So I am the only one pulling for show here? It's twofold really. I am kind of a big show fan, plus I'd like to see Cody drafted to Raw and put in the main event picture. With punk holding the title I don't see nearly enough credible heels to keep Monday nights interesting.

The second part of that makes sense, but he doesn't need to lose to Show or lose the IC title period for that to happen. Although I would like to see him on Raw in a program with some of the top tier talent over there.

If he faced top tier talent then wouldn't he need to lose the IC title first. I mean what, he's gonna pull an Ultimate Warrior

I just said he didn't need to lose the IC Title. My 'however' portion was regarding just going to Raw.

Well as of now the main focus is wrestlemania. So let's hope that Cody Rhodes continues his reign as champion while the big show suffers another wrestlemania lost

If WWE puts the title on big show, that'd be so stupid. He doesn't need it at this point. Cody needs it. After making fun of big shows WM record, he'd look even worse losing. I agree with you Professor, he needs to hold on to the strap for another six to seven months to make it look good again. Hell maybe he will break honky tonk man's record. I'd be ok with that he's the only one in WWE that could pull it off. If big show wins that will be just terrible.


Yeah the thing is that WWE won't put the U.S. Title on a main eventer like Jericho.

They sure as hell had no problem putting the IC title on him in 09.

Technically they are but the way WWE treats the two, the IC Title is higher
I wouldn't go that far I would say its more who was pushed higher at the time I could easily show you ppv cards from WWE where the US Title was featured after the I.C. Title . And Also to just throw in it there I can you where the women's title trumped 6 of 8 matches on the card.

Proving my point is who is being pushed .

WWE always uses the women's match high on the card to give the fans a break before the main event. Here's how the last three matches of wrestlemania X8 went.

The Rock vs Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Jazz vs Trish Stratus vs Lita for the women's championship
Triple H vs Chris Jericho for the WWF Undisputed Championship


Obviously Trish Stratus vs Lita vs Jazz wasn't a bigger match than the rock vs hulk hogan. It was just a filler

And?
This was about the IC and US title . If you spent this time on your btb Id have something to read lol .

But anyway I said my piece the US Title is as significant as the IC if not more be at times by its place on the card.
and this is from 2011 not 2008.

As noted earlier here on the website, The Undertaker underwent both shoulder and hip surgeries over the past year while away from WWE. He was estimated as being much lighter than he had been before when appearing on Raw two weeks ago (around the 275-280 pound range).

Discussion as to if this will be his last year remains up the air as WWE officials remain optimistic although how he holds up at Wrestlemania 28 will be a strong indication.

As much as I have liked Undertaker throughout the years, he really needs to call it a career after this WM before he isn't able to walk or even move.
