What's the point of Santino Marella bringing the Honk-A-Meter up every week if he's never going to defend the Intercontinental title? Of course he's going to continue being champion if he never defends it. I wish the title would've been on the line tonight so Batista would be the new champion and put an end to this crap.
I think the IC (and US titles) should be used as TV titles - i.e. Defended EVERY week.
This would be beneficial for 3 reasons:
1. Brings a little prestige back to the damn things (seeing as they no longer seem to have room for them on PPV for the majority of the year).
2. The fans would love it - Why would you miss Raw or SD if you thought the title was likely to change hands any week?
3. It'd aid the development of the skills of those midcard title-holders whom appear to eventually ME-bound.
"Hell no" to the idea of Batista winning it tho'.... That won't help one bit.

D-Generation X tonight for OMG...ONE NIGHT ONLY
Yup! Of course, last time they teamed up it was for ONE NIGHT ONLY!!! But we're not supposed to remember that >_>
In the wider world of entertainment "one night only" generally means along the lines of "not night after night" or "not week after week"... It refers to a lack of regularity..... NOT "the last night EVER"...
When (e.g.) Metallica concert promo says "one night only" it doesn't mean they're never playing another gig, nor does it it imply as much.
Now now, Soulpower, it's important to recycle gimmicks! We must all do our part in the Future Friendly program. If we all do our part, we can build a greener tomorrow! :shifty:
Oh please.... C'mon.... Agreed, it's hardly shocking that HBK's 'mystery partner' would be HHH, but how the hell is that recycling a gimmick.
If anything it's THE SAME gimmick... HHH & HBK are life-long firends that had a fued and have since been cool again for many years.
His long term friend comes out to help him when he needs a partner... Would you have clapped, cheered and praised WWEs creativity if they'd have just brough out some random midcard face instead? : pfffffffffffffffff : ....I doubt it!
