I'm new here, and it seems like this is a great place for some good wrestling talk.
That being said, just like the previous poster, I, too, think that Ziggler reminds me of Mr. Perfect, my favorite wrestler of all time. I love Ziggler, and think after a couple more months, he will be ready for the IC Title.
Ziggler is doing great, and getting great heat, as well as a great push by the WWE, and I'm loving it. But as much as I love him, I don't think putting the belt on him legitimately right now is a good idea. Like others have said, maybe having him steal the belt after 'injuring' Mysterio, and having another 'face' get the title.
I like the idea of Ziggler injuring Rey, stealing the title, Long coming out at the end of the show and saying that next week there will be a IC Title tourney, Morrison winning, and defending against Ziggler at Breaking Point.
Then, when Mysterio comes back, he wins it back maybe at the next PPV in a Triple Threat match vs. Ziggler/Morrison, then at the NEXT PPV, Ziggler either wins, or at the NEXT one after that.
I'm just worried about him getting it too soon. I mean, if he gets it too soon, he pretty much plateaus, and that's it. Nothing else for him to do right now. And I think he could have some great matches with obviously Rey, but also Morrison. I would love to see Morrison/Ziggler.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and I can't wait to see what happens in 4 days when I will inevitabley look at the spoilers for Smackdown.
