We have four NXT Season 1 rookies left on WWE TV. Daniel Bryan has had a nice United States Championship reign. Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel are three time Tag Team Champions. Hell, even Mr. Jennifer Hudson had a one night Tag Title reign. Poor Wade Barrett...the man that won the competition...has yet to taste gold in WWE. It was rumored that several times they were going to put the WWE Title on him during the Nexus angle, but it kept getting nixed last second. What are they doing with Kofi Kingston? Nothing. He's not going to get the World Title anytime soon due to Del Rio looking like he's the man.
Give Barrett an Intercontinental run WWE. The man deserves it.

I would like to see it. They have done almost nothing with Kofi in a while except job to Rio and Barret needs to be built up more for the main event in my opinion and some IC gold would do that. Good idea.
I hate that they barley ever have any storylines built around the midcard titles anymore.
The mid 90s weren't great for WWE but at least they still held the IC Title in high regard giving it to guys like HBK, Bret Hart, and Razor Ramone.

I don't think it'd hurt Kofi in the long run either if he had a feud with Barrett over the IC Title for a few months. Kofi needs a prolonged feud with a great heel and Barrett fits that bill. Feuds with Del Rio and Barrett can only help Kofi as well. Then again, when all is said and one, I bet they don't do anything with Kofi anyways. *shrugs*

I heard they discounted all his merchandise by 50% and haven't put anything new out for him in months.  |

I don't even watch wrestling anymore, and I support this motion.

Barrett is, to be quite frank still way above the IC championship, so for that reason I'm going to say f*** no. Sure he's way lower down the card than he was before WWE decided to kill his push, but he's still above the likes of Kofi.

It would be better than the nothing they have him doing now.

Yes, so long as this means Wade Barrett and Kofi Kingston get something to do.

I think Barrett should feud with Kofi...and Kofi should keep the belt.
Why? Not because I don't think Barrett could be IC champ (Obviously he could, and it'd be fine) but because I'm tired of seeing the belt just forgotten about for 6 months until it's time for someone new to pick it up and then proceed to do nothing with it.

I don't think he is. I know they have pushed him pretty hard winning the first NXT and leading his own stable but he hasn't really accomplished anything yet and has only been on TV for about a year or a little over. |

I don't think Barrett needs it, his character is really above that. I think Cody Rhodes should probably get a run with it at some point this year to prepare him for the main event just like Ziggler last year.

It's funny because I still don't think of Ziggler as a world champion. He is totally going to get lost in the shuffle on RAW and end up like Morrison or DiBiase. |

Big Zeke could get it, but Barrett is way above the IC title.

I support the notion of Barrett being WHC and Jackson being IC to put the Corre over as a mega group...but with Del Rio being a fairly big deal, pretty quick, that'll never come to fruition.

I don't know. I think it would be cool if they decided to pull a Fortune and turn The Corre face and take on a new group lead by Del Rio. |
