In my opinion, the IC title is, or was better then the World Title. There were more matches for it, and were done by many upper level mid-carders who were just shy of the main-event. Usually the IC feuds were well done, E.G Austin/Rock Rock/HHH Jericho/Benoit. The World Title feuds tend to be less...agressive as the title is defended roughly once every 30 days or so at a PPV, and you could usually tell who would win it. With the IC title it didn't have the fame or prestige of the World Title, But it had credibility and with it many wrestlers went on to win the world title. It gave wrestlers a look from the top, but not under the spotlight, so they wouldn't get stagefright when they did get the World Title, and have the responsibility of being at the top of the company. It seems nowadays the title is meaningless, and is just something the writers add to some wrestlers to make them stand out a bit more. there used to be a time I would keep track of each champ (World, IC, Tag,European, Light Heavyweight/Cruiserweight, Womans, and Hardcore) Now with 3 of them gone, 2 tags that are uninteresting, womans totally retarded, and cruiserweight being buried. Titles other then the World Titles seem to be so pointless.
