Is the United States Championship more valuable than the Intercontinental title right now?

Antonio Cesaro just had a hell of a reign with the United States title, followed up with a fun reign by Kofi, and an awesome win by Dean Ambrose, who's been beating main event caliber talent for the last few months since his debut.

I'm looking at the Intercontinental Title reigns from Big Show's reign until now, and honestly, the Big Show's reign was probably the last one treated as an important title win, being that it was his WrestleMania moment and all.

You had Cody Rhodes, who won when Big Show accidentally stepped through a table, and Cody had one match where he defended the belt in a tuxedo for some reason. But I will give Cody this, he brought back the white strap that made it important... pretty much for his reign only though.

Then Christian won it and to me it felt like a step down for him after having the awesome WHC feud with Orton the previous year, I barley remember this reign.

Then Miz won and he and Kofi had an interesting feud, but nothing that really stood out.

Then Kofi beat Miz so Miz could turn face and Barrett could beat a face for the belt. Kofi to me is the definition of transitional midcard champion. He wins the IC and US belts just to lose them to heels they want to give the belt to, without making another heel lose to em in the process.

Wade won it for the second time from Kofi and I don't remember him doing anything with it except losing it to The Miz at Mania. I think he had a good match with Sheamus on Raw during this period, but I don't think the IC belt was ever even mentioned, and he lost.

The Miz did nothing with his 2nd reign as he lost it right back.

And Wade hasn't done too much with this reign either.

What do yall think?
