be shooting for the IC title, not a lesser belt like the TV title or 24/7 title. |

I remember there was an articles in an old PWI magazine I believe it was, that talked about how the WWF should have an IC Tag Title for teams to compete for.
Now... I am for it and against it. I am for it because...
Look at the NWA. They had the US Tag Team Titles, and we got to see an amazing feud between the Midnight Express vs. The Fantastics in 1988 for those belts, as well as the Midnight Express vs. the Southern Boys in 1990 for those exact same belts.
If they had an IC Tag Title in the WWF, we may have had some stellar, special, magical wrestling matches with the likes of Killer Bees, Young Stallions, Rougeau Bros. and then as the time went on, Rockers, Orient Express, and Power & Glory.
As for the TV Title, with how much television the WWF had in the 80s, you would think a TV Title would have made sense. But Vince used the TV shows to hype the house shows, or PPV events. It wasn't about having belts defended. And when they were defended on TV it was a special treat. Especially if they changed hands!

For some reason I always felt Bad News Brown would have made an excellent TV champ

Would have to echo the majority and say no. If everyone is a champion, no one really is.

There should always be one set of tag belts but a TV would've been epic.
