Finlay I don't care for either. However, looking at JBL, Carlito, Benoit, Kennedy and Booker T you've probably got a point. But at the same time an almost equal, if not better bunch of wrestlers have held the IC belt: Edge, Randy Orton, Christian, Ric Flair, Shelton Benjamin, Johnny Nitro, Santino Marella, Jeff Hardy and Umaga and in the short history of the ECW belt: CM Punk, Big Show, Rob Van Dam, and John Morrison So there's nothing particularly special about the US championship. To make matters worse it has been brought out of retirement for no other reason than to occupy the same role as the IC title. Meanwhile, ECW needs a title, otherwise it would just be Heat with a different name.

Ok, first of all...the ECW belt? What the fuck are you smoking??? There hasn't been an ECW Title since Rhino held it in the original ECW.

Second of all, John Cena with the US Belt was far better than once he got to MAin Events. When he was a white rapper he was kind of annoying, but most people really liked it...when he was a former white rapper turned movie maker mugging for the camera with Marine salutes...THAT'S when his shitness took a turn for the worst. Bobby Lashley sucks anus, but again, his reign was handeled well. That's the biggest thing, look at how their reigns where handled. Plus, think of how many times the US Champ was involved with Main Event feuds compared to how many times the IC Champ has been...I can't really think of one to be honest. There really hasn't been a time when I didn't know who the US Champ was...the IC Belt (which by the way, I don't know why you used as an example against the US Belt since I am officially recognizing both) has been kind of meaninglessly thrown around I feel. No real feuds, and really, since the US Belt has been introduced back in 2003...most everyone who's won it has made a huge leap upwards in their career, not so for the IC Belt (post 2004 or so). It just seems the last 3 years has been complete waste...but never the less, I still recognize and respect the IC Title as it has done nothing to disgrace itself in recent years.
