I dont see why everyone hates Nitro so much...he is really good in the ring. I know his title reign has been really subpar but what do you expect with the way the IC belt has been booked? At least someone other than Carlito or Shelton is competing for the gold. In all honesty I really like Nitro's in ring work and he is passable on the mic. It's best not to think about those things, if you enjoy him, let that be enough. I'm a Hogan mark, but I could care less if people say they hate him or whatever, it's their opinion, no use in fretting too much over it. He's got a good look about him, but that's it, the guy's still relatively green, he came straight from Tough Enough, so he's got a long way to go, and I just think his push is a bit too soon, but that's my view on it. It's kind of my view as well, I see potential, but there isn't much chance for him to show it, especially when Melina is more over than he is. So I think this title reign was too quick and too soon. Plus he needs to regain whatever mic work he had when he was Bischoff's lackey, esp. cause now he talks like the squeaky voiced teen from the Simpsons.

The IC title hasn't meant jack crap since Randy Orton held it Amazing. You go from having Randy Orton as your avatar and sig at one point, to bashing him holding the IC title. Are you high? I just said it hasn't meant anything since he held it....

And he also apparently knows Carlito's weakness is his hair, so if you shooting star chop his hair, he'll sell it and Nitro can pick up the win. Seriously, I see a good future for him, if he starts legitimately winning and if he can work on his skills in OVW for a while.

Well to be fair, Randy was the last person to be able to defend it without cheating every match. Nitro and Melina have made the IC title worth about tree fiddy.

Nitro and Melina have made the IC title worth about tree fiddy. Not to mention that they actually had bigger plans for Orton. Not so much with the likes of Shelton and Carlito.

Randy Orton = Greatest IC champ ever Jeff Hardy = Youngest IC champ ever. Don't really know where I'm going with that just felt I would say that.

Didn't Jeff like hold it 2 weeks before jobbing it back to Trips? yes, but the fact remains that he beat Triple H for it in the first place...or something. besides, the shortest reign was the 10 minutes that Chris Jericho held it for. (More random facts!) So compared to his run Hardy's reign is...phenomenal? ...perspective? Yes. Perspective. It's all perspective. Not really a counter to your opinion or anything, just saying the random fact at random.

Mr. Perfect is the best IC champ. Doesn't really fit in the discussion, but since everyone was weighin in.

^Gotta agree there, Savage had one helluva run, defending against guys like Santana, Haynes, Piper, Steamboat, JYD,Orndorff and other challengers for 14 months was a great feat.
Too bad Steamboat's run ended quick, the only defenses of the belt I knew he had was against Savage in several rematches that weren't on TV, and even culminating in a Cage match in Nassau Coliseum, wish I could've seen those.

No. I'm not an idiot. You, on the other hand, I don't know. I'm not the one making tasteless comments about people's deaths.
