Ambrose passively defended the IC title... I think.  It was Reigns who never had one title defence after he took the U.S. title.  His only defence was dropping it to Jericho... months after he won it...  30 day clause needs to come back.

I got curious so I looked it up.  Ambrose, when he was with the Shield, held the US belt for 351 days, during which he defended it 14 times.  So, basically, an average of once a month.  Not great, not bad.  However, that included a 4 month stretch where he didn't defend it at all, which is terrible.

It really would be nice to see them enforce that rule on a consistent basis.  In the old days, they always made a big deal of forcing the heel to defend.

Yeah I think rules need to come back.  That and timeouts.  I think it's epic when two wrestlers can't beat each other.
