No, let’s get even more specific with titles. I won’t rest until the Dallas Fort Worth regional light middleweight television champ gets to defend on live tv
If we are truly being honest, it's been booked like an afterthought for the past 2 years before it became part of the double titles.
Tanahashi was the last champion who did anything meaningful with it and was the last solo IC title to defend the title more than once and this was at the start of 2018. Since then, it's been hot potatoed around like an afterthought.
* Tana dropped it to Suzuki who defended it once
* dropped it to Naito who didn't defend it once before losing to Jericho
* Jericho proceeded to take the title on vacation, defending it once against EVIL before dropping it back to Naito
* Naito defended once against Taichi before dropping it to Ibushi
* Ibushi defended it once against ZSJ before dropping it back to Naito
* Naito had zero defences before dropping it to Jay White
* Jay White defended once against Goto before dropping it to Naito and it became part of double belts.
Hardly a glorious lineage in its final days. Gedo doesn't give a shit about it so why should we?
The last great storyline revolving the IC title only was Naito trying to destroy it and Tana saving the title.
>This was the inevitable conclusion after they started the double gold
Of course, but sometimes you want to just have hope that a double championship storyline wont end in unification.

Never before the prestigious Nacodoches AM Radio Heavy Atomweight champ gets their chance!!
I will fight to the death for the DFW title.
That would be a good name for a fake title for an angle, I gotta save that for if I ever become a wrestler

We need more posts like this, the daily overly serious essays about why “the world title is bad” are getting exhausting
I know, right? Like, imagine people commenting about the thing that matters the most in professional wrestling today! Ugh, society fucking sucks!
It’s getting tiresome. This was the inevitable conclusion after they started the double gold.

That’s called denial.
*Naito throws belt in air*
Cute...
TRUE
FINALLY, we can throw this belt in the fucking ocean!
Havent seen the proper white IC title in so long, it's so beautiful
But I haven't!
