Steamer was using his title reign to eventually become a big deal in WWFtown, too bad the back injury ruined all that.

Jericho only became 23090x IC champion because he had nothing better going for him.

Jericho moves on.

Steamboat only holding the title for a month makes it hard to compare his reign to a guy whom held the belt 329999999999999 times

^I agree. If Steamboat had a longer title reign then maybe they can be compared but as it is Jericho is the right guy to move through as he was the better IC champion.
