Many fans have likely noticed that [COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]WWE's[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] Intercontinental championship has been put on the back-burner and really isn't used for major angles as of late. An example of this was Kofi Kingston's match against Alberto Del Rio at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. WWE went with a non-title match and the commentators basically ignored it and joked around. We noted prior to the [COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]PPV[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] that there was talk of putting the IC title on the line and then doing a 'champion vs. champion' match at [COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important][COLOR=#003399 ! important][FONT=inherit ! important]WrestleMania[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] between Edge and Del Rio but that obviously didn't happen.

I'd also like to note that Kofi Kingston has not won a match since January 25th when he and Rey beat Kane and ADR. Hasn't won a singles match since January 11th when he defeated Jack Swagger.

MITB is usually around so not surprised nothing is going on with the belt. Plus SD isn't exactly the best booked show.

Because its my section and I can put it wherever I want to. (Or because this is where it belongs)

So it's news that a rumour didn't happen? It's obvious it didn't happen because it didn't fucking happen. We don't need a report to tell us.

Great Dirtsheet reporting. Maybe i'll submit one about the US title too seen as though they're doing nothing with that either.

Sad, really.

I remember the wars Benoit, Angle & Jericho had over it. Made the belt look presigious. I liked it when it was used as a stepping stone to main events, seems like its been reduced to a prop now.
