Either MNM or Matt will run-in is my guess. There is no way they'd give somebody another Warrior push.

I'm getting the feeling Young Master Jeff is getting fed to the big tiger ape tonight...

I'm getting the feeling Young Master Jeff is getting fed to the big tiger ape tonight... What I want to know is the rationale for this match. I think they just realized that Jeff's fought Show and Umaga, and I guess they figured "ah hell with it let's complete the giant person/monster heel trifecta" And while I do want to see the reaction that would occur from Khali winning the title with only one move (1 less than it took for Warrior to beat HTM), I'm just not going to pretend i support the concept in any way. Because this idea is...stupid. stupid. stupid.

I think giving the IC title to an unstoppable monster (as long as he defends it), could help the belt gain credibility. Then when Khali lost the belt, it would actually mean something

I can't believe they are actually going through with this! From a kayfabe standpoint, Jeff doesn't stand a chance!

Then when Khali lost the belt, it would actually mean something Ok, a belt stops meaning something when it stops being defended (like the cruiserweight title). The IC title was in what is arguably one of the better feuds of 2006, and I don't see why people just think it's lost all credibility.

I didn't say it lost all credibility, but the belt used to be a big thing (not that long ago actually), but thn it got tainted when Carlito won it. He rarely defended it, same with Ric Flair, and Shelton/RVDs reigns did nothing for the belt. While Nitro/Jeff had a good feud, the belt was really just there (though i think both did a decent job in making it look better). I just think giving Khali the belt will help even more. Sure, he's not a good wrestler by any stretch of the imagination, but you've built him up as a monster (and he looks the part). If you have hm destroy everybody in his path while he's champion, it will actually mean something when he loses the title. The crowd will go insane.

If you have hm destroy everybody in his path while he's champion, it will actually mean something when he loses the title. The crowd will go insane. One problem, they tried this before, it didn't work. The Ultimate Warrior (hell he only has like 1 more move than Khali does) did similar with his IC reign, and then when he lost it to Rick Rude, he destroyed Rude in the rematches. So when Warrior won the world title, they still had no credible challengers, and Rude was the only one partially credible and he got destroyed predictably anyway. the WWE doesn't know how to do this kind of angle right, so I say forget it. And I'm not against this just because Jeff is the IC Champ. It could be anybody, even Orton or Test, and I wouldn't put Khali over them. It could be RENE F'N DUPREE and I wouldn't let Khali beat him for a title.

If there's no interference, Khali's gonna win the belt with 2 moves. And that makes sense only from a kayfabe standpoint... And maybe not even from there.
Khali is huge, why isn't he going after Cena and his WWW Title? We're not supposed to think Hardy is even in his league, so it's pretty lame if Khali wins the IC title...
Where to go from there?

Oh my god please let this happen! 1) Khali would be really sweet as ic champ
2) Since Jeff loses the title he and Matt can take out RRKO for the tag belts.

Khali should be nowhere near the title. Actually, he should be nowhere near a ring, but that's another rant.

Remember when they wanted to build Flair up for his fued with Triple H? What did they do? Gave him the IC title.
I'm pretty sure they are building Khali to face Hogan at Wrestlemania, so I'm thinking this is another way they are going to get him some more attention and build.
Thank God too. You know you don't care for someone when you want THE GREAT KHALI to beat them for a belt.

You know you don't care for someone when you want THE GREAT KHALI to beat them for a belt. And you know you don't care for the Great Khali when you'd rather even Rene Dupree or Test beat Jeff for the IC title, nevermind they're on a different promotion.
