Of course it has. The IC title used to be great, but it's absolute crap in today's wrestling.

The IC belt has been in a state of rebuild for awhile nw that is giving back some meaning. Jeff HArdy had a long run that was supposed to turn into a World title run...I see Y2J holding that belt for awhile and then getting another run with the belt.

I also think MVP has done great as US Champion!

Thats a damn shame that goon is running around calling himself the US Champion. Thats an NWA title! The greatest have held that title!

Dusty Rhodes, Lex Luger, Nikita Koloff, Magnum TA, Barry Windham, Ric Flair...that belt belongs in the NWA. I hate wrestling now. WWE has killed the whole sport.

I liked the HonkyTonk Man. And to think he was created just because Vince couldnt get Jerry Lawler. He actually wound up to be pretty good. And he did beat Steamboat for the belt.

Wow I didnt know that piece of history. Good to know.

I loved when Honky Tonky would bash everyone over the head with his guitar.

I wonder...did he invent the loaded guitar filled with powder or was that Jeff Jarrett? It might have even been the Freebirds now that I think about it...
