The Intercontinental Cup

[Code-Breaker]

Meanwhile the United States Championship continues to fade into obscurity.

I don't see how they will focus on US championship whilst having 3 different shows based of 3 different titles.

the US title is not WWE created so why should they care and noone should it's a meaningless title since WCW folded the IC/US titles are the same thing they only needed 2 cause they split the brands now there's less emphasis on split brands and more on champs going back and forth..

as for the topic at hand, thats all well and good but Main Event is only a 1hr show and over half of it is made up of RAW rebounds same as Superstars.
so that leaves room for Maybe 2 matches a week, hardly a show to put the IC title back on a pedistal and then what of the people who can't get Main Event for whatever reason, they miss out on the IC title except for PPV's or is the champ still gonna be on RAW defending aswell which defeats the purpose of having a seperate show.

RAW and Smackdown both have more then enough air time to feature the 2nd tier titles, hell they use to have 7 titles featured almost every week on RAW when RAW was only 2hrs and they all had meaningfull fueds and were respectable. Those 6 titles being the IC, WWF, Hardcore, European, Light Heavyweight/Cruiserweight, Womens and the Tag Titles and yeah i'm talking the Attitude/Invasion era. It's certainly doable, they just need to prioritize more and spend less time on drawn out talk segments and recaps of John Cena.

I merged this with the IC Cup thread as it's basically talking about the same thing. This thread was reinstated after it was announced that WWE was probably going to go forward with the IC Cup. It was also stated in the same report that Main Event was going to be used to really deliver focus to the IC title.

As I've said earlier, I'm all for it. The IC Cup in and of itself sounds like a fun idea and using Main Event to put more focus on the IC title, in my opinion, is a great way to make use of the show. I think it adds some stability to the show in that it generally gives it a purpose aside from simply putting on great wrestling action.

If Main Event is really going to be the show for the IC belt, that's bad news for those that are wanting 'prestige to be brought back to the title', unless the title also appears on RAW every week and storylines are progressed on RAW.

That's good news about the IC Cup, but again, it needs to be heavily promoted on RAW, the show that has the most viewers, for it to mean anything for the belt....because if not, you'll have the small percentage of the IWC saying how 'the exposure has brought back prestige to the belt', while your average fan won't be able to tell you who is the current IC title holder or who they're feuding with at the time.
