I bet he's REALLY gonna miss never getting to defend it.

On a more serious note (wait, I was being serious...), I wish they'd let Big E show his natural personality more. He would be a lot more over.

What Lockard said. If they showed this side of Big E more I would enjoy watching him so much more.

He defended against Sandow at TLC, honestly I really can't remember any other defenses though.

He had 5 defenses in 6 months... vs Axel (rematch), vs Sandow (TLC), vs Fandango (RAW), vs Swagger (EC), vs Ziggler (Main Event)
OH snap! Take that @Lockard23 !

But I agree, if we saw more of this from him it would be awesome. Funny little video.

lol And not a single actual rivalry amongst any of those defenses (unless you count the Axel matches as a 'rivalry.') 99.9% of people likely don't even remember three out of five of those, which just illustrates how little being the IC Champion means these days. I also think it's sad that the Intercontinental Champion, especially considering he's supposed to be the second most important titleholder in the company, gets virtually no mic time to show his personality or talk about what being the champion means to him or at least something.

That video is some funny shit.

You can't teach personality (I'm looking at you, Curtis/Mike/Joe Axel/McGillicutty/Hennig). Unfortunately, WWE too often shows that you can stifle it.

If they let Big E shine his persona more, he could be like a modern day version of Mark Henry's old "Sexual Chocolate" character from the late-90's (i.e. a big black romantic love machine.) They could even show a segment or two backstage of Big E and Henry trading romantic advice as a callback to Henry's old gimmick.

As long as they don't try to do any of the gross out stuff like they did with Henry and Mae young (RIP)

Well, no. Most of that stuff wouldn't pass with the PG rating anyway. Then again, a lot of fun stuff they could do with this type of persona (like seeing a shot of Big E making out with a Diva in the shower) couldn't be done today.

His whole character doesn't have to be Sexual Chocolate 2.0 anyway, just let him show the lighter/comedic aspect of himself that also exhibited parts of his romantic and amorous side as well.

Big E is a funny f**cker. Please use this WWE.
