Should The Miz Drop The IC Title To Kofi?

[bittermang]

Yes, but only after a long feud full of wrestling with plots centering around respect. "You're just a spot monkey." "You're a reality show crybaby." "This belt says I'm not. Where's your belt? Oh, lost it again?" *fight fight fight*

Those two can make that belt look good, and they don't even need a ladder to do it. Just let'em go.

I think Kofi should eventually get the title but, the feud is essentially a week old, I'd rather see them both feud for the title until Survivor Series so they can both help each other out. Think about it, Kofi is incredible in the ring and would make The Miz look great for a month but, The Miz is a natural on the mic (I won't comment on how good he is or anything like that but, he's comfortable in any case.) and therefore could help Kofi look stronger and develop in that area. If the feud is dragged out it will keep both of these guys in the spotlight for a long time and get them both more crowd response over time and very likely them help them develop individually too. However, what happens to these two after this feud? Or perhaps more importantly what happens if these to do not feud?

I hnow its my first time on here but when on the wrestlezone website time to time for years know. I think this is a great tool for true pro wrestling fans. I think the miz shouldnt lose the title to kingston. I mean their both great in ring wrestles. I just think that miz is better on the mic and is a little better in the ring to.

For Kofi to be relevant back in the WWE's and fans eyes, Kofi needs to win this title again. The Miz's popularity to me seems as if it's fading by the day. Maybe that's just me. Kofi is an outstanding athlete and very capable of entertaining just about any average WWE fan. I think if he does win the title, he should possibly get a push. I just think he's too talented in the ring not to be. Being the mid-card isn't a slap in the face, for many, it's a start to on the way up. Would Kofi bring some prestige to the title? I would hope so. I think the Miz is annoying and the WWE has enough egotistical wrestlers on the roster (CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler, Damien Sandow, Curt Hawkins, PrimeTime Players...etc.) I would like to think Kofi will put off the upset on the next WWE Main Event.

I've never been a big fan of Kofi Kingston and I feel as though WWE just hands him title reigns. How often is it that we see Kofi without some kind of title? Not often enough. I don't think he should go over The Miz yet. Establish a legit feud and then have him go over the Miz after a few unsuccessful attempts. It's too soon IMO because Kofi JUST left the tag team scene

I dont think Kofi will win it, if anything I see Ryder back in the picture.

Anybody else notice that Ryder has been hitting the roids lately. Way more muscular in the back and traps. All over for that matter. Id say 10lbs of muscle. Same with Heath Slater. He looks pretty juiced up now. His nipples are swollen.

Maybe if Kofi hit the juice like the rest of the guys, but other wise I say no.

If they let Kofi do what he did on Monday consistently then I think they should give him another chance with the IC title. Every time Kofi gets some momentum they seem to pull the rug out from under him. Let him talk, give him interview time, and give him consistent time to defend the belt in decent feuds and I think he could be a great face IC champ.

At first I was against it, due to Kofi needing to escape midcard hell, but now it looks better and better every time. First off, forget Team Hell No for a second: Kofi deserves mad credit for the tag division coming back. Even though Air Boom flopped, his reign with Truth really re-established the titles as something of merit, and if it wasn't for him, they'd be dead travel weight for Primo and Epico. If they booked him as the IC champ the way they did as the Tag champ, he'd get his shine and the IC title can regain some steam since Cody dropped it. As for Miz, his stock is falling, and it's dragging the title with it. He doesn't need it, and he needs to either get that bounce-back program or stay announcing. Maybe the title doesn't have to switch hands at Main Event, but it needs to switch at some point.

I'm going to say no, and I like Kofi. In fact I like Kofi Kingston so much, that I think he should skip right over any of those titles. Over the last week or so, I have for whatever reason felt like Kofi Kingston should already be in the world title picture. I think that Kofi should be in the World Heavy Weight title picture. Maybe he's not ready for a run yet, but I think he is definitely a low tier main eventer. I thought Kofi was spoiling away down in the tag team division, and I'm glad that he is finally going to get out. But before that he was trapped in the mid card.

Kofi Kingston has won three tag team championships, three intercontinental championships, and two United States championships. He has conquered the mid card already, and it's time to move on. Some people may think that because he was in the tag team division, he was at a low level. But Kofi in reality has been just a level below the main events for awhile in my opinion, and I think he should finally come up and have another big team feud. So I think Kofi should enter a feud with Del Rio. He can finally get started with another one on one singles feud, and Del Rio would be perfect for the job. Of course I would love to see Kingston have a world title run, but I can't see it going over from Sheamus to Kofi, especially because of how hot Sheamus is. If anything I think someone would have to be used as a bridge for a month or two, and have Sheamus drop it to a heel, who would then drop it to Kofi. They could always have Sheamus be forced to vacate it for whatever storyline reason, or maybe even a kayfabe injury. I could also see Kofi win it off of Sheamus in a championship scramble match.

But talking about a world title run for Kofi Kingston is a little bit of a stretch for the time being. I'd like to see it happen, but it sadly won't anytime soon. So starting things off with some feuds with bigger names is a great way to start, and I personally think that is what Kofi should do for now. But if he was to have one more title run, I wouldn't mind that either. Just as long as Kofi and Miz actually feud, and don't just battle over the title. I wouldn't even mind seeing it as a way to change back the belt appearance, because I personally don't like it. So one last title run wouldn't be bad, just as long as Kofi actually feuds one on one with The Miz. I think those two could work well together, and like Del Rio, Miz would be a good way to start. I also don't want to see Kofi hold it long, we don't want him lingering in the main events again. So I'd prefer Kofi just skip this stage and go right to the main event picture, because frankly I think he's ready to do it.

Some of the points made by the OP and others is the lack of a good babyface run, but what about actually turn The Miz a babyface? It's obvious that despite him being pretty much a guy that people make fun on the locker room, he is also very talented specially in the microphone and it comes out to personal tastes to choose between him and the other two great talkers in CM Punk and John Cena.

I think that Miz is the best talker on the roster, he doesn't come out scripted, never. In the ring he is actually growing, or given more freedom at least. He can use his momentum and the fact that he has never been a babyface, to actually do something new y turning. I love Kofi too, but Kofi does not have the credibility to be a guy that actually beats his opponents everytime. I hope that the match turns out to end in a good bac and forth match where The Miz ends up retaining, thus gaining some prestige in his IC Run. Let him turn face, and have new storylines with guys like Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Daniel Bryan... A lot of things can be done to have a good credible reign in the midcard.
