Seems WWE is hinting at that, with Regal's Raw debut being him eyeing Maria, and refusing to shake Santino's hand. Oh yeah, but it needed more elaboration. Not everyone at home remembers Regal being the IC champion. Sadly, many folks only remember him as the British guy with Eugene the Retard. Its like that proposal I typed out at another thread. Have Santino defend his belt on RAW, with Regal as Special Guest Analyst because of his "IC Championship experience" and basically he slams Santino as a greenhorn meatball hack who's title victory makes the belt look bad, after guys like Regal and others fought YEARS to win the belt. Its a start at least....with the ruthless, more experienced Regal (and the brass knuckles return dammit!) beating Santino, but Santino making a rebound.... Or not. Where's Swarm to call me a smark?

Regal doesn't need to do much to remind us he's badass. Just give him one match, and a soon to be batter opponent.
Ever see his match with Paul London? By the end of it, you want the ref to just ring the bell.
Still, getting in Santino's face would be great to see.

So simple, so awesome, so old school.

I think it was an awesome midcard belt. I always just thought it was cool.

Nice looking belt, but pointless title. If they needed another midcard title, the "WWE Television Championship" would have made more sense. I never really thought of it as anything to do with Europe. I saw it more as the WWE equivelant to the WCW Television title. I mean, how many non-Americans held the US title(I'm not going to go through all the champ right now)?

Non-Americans to win the U.S. title: Jimmy Snuka (Fijian) Roddy Piper (Canadian) Kensuke Sasaki (Japanese) Konnan (Cuban) Bret Hart (Canadian) Chris Benoit (Canadian) Lance Storm (Canadian) Yoshihiro Taijiri (Japanese) Edge (Canadian) Carlito Colon (Puerto Rican) Fit Finlay (Norhern Irish) I believe that Snuka, Piper and Konnan all have U.S. citizenship though, and I know that Carlito does, since Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States. Of course the main difference between the U.S. title being held by foreigners, is that all of them lived, worked and regularly defended their title in the U.S. The same can't be said for the guys holding the Euro title.
