Yea i don't think it would work for HBK...I've always seen the IC title as wrestlers not quite at there prime...and well as many of you can tell...HBK is just a "little" past his prime...but Kennedy is perfect for the ic title...

What!?!
HBK past his prime what are you not smoking!?! If Flair can still wrestle then HBK can still.

Kennedy holding the IC belt after his fued with HBK could and would be a step down IMO. Jeff should lose the belt to Umaga. Kennedy then doesn't want to face HBK and puts Umaga to face him for the belt. HBK wins and the fued keeps going with the IC belt.

Everything I wrote won't happen but is what I would want.

HBK is up the belt. HBK shouldn't feud over the IC title, only the WWE. Heck, by this point, also Mr. Kennedy.
Not Lashley, HBK or Mr. Kennedy should win the IC title. They are up that. IC title is for younger, midcard talent

HBK is past his prime, however his past his prime is still better than 90-95% of the other guys on the roster.

In my opinion they'd have to do a lot with that belt if they wanted to put it on a guy like HBK. I think they would have to start taking it more serious and they'd have to get it off Jeff. Then he'd have to lose it to someone upper mid-card, like a Kennedy. Then I think a Kennedy like figure would have to drop it to another upper mid-card guy. Then I think anHBK type could come out and say that he wants the belt because it would seem like it meant something. Of course this would take a long time, all of this would probably take a serious committment of at least 6 months. The longer, better sustained feuds would help give the belt more credibility.

I remember Flair won the IC belt in 2005 so I wouldn't be hugely surprised if HBK is given a shot. Personally though if he's not in the WWE title hunt i'd rather see him in DX (obviously :p)

Yea well the difference with Flair was that at that point he was in the mid card and I believe the time you were referring to was when Evolution had all 4 belts so it made since to give it to Flair. HBK is still in the ME scene, even if he isn't up for the WWE title every night, which is why I don't think they'd put that strap on him anytime soon.

If you're looking for something DX go on the web site and check out that new video about HD, very funny.

Yeah seen it :p and no when Flair won the title it was at Unforgiven 2005 when he beat Carlito, and then few weeks later he fueded with HHH.
The time Evolution had all the belts Orton was IC champ and Fair and Batista had the tag titles.
Gotta agree with the fact Flair was a midcarder then (ish) and HBK is not.

^You are right, my mistake. I didn't follow nearly as closely during that time as I do now. But as we both agree Flair was in the mid card for the most part then and HBK isn't yet. Now if HBK gets into that Flair type position, I can't see him staying around that long at least not as a wrestler, then he would definitely qualify as an IC contener.

Haha and yes that video was hilarious. I'm happy anytime I can see a DX promo in any capacity.

Kinda juss skimmed through the pages and just wondering. Why is Jericho's named mentioned? Are you trying to make him the all time IC holder? He doesnt need to win the IC title to prove anything, he just needs to be in more profiled feuds. And HBK? He hasn't won an IC title in like 10 years!

Just get Hardy to drop the title to Kennedy then work from there.

Santino should have the IC title. I'd like to see him step him his game. True he's funny and he got decent wrestling skills, but let's see him bring his a-game and put out his best match. If he does succeed, I can see greater things in the future. If not he'll probably be a midcarder for his whole career.
