Tonight on Raw Big E. Langston defeated Curtis Axel for the Intercontinental Title. I like Big E. and feel he has a lot of potential. Hes still a little green but I like this role for him. Im hoping Langston can breathe some new life into the IC title because it was pretty much worthless around Axels waist. I think Langston can do very well if given the proper chance. He needs some new music and an opportunity to do some mic work. A lot of people think he has no personality but he hasnt been given a chance to show any. Ive mentioned it ever since he turned face so I hate to harp on it but I think getting some new music will go a long way to help Big E. Something like that may seem minor but that is the kind of subconscious thing that tells the fans if the promotion believes in the wrestler. If a wrestler has generic music the fans will think of him as a generic wrestler. Watch the main event of WrestleMania 21. The promotion did a great job of building Batista and he was very popular. After Triple Hs entrance Batista came out to his pretty generic music and it seemed out of place. It would have been a much better moment if he came out to his I Walk Alone music. Obviously the promotion realized that as he had that new music immediately after mania.
Im hoping Langston breaks out here but I dont think this is necessarily do or die for Langston as he is still very young and can still be considered new to the roster. Even if Langston doesnt break out with this reign I think its going to provide a good learning experience for him as he takes his first big step in learning to be a star. Im not expecting instant stardom from Langston with this title win but I think hes on the right track and Langston is going to be a big time player in the future.
