Why did it have to come to this breh:why:

I just remember until the turn of the century the IC title was a very credible belt to hold. It was like holding that belt meant you were groomed to be the eventual champion and it was really the belt they gave you to see how much you could over or have heat with even if you werent necessairly the face (Bret, Razor, Shawn, Perfect, Austin, Owen). Same with the US belt

And all its just takes is putting intruiging valuable storylines to the fueds to give that credibility back to the titles. Then you dont have to worry about depth issues and filler. How you gonna have a 3 hour weekly show on Mondays, 2 hours on Friday, 1 hour each on the other days and talk about we dont have enough time to develop or give wrestlers stories. Make people DVR or download the other shyt with intruiging storylines like back in the day.
So much fukking truth in bold. Lot of times the IC champs were more interesting than the world champs. And if that wasn't the case, they certainly had enough going for them that it was equally interesting to watch. fukk.

Can never get enough of young HBK or, Razor DA GAWD. Rude fukking shyt up and so forth. You get the picture. shyts sad, b.

I agree with you guys but that was 15-20 years ago though. That's like old fans from the 60's and 70's complaining about people "exposing the business" in the late 80's-early 90's

We gotta stop clinging to the golden years of the IC strap and start looking at it for what it is today. Until they make a serious effort to change things around, that strap is just a prop :sadcam:

But hey, we could've said the same thing about the tag belts 2 years ago and nowadays they have more weight than any other title other than the main one. It's not a lost cause :ehh:

That's not the same thing at all, holding a belt should put you over and give or at least mean you get an interesting storyline. If not then what are we doing exactly? Is Cesaro without a belt more over than Ziggler that is a necessity to have him give him so many L's? Then put the belt on Cesaro. Make the wrestlers feud or something.

If you make the belt just a prop, then you're just asking more wrestlers to leave WWE cause its like the only option to get over or be something in the business is get the world belt or fued with Cena and thats a 1/50 chance to be that guy. Develop your talent and diversity througout a variety of interesting storylines with the belts as the hook.

Who are you arguing with breh :dwillhuh: I agree with you.

I just don't get why people still think getting the IC means something when it really doesn't. I'm not saying that's a good thing. I used the old fan analogy because that's how people talking about the IC belt sound like.

Who said I was arguing:leon:

I just dont think finding value in the belt is as old fashioned as Kayfabe. if anything if you make it seem relevant you have to force the writers to make interesting storylines and thus work more with the personalites of the wrestlers to bring them out more . Like I said they got a 3 hour primetime show and only 3 storylines and it doesnt make sense.

Uncertain grounds
The worst role you can have as a regular talent on WWE TV is IC/US champ. Getting that belt means you are gonna get jobbed all the time because "you already have the belt". I actually don't want Ziggler or Cesaro as champs :manny:

total cosign. been saying/thinking this myself for a while now..specifically with ziggler and cesaro. its kinda a role where they have no extended or good feuds set up so they just throw a brief set of matches together for a mid-card with no where to go after except the same thing against different people. its not the catapult to the big belt like it was at all. its more-so for good in ring workers (usually) that fans like so they can be on tv consistently and add to the in ring work of the show instead of all the drama bs surrounding it.

Wwe is hurt cause Vince doesn't care about midcarder stuff . You know how easy it is to get these belts back over ?? Give reigns the ic title and have him beating dudes for months straight leading into his feud with brock at summerslam , have Wyatt lay out Shame and eventually win the belt and continue talking about power And how no one can take it from him . They never give the belts to guys when they hot instead it's when they are already in the midcard ..1

Coke boy is crazy not to think of developing a complete roster by actually adding value to the midcard if thats the case

This should get 20 minutes or better cause both of these cats can go in the ring. But more than likely we will get a 10 minute match with the falls being rushed.
