    Savage held that belt for over a year. He gave it a status it didn’t have before. When I think of that title, I think of him with it. That’s being an icon.

      This is absolutely true....Savage is to the IC title as Hogan is to the world title. Ultimate Warrior is a close second as an IC champ icon.

      Macho Man, started a slew of legendary IC Champs, Perfect, Hart, Michaels, Rude, Honky Tonk Man, Ultimate Warrior, the gateway to the World Title, it all started with Randy Savage.

      Aaron S. Unfortunately that’s what happens when you devalue any title. A title hast mean something in order for people to be invested into care otherwise what’s the sense of watching two people battle of rebel no one cares about and that’s the thing we’ve done past belts around like candy and traded them back and forth left and right And now no one really cares about the intercontinental title
