[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 950345, member: 9298"] anyone who thinks booker should win the IC title hasnt been paying attention to wrestling at all the past 20 years. the ic title is the stepping stone on the way up. or the glass ceiling for the non-heavyweight ittle contenders. it is NOT supposed to be won or even fought for by real main event contenders. jericho, booker, and kane should never have been in the ic battle royale in the first place. they are MAIN EVENTERS. this title is supposed to make mid-carders LOOK GOOD. instead of using it to get Christian over with the fans and show that hes not the marty jannetty of him and edge... they have made booker and everyone else in the wwe make him look like a chump...if played correctly, christian as the new people's champ would have worked. instead we get this mess. nash and flair and michaels just need to go. theyre taking up screen time for no good reason. HHH is stale, but at this point only he or booker is a viable champion on Raw. Goldberg was boring in WCW and even worse now. A signing of desperation and ineptitude on par with the signing of Steiner. the PPV was awful not just because every match ended like it should have, not because most of them could only end ONE WAY, but because they all ended in the most boring/stupid way possible. even something simple like putting the tag titles on La Resistance so that the APA could come back and feud with them is messed up, by having the APA show up on Smackdown to help Taker fight off the FBI. Kane and RVD break-up without Kane even chokeslamming RVD. Christian doesnt look strong in his match and cheat to win, but looks like a complete wimp, tries to get counted out on purpose, and when the ref says no, he gets dqed on purpose and the ref lets it stand. Michaels and Flair wrestle a too-short match with a screwjob ending as if they cant have a clean win one or the other. I'm pretty sure the fans wont suddenly think one of these guys SUCKS if he loses to the other cleanly. test finally is showing some personality....so he loses so a guy who cant wrestle OR talk can get a win. and jericho-goldberg would have sooo been helped by a jericho win. (and given the feud a good reason to continue) instead, goldberg wins, and the feud continues ANYWAY??? HUH? please note the GOLDBERG SUCKS chants during the match. some people still like this guy, but more hate him. and the redneck triathalon never ended. it went on and on and on... and the mae young thing was so obvious it hurt. this ppv sucked smackdown has many better wrestlers. but currently i dont even have any high hopes for smackdowns ppv next month. all the big old guys are still getting pushes. and all the young new guys are showing signs of greatness and being pushed all wrong. i know that kurt angles U SUCKs are different than other wrestlers. i know that people boo kurt but really like to watch him. so do most smart people. did they really need to make him a good-guy to explain this to us? somewhere in the last few months the writers on both shows have once again started treating us like we're all idiots. and its sad.
