THE INTERCONTINENTAL & US CHAMPIONSHIP.......SECOND FIDDLE?

unlike the good old wcw (which was by far my favourite promotion), wwe has not used their us & intercon title very often recently. yeah, matt hardy had just won the us champion but how long did it took for the title to change hand. u might say mvp is a good wrestler by beating others to regain the title but he fought with other wrestlers maybe once in 3 months time. this proves that the title has no significant to the wwe wrestlers cause they never challenge the champ not like the wwe champion n the world heavyweight title. think about it, when was the last time anyone challenge the ex us champ mvp, before the matt hardy does.

in the much-loved wcw, the us title is just as important as the heavyweight title. to prove it, the title is challenged on almost every ppv unlike the wwe. and some of the title holders went on to do great things in the biz like booker t and bill goldberg. the title was used as a platform 2 elevate a wrestlers career but still contained the value of gold. the us title now is just second fiddle compared to the world heavyweight champion.

another reason why the us champion was used more often in the wcw is because of the angle/story behind every title match. every us title match has a wonderful rivalry behind it. who can forget the best-of-seven match between chris benoit (rip) and booker t for the us title. the match was phenomenal but the rivalry is just as good. again, when was the last time u remembered any amazing rivalry for the us champion in the wwe?

as for the intercon title, the glory of the intercon title in the attitude era, now seemed like a distant memory. gone are the days where it was just as important as the wwe title itself. now, it is just a plain silverware wrestlers carry around their waist. i dont get the point of giving jericho the title but he is not defending it on a regular basis.

if i am not mistaken, wwe will have the 'night of champions' ppv in july. all i am hoping for is the us & intercon title match on that ppv be made into an amazing match with an awesome rivalry and a great stripulation. might i suggest to make a 4 men or maybe even a 6 men elimination style battle royale match for the titles. if not, make it a ladder match or hell in the cell match 2 make it more enjoyable.

so, i hope the wwe would use both the us and the intercon title more often after this.
