If you were a promising star on your way up to be a main eventer the US/IC was the belt to prove that you were championship material and worth winning as a stepping stone to the main title (Warrior, Goldberg, Michaels etc). Either that or you were a competent solid workhorse mid card guy and could put on a decent match (or were entertaining enough) and it was a kind of consolation for not being a top guy (Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Razor Ramon, Honky Tonk, Mr Perfect).
The World and WWF belt was always the top prize, the US/IC was the secondary belt but still respectable.
I think that the TV title in the NWA/WCW was just some guaranteed TV time on a weekly basis, a belt one step below the US that became the jobbers belt and Scott Hall threw it in the trash one Nitro.
