So what would you rather do- Bring back the Hardcore title or up the IC title?

The Hardcore title isn't for pushing, it's for the lols. Which it brings on its good days.

Exactly. The Hardcore Title (24/7 rule in-tact) serves as an excellent side storyline from the more important ones (i.e. comic relief). Furthermore - it allows far more wrestlers to get TV time (all at once) on a more consistent basis.

The problem with the IC title nowadays, is that "deadweight" wrestlers often become champs (i.e. people that have had main-event pushes, and have been 'pushed back' to the mid-card level....case in point, Chris Jericho). On the other end of that, wrestlers that are far too below the main-event level (or have no chance of realistically beating a World champ) also hold titles such as the IC and US belt.

For me personally, I think the WWE has too many belts....belts of which that are NOT very unique.

Personally - I'm intrigued at the idea of there being a "triple threat" belt (where every single match with this belt on the line, is in a triple threat match).

Heck - replace the IC title with the "triple threat belt". Have a "fatal four-way" belt as well (similar to the European title from yester-year).
