Okay I was watching RAW last night and something occurred to me. Now we do a lot of bitching about creative, mostly by me, but carrying on, they deserve it and I'll tell you why.
There is 5 title belts in the WWE right now, WWE Champion, Tag Team Titles, US Title, Intercontinental Title and Diva's Title. Stay with me here.
The WWE title is being held by a part timer with a limited date contract. Lesnar won it at Summerslam from Cena, and has defended it only once since then. We have no lack of contenders vying for it Reigns, Cena, Orton and Rollins. I didn't include Ambrose and Wyatt, they are off in their own little world, and Daniel Bryan is a question mark. Next date for a title defense is the Rumble and then likely Mania. God knows what's going to happen, but it's a clusterfuck to say the least.
Tag Team belts are held right now by Miz and Mizdow. Now there is a lack of good tag teams in the division at present, and I hesitate to even call it a division. The Uso's held the belts for most of the year, Dust brothers have had them and that's about the extent of the tag team grouping, for want of a better word.
Intercontinental belt is being passed around like a hot potato this year. Barrett won it then Miz won it in the tournament, lost it to Ziggler, back to Miz, back to Ziggler, then Harper and now Ziggler again. Seems only four wrestlers in the whole of the WWE are capable of having this title.
The Diva's Title, well it's held by Nicki Bella..........oh who am I kidding no one really gives a shit about this belt anyway.
And that brings me to the whole point of this thread, the US Title. What were the WWE thinking by putting it on a guy, Rusev, whose gimmick is the fact that he hasn't been beat since he debuted. Now the word on the street is the fact that he won't lose until at least Wrestlemania next March.
I mean what the hell. The WWE doesn't have a plethora of titles hanging around to hand out and two of them are being held by wrestlers who a) either don't defend them or b) can't lose because it will ruin their gimmick. What in the world are the rest of the roster doing, what are they working their asses off day in and day out for?
So maybe someone can explain to me what the hell creative think they are doing here.
