The belt has become kind of a joke IMO. Bret said on his dvd that they routinley put the IC belt on the greatest worker, and that it used to mean something. Look at all the legends that held it Steamboat, Savage, Bret, Hennig, Hall the list goes on. Some of the greatest matches were for that belt; Savage v Steamboat, Ladder match at WM10, Rude v Warrior.

So true. Back then, you knew that the guy who was getting the IC belt, was on his way to the top. Call it a warm up, for the World title. Now-a-days.... :-\
He's right, it was often held by the best workers.

every belt is like that now. The tag title are worthless now too. They throw together two random guys give them the belts then break them up a week later. Even the teams that are real tag teams they split up when they run out of ideas for them. Not every team should stay together forever, but i'd like some continuity.
