To start out, I absolutely love the ic title. I love the look of it, any version of it is absolutely beautiful if you ask me. I remember there was a time when it was a major title. I'd live for it to be like that but they have to stop giving it to absolutely nobody's just to try and get them over like big e. (Hasn't done anything to impress me) giving it to axel was cool at first but he completely flopped. So the question is...who would you give it to now to bring back that prestige. I think it needs to be in a storyline. If it was me....I'd give it to cena and have him and bray feud for it instead of cenas "legacy" And another question, when do you think it lost it's prestige. I would say around...2006 maybe. Discuss. EDIT: If anyone wants to post pictures of any version of the belt that would be just fine. I ing love the look of it.

Cesaro should go over in the tournament, win Big E. Hold the title for a long ass reign and have some great matches with top talent challenging him. It's the only way I can thinking of even trying to gain prestige to it again. However at this point, the Intercontinental title could be a lost cause at this point.

The storyline is that the competitors in the tournament are treating it like a huge deal. Sheamus' pre-show interview built up the title.
They are trying to rebuild it to how it once was.
Who should be champion? Big E is great. Cesaro would have been great. As would BNB.

Cody should have still had the title to this day.

The Intercontinental belt lost its prestige back in 1999 when it changed hands every month and held by guys like Val Venis, Godfather, Road Dogg and Chyna

Considering both the UC and U.S. belts are barely on the line in a match, they are currently worthless.
They've spent the last year pumping up the WWE title that they haven't done anything for the lower-tier belts.
The sheer fact that they are having an IC tournament is a big step forward. I would then have HHH put Ambrose in a match for the U.S. title and have him lose (probably not clean). The U.S. belt should be on someone not in a faction.

I'm at happy it's at least prestigious unlike the US title.

Big E isn't doing anything with that title. Cesaro should win it and hold it for a long time and have memorable feuds.

I can't wait for Barrett to win the title at Extreme Rules, just hope they give him a good storyline when he does have it.

It's not about long reigns, it's about credible reigns. In 2012 I would've had Cody Rhodes hold the belt for the majority of the year and defend it consistently on every PPV against big names.
Having guys like Sheamus, Christian, RVD and Alberto Del Rio involved help because of their time as World Champions.

I don't remember who or where, but someone recently posted a good idea about putting the title on an established star like RVD to re-legitimize it . Then have RVD lose it right before his next departure to someone like Cesaro and give him a solid push with real story lines around the title for 4-6 months.

It seems like since the World title is gone now, the IC title will have more focus and be treated closer to how the World title was before the unification. Not a bad thing, though it seems like the US title may be on its way out.

Wade Barrett sucked the other 3 times he was an IC Champion, and nothing is going to change if he wins it again.
What story could you possibly build around Big E and Barrett in a week anyway? Big E doesn't even have a gimmick. "I've got some bad news for you Big E... Your boobs are so big you're going to have to custom order your bra's off amazon! Bwahahahaha!"

I think no matter who has the title, it simply wont matter anyways, wwe will find a way to make whoever the champion is, flop, I find whenever wwe has a "heel" champion, they decide he has to lose almost every match, or barely survive and look weak, and when a "face" has the title, they let him win, but they lose them in the shuffle, and they start tagging most of their matches instead of having decent singles matches...If wwe doesnt start Making their champs credible, then no matter who has the title, it will mean diddly

WWE needs to care before I do.
It should be treated as a big deal and important no matter who holds it.

Yes I'm glad that they're trying to make the IC Title mean something, but I'm sure a month from now they'll get bored and move on to something else.

RVD should win honestly..... That would build up prestige...
Barrett barely got over at Mania with the foreign crowd but nobody likes barett I mean he has had some good matches the last 2 weeks on Raw but seriously if they give it to him again I will be sick when they could utilize old RVD and let him drop it to Cesaro
