The only time in history that a secondary title was more important than the world championship in a main promotion.
Starts with Taz feuding with Bammer over it while Shane Douglas was injured. And by the time Taz won the big one they just didn’t have opponents for him.
Belts never meant shit in ECW.

>>21133900The Intercontinental Title used to be the main title on RAW for a whilehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uv2XnCWMqs
>>21133900>t. never watched ecwYou'd know how big of a deal it was to see Mikey Whipwreck or Terry Funk get the main belt if you really were following the show
>>21134004 was meant for >>21133940I fucked up in true ECW shitter fashion
>>21133940>>21134004Taz winning the big oneJerry Lynn unable to take the TV Title from RVD, only to win the big oneWorld Champ Mike Awesome signing with the competition and dropping the belt to WWF Superstar Tazz. Tommy Dreamer then finally winning the World Title only for Justin Credible to steal it out from under himThe Dudleys vs. The EliminatorsRoadkill and Doring winning the beltsI’m leaving out a few but there were plenty of big title moments in ECW.
>>21133900Happens all the time man
>>21134483The moment itself was big. The indy-mudshow tin-belt was just there as an afterthought.
>>21133900Not true>IWGP IC was above the heabyq when Nakamura and Tanahashi were feuding over it>After All In 2023, Christian as TNT champ was more important than the world >Cena as US champion
>>21133900The Intercontinental belt was more important than the Heavyweight belt during Paul's rain of terror, because it was held by people with actual talent, including RVD.
>>21133980That didn’t happen. >>21134558Okada’s reign was bigger, but no one cared about Naito main eventing WK.No.No.>>21134639Not at all. HHH was the top guy.
People cared more for IC champ HBK and, Razor than they did of world champion Bret Hart
>>21134639>>21135786fair to say fans looked more forward to the IC title matches on the card but WWE still always pushed Paul's matches as the most important. fans could care less and sat on their hands during his dogshit matches tho but the company never really cares about the fans. >>21136229not true at all lol
RVD also made the hardcore title the most important secondary title in 2001, he main evented shows holding it, such as No Mercy 2001 when he fought for the WWF title and at Survivor Series where he was part of team alliance.
>>21133900There's like 3 good ECW shows in history
