    Man, why not build Rusev up to take on Lesnar?

      I like the idea of giving the US and IC titles to some of the main event guys to elevate them. Makes it seem more like a stepping stone to the main event picture which IMO those titles should be.

          You don't think it's a lot better now? Two years ago it was on the Pre show. The year before that, Big Show and Cody got 5 minutes. This year, it's heavily promoted match with some of the most popular guys in the company, including 3 guys who have main evented in the last 5 ppvs.

            I'm confused as well. This is the most that either belt has been sought after in ages.

              Not sure I agree with Bryan winning the IC belt tbh. Ambrose needs to finally get pushed, unless they have bigger plans, which I doubt.

                Only thing I don't like about the above scenario is Cena going over Rusev, I agree they should build Rusev up big time.

                  You say that now and then we'll be right back to complaining about wanting something different and that they made a mistake taking the belt off Brock and giving it to the names you mentioned.

                    If anyone thinks the WWE hasn't done a nice job of elevating the IC title and to a degree the US title... They're not paying attention.

                      The United States Championship hasn't been elevated at all. If it was about the championship, maybe.. but at this point, it has absolutely nothing to do with the championship, just country vs country.

                        Right because we're all caring about those belts like we did in the glory days.

                        Please stop with this "being different for the sake of being different than everyone else on here" schtick because people still don't give a damn about who has either belts. Like bigboy said, Cena/Rusev is more about country vs country than it is about Cena wanting to be the greatest US Champion in its history.

                          Not being different for the sake of being different, I'm just less inclined to bitch and moan as much as a lot of people. More of a silver lining kinda guy.

                          I think just like the attitude era there's a lot of looking at the IC title through Rose colored glasses. I'd say the IC title over the last....7-8 months maybe has been booked pretty well with a nice emphasis placed on it. It got derailed a bit when Barrett won it but they've rebounded nicely with this very entertaining feud. Certainly it has just as much importance and entertainment right now then at any time during Shamrocks reign, or the Ultimate Warrior/Herculeus feud, hell it's just as good as any if the Honkey Tonk/Beefcake feuds.

                            The past few years the feuds for the IC title haven't been as entertaining as HBK vs Razor Ramon, or Brett Hart vs Bulldog, or Triple H vs The Rock... or etc etc

                              You're forgetting the classic Chyna/Jeff Jarrett, Godfather, Val Venis Dlo brown era. Let's not act like the IC title has always been treated as a stepping stone for future world champs. Back in that era King of the Ring was more of that. Now MITB has that role.

                                The last Intercontinental Championship match I actually cared about was HHH vs The Rock in 1998. I think the attitude era and the following years kind of ruined the championship with the shotgun booking and constant revolving door of champions. (opinion alert) It became a joke from 1999 until it was unified and I don't think the prestige was ever recovered.


                                Plus, everything seems so gimmicky now. Any ladder, TLC, HiaC matches are just spot fests and cage matches serve no purpose. I think the emphasis on sports "entertainment" has ruined a lot of things that were once considered prestigious in the past.
