WrestleMania Do anyone feels that it sucks that The Demon Balor is going to be used against Lashley and wasn't against Lesnar

[Kasumi]

But a Royal Rumble

That is how you do it!

Heck yeah!

 

[Crash]

Because right now there is not point in doing this at all except bring out the most talent out at once for the payroll.

 

[Redboy123@]

If Balor was in the Battle Royal then he definitely shouldn't be booked to win.

It's bad enough that Lashley is getting buried at mania

Good way to get back on the right topic.

Well to be honest think it's on the same level or lower because look where most of the winners are at

Cesaro in the tag team division when he should have been put in the main event division afterwards

Mojo Rawly mid carder when he should have been IC champion by now

Baron Corbin couldn't get over with the fans even if his life depended on it

A good number these guys haven't gotten far since winning

You're certainly not wrong. The When SNL Was Good Memorial Battle Royal has proven to be a complete waste of time (damn right on Cesaro btw, and remember Big Show winning over Mizdow? LOL) but can someone explain to me the value of the IC Title?


I wasn't watching during the glory days, so I just see mid-card titles as boat anchors. If, like Cena said, you win a championship as a demotion... then that championship shouldn't exist

Nah Sandow was a dog wank professional wrestler. Funny gimmick but it would of been very short sighted of wwe to give him any big win.

Even in recent years the ic title has been around the waist of top teir guys who go on to better things Roman, Seth, Miz, Owens, even Ziggler had an impressive reign. Jobbers don't hold the title anymore. Also the intercontinental championship has literally been the best match on any ppv, along with the uso/new day/bar match. Look at every ppv in the last few years. Ic title match steals the show alot.

Seth ran the show with the belt. Only recently the ic title has dropped down to the US title level. Heel Ambrose and Finn Balor really fucked up the title.

The IC Belt use to be nicknamed the Workhorse belt because it was given to the people who worked their asses of each and every night, or for people who weren't quite yet main event material. As well, it is a fan favorite belt due to the fact the people who have held the belt have been over with the fans.

 

[Redboy123@]

I would say the Ic title is the best booked men's title in wwe.

WWE championship hardly ever main events and is no longer the top title.

Universal title is never on the show.

Tag titles have and will always be undercard belts.

United States title is an absolute joke lol.

Cruiserweight title is irrelevant.

IC title, for the most part, has been booked as a upper mid card belt and that's exactly what it should be.

Balor is gonna hold the title as we go into the summer. Just an inferior Seth Rollins.

It was so weird to see Sandow suck on Impact. That era of Impact was promo-heavy and matches were rushed, that's how they hid EC3 so well. Figure that's the perfect place for him but he couldn't even shine there lol

Seth was the example I was thinking of. While he had a hell of a reign while Lesnar was gone (and I couldn't blame people for saying "scrap the universal and let Lesnar walk, you have a top title right here... this was better though) and it felt like Naito defending the IC Title against another main-event guy while the main event is booked without him. Which... okay.

In storyline I never liked them because having a championship means you're the best. Best wrestler on your brand, best woman on your brand, best tag team, best... guy who's not good enough to main event. One of these things is not like the others. It's always felt like a consolation prize to me, and whenever a promising mid-carder wins a mid-card belt it feels like they become Dolph Ziggler overnight and never escape the midcard. I always look at "Paul Heyman Guy" Cesaro after his big battle royal win when he just won the US Title again and was in the same slot.

As for the great matches, often they could be just as great without the belt. But it is good that WWE has a talented roster.

It's 2019. AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and Seth Rollins are main-eventers. The main-event belt is the workhorse belt lol

Rollins hasn't had a match in the main event yet. Aj has been so disappointing as champ. Can't get a great match with Owens, Nakamura, Joe... What's wrong with you dude?

The workhorse belt is without a doubt the ic belt. WWE title has had piss poor matches in recent years.

They're doing what they can to surround the WWE title with guys know for their workrate. Since Mahal it's been all AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan. All guys most known for their work in other promotions. (Granted that goes for Finn as well, even Lashley). WWE is the land of the indy darlings.

To your point Styles was wrestling a past his prime Joe and a Nakamura not giving a shit for most of his reign but he just hasn't been giving top-notch performances lately. Anyone know why?

But still it's a midcard championship. And it sucks to see guys spinning around the midcard forever after winning it. People bring up how it meant "up and coming Superstar" back in the day,, and that sounds much better.

I still love the idea of an option C type thing for both belts. If you hold it for, say, 4 months, you can trade the title for a shot at the main title. Give the IC title a purpose.

 

[edge4ever]

I thought the early reveal was stupid. I like it when it’s surprising for the most part. Balor getting on the screen and chessely looking like he wanted to make out with Bobby was stupid.

And, yeah, him not using the demon in the biggest match of his life made 0 sense. Lol

Sorry but NO like what has been said on this site before Finn Sux & should be on 205 Live!!! Sorry ?
