Totally ok with this feud, to have Miz beat someone clean for once But having Darren as IC champ instead of Owens/Sami/Cesaro? Bwahahahahahhahahahahaha I am bored of anything Owens would be doing with it. He had plenty of time with the belt. Sami or Cesaro, though, I'd be alright with. I think I'd know how I felt about it when it happened, in regards to Darren. I thought for a moment, "Would he be the first-" before I realized, oh, duh, Patterson. Who was the first IC champion, period. |

In any case, Darren would be the first open one, Patterson was closeted at the time. |

Pedro would lose, then regain, the title from Muraco. Pedro was the first 2-time champ. |

The whole Young gimmick right now is that he wins through dumb luck and celebrates with Backlund. Him beating the Miz by completely lucky means frees the Miz up to move to the main event scene which is something he has earned and is possible with shallow rosters

Love Miz, but he's been IC Champ long enough. The Title will be fine on Darren as long as he gets to keep it for two or three months. Plus seeing Backlund celebrate is always amazing.

If he wins, and Dean loses that leaves Smackdownw ith the........ ? Title? Ryder will bust out the Internet Title...and still be laughed at. Be a neat situation in realty-fabe though, maybe Bryan reaches out to his friend William Regal to bring the NXT Titles to Smackdown? John Cena vs. Randy Orton for the NXT Championship. |

I'd welcome Braun Stroman as IC Champ over The Miz, especially his half-baked "Hollywood" gimmick.

I really want him to win it. I've always liked him well enough. If he doesn't win I think the whole gimmick slides into the background and fades away, and I love having Backlund around so I don't want that to happen.

Darren's been great and, the del Rio match aside which I wouldn't squarely put on Darren, his run since his return has connected with audiences. Put the strap on him, it won't hurt Miz and frees Miz up, and then gives us the chance to build a mid-card and an upper-mid card on the brand.

Him beating the Miz by completely lucky means frees the Miz up to move to the main event scene which is something he has earned and is possible with shallow rosters I do think Miz belongs in he main event scene, but at the same time, I think it would bury the IC Title if creative were all like "Now that there are two world titles again, 'real Stars' like Miz don't need this piece of crap anymore. Here you scrubs can play with this now." Darren winning would just undo all the work that "top" stars like Miz, Owens, Ryback, Bryan, and even Barrett despite him jobbing hard with the belt, put into it. |

I'd be fine with it but I don't want it to happen. Miz is that dude. Let him keep the strap.

Miz's character doesn't really need the IC belt, nor has he done anything for it, or it for him this go 'round. If anything, it's more of a prop to him than it would be to someone else who was booked around it mattering to them.
There's been nothing in this 'run' by Miz that has made the IC belt itself matter one whit. So him continuing to hold it will only continue to do nothing for it.

I think it means a lot for the IC Title that Miz is actually holding it. If he didn't have the belt, he'd be the guy pinning the IC Champ in a non Title match to show us how intense and focused he is before they feed him to Cena or the Shield boys or while he "waits his turn" for a world title run. |

So him continuing to hold it will only continue to do nothing for it. the damn thing was red hot with that 4 way ic title match... that the Miz won... and disappeared for over a month cooling it off and making me forget who even held it... and he hasn't really done anything since he's come back to make it matter either. Don't get me wrong at the time I was fine with Miz retaining there but he has actively harmed it since then. So I'd be 100% behind dropping it to Darren and solidify this character change. |
