This is basically the equivalent of bringing back MITB to WM, which is an awesome idea. I'd say make this somewhat of a tradition.

This is clearly Bryan's idea, if he wanted to be the face of Smackdown then I definitely see him pushing for the IC title to look prestigous if he isn't in the main event.

Thoughts on Jericho being a surprise entrant?

So if BNB loses this match, (which he probably will) what does that say about his IC title run? Has he even won a match since getting the title? Just saying that BNB is going to look like a buffoon after this and will need some serious rebuilding. He comes back hot, yet they turn him heel instead of a true tweener, jerk enough to not be a face but he will deliver the Bad News to anyone. And then the losing. I hate the "championship opportunity" for multiple reasons because not does it only make your champs dumb but creative can't apply correct! The story is that Dean wanted a shot. OK. Wade said no. OK. Dean beats former IC champs. OK. But then Wade loses to other who have no bearing to the story and now Dean(who the announcers CHEER for getting a match via illegal means) has to share this with goober like R-Truth who hasn't won a match in how long?

I don't know, to me this just screams "people love the Intercontinental Championship, right? People love ladder matches, right? Well, let's put 6 guys that we have no clue what to do with in a ladder match. That'll shut everyone up."
Seriously, even though this match will probably be good and be the highlight of the show, it still hasn't gotten me more or less interested in WrestleMania.

Bad News Barrett vs Ambrose vs R-truth vs Bryan vs Kofi Kingston vs Big E vs Sid Justice vs Kamala vs Big Show vs Kane vs Dolph Ziggler vs Hall of Famer Drew Carey vs Steve Blackman vs Koko B Ware vs Mickey Rourke vs Steamboat vs a reformed Strike Force vs Aldo Montoya vs Dennis Rodman vs Rugged Ronnie Garvin my sources say that this match is 80% happening unless a last minute change happens and they decide to go in a more logical direction

R-Truth beat BNB a few weeks ago on Smackdown before Fast Lane so it makes sense for him to be in this

Thoughts on Jericho being a surprise entrant? I love the idea. It'd be awesome seeing him in there with Ziggler, Bryan, Ambrose, etc.

But in a match with Bryan, Barrett, Ziggler and Ambrose, he really gives off a "one of these things is not like the others" vibe (No Racial). He doesn't fit in the match from the perspective of them trying to "elevate" the IC Title.

But Truth does have a history of almost a year of trying to capture the IC Title, he even manged Ziggler at Night of Champions last year while Ziggler was champion. So it makes a lot of sense for him to be there, the title hasn't been anything but an albatross for almost two years for anyone wearing it.

Not sure if anyone saw it on the App last night but an option was for how many people should be in the match and there was an option for the whole roster.

Wait, so they're gonna hang the Andre trophy up there as well? I think it's going to end up being between 6-10 people in this. They have six people in the feud already, and Stardust cut a promo on the App hinting at wanting in. Goldust probably won't be too far behind him because of their feud, and then there's Sheamus as a possibility as well.

Any more and the ring is gonna be too clustered to be anything special.

Nice to see them using a lot of their better talents in an IC title match, but yeah, it does feel too cobbled together.
I guess a person's excitement level for this match should correlate roughly with how confident that person is that WWE will book the title well and try to legitimately rehabilitate it post-WM.

Feels like lazy booking, instead of trying to book some of these guys in entertaining feuds with each other let's just throw them all together in a ladder match.
Why not build to a proper Bryan vs Barrett match?

Why not build to a proper Bryan vs Barrett match? That still leaves other deserving guys with nothing to do. I mean, I'm sure Harper and Truth could go into the Battle Royal and no one would be up in arms about that, but what about Ziggler and Ambrose?

It's wayyy too late now but these guys could have developed feuds with one another as well, maybe Ziggler could have been involved in a triple threat with Barrett/Bryan and Ambrose feuds with Harper? It just feels like they either couldn't be bothered or don't have the creative ability to come up with a decent storyline for any of them. I'm sure the match will be decent still but I think it's crazy to not have Daniel Bryan in a 'proper' match at WrestleMania.

I dig this match a lot, especially because DB vs DZ is part of it, and we'll get to see that throughout. And I love Dean Ambrose for the title, and giving Truth a chance. Harper is fun to throw in there, and Barrett at the moment is doing good as the smarmy heel who needs to lose the belt (for real I mean). Should be groovy stuff.
