I cannot stand what WWE is doing with the IC Title. It hasnt been defended at WM for 4 years straight and now they put the title on Umaga, who is so boring and huge. I think they need to get the IC title back its value. It needs to be defended at WM this year and they should give it to someone who holds it and defends it like it should be defended.

the prestige has been lost on a lot of titles over the last few years...especially when they bounce back and forth between like twenty people in a year..makes them lose their credibility...they need to put them on talented guys...build them up for a while.that way people will watch it to see when they lose them..

You mean with most of the wwe titles has lost value.
You want bobby lashey as the wwe champion so I dont you should be posting this topic about the IC title.

this has been known and discussed for years now. Yeah, I posted it last year, when they never had a IC division, but that doesnt make this any less true. |

It hasn't been defended since 'Mania X8....so that's five years. I'm also pissed about that.
I'm hoping when Umaga loses it that it gets an actual program over it. I can't remember the last time there was an actual feud over the IC title.

I think it lost any & all meaning when Chyna held it. What a joke that was. Let's hope something like that NEVER happens again.
To make the Intercontinental belt good again, you'd have to bring back the Classic design with new WWE block logo and put it on someone good like Mr. Kennedy or C.M. Punk or Finlay and let them have a long, long reign with it.

The IC title used to be as prestigious if not more than the WWF/E title. Nowadays, it's worthless. kinda craps on the legacy of Piper,Perfect, etc.

Umaga is crap... I wish they would have kept Maria out of any and all storylines, and given Santino some good feuds to work with. Umaga and Chris Masters aren't going to improve the credibility of ANYbody's title reign.
Right now, the only titles I see being used correctly (to some extent) are the US title, World title, and the World Tag titles.

They basically act like the Intercontinental belt is trash...just remember the time when it was awesome and had meaning.

WWE could actually have had Santino bring some prestige back to that belt. If Kennedy can win it, I definatly think if he gets a good run with it, it will be like Piper's run.

The IC will not have much value for a few months minimum. It belongs to someone like CM Punk or Finlay - A strong, talented mid carder. However, the WWE decide to give it to an 'audience member' and a seemingly unstoppable giant.. great. In truth it should be seen as the equivalent of the 'X division belt', but it really isn't.

The ECW title is the WWE's new IC belt. The IC belt is like the Cruiserweight belt.

Yeah, the IC title is pretty much just a mid card title now a days. I remember the good days of the IC belt where winning it would be a stepping stone towards the WWE Title, damn those were good times.

I also think having people that wont go higher in the business a good idea either.. Because that gets rid of the whole stepping stone effect..
