-Lance Storm posted his latest round of Q&A on his website last week. One reader asked him about making the Intercontinental Title seem like a big deal again. "Making the IC Title a big thing again is easy," Storm responded. "All you have to do is feature the title program heavily on TV and PPV and put top level guys in those programs, and do this long term. They’ve actually just started doing this on SD. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho for the IC Title on PPV is a great program and SD as a whole has been awesome since the draft. It’s my favourite wrestling program right now."
