I'm really disappointed that after being pushed very hard and winning the intercontinental title Jackson push seems to have stopped. With successive losses to Christian and Cody it seems now he isn't quite the unstoppable force that had been presented to us. Don't get me wrong I'm not a big fan of his(I think he has the look and that's about it) it's not a "why is Big Zeke not getting the push he deserves?" thread. But this bothers me for two reasons.
1.) It happens too often. Someone gets a push is made to look like the next big thing and then without reason they get jobbed out and made to look like just another guy. Eventually when a guy's getting a push you won't get behind him or believe he's going to make it because odds are within 6 months he'll be back firmly at the bottom of the card. It's happened with countless guys like Dolph Ziggler, they get pushed then are made to look like nobodies,then six months later they get pushed again almost from starch! Instead of doing that why not see the push though(and occasionly when someone asks why the guys not getting over,instead of blaming him, ask if perhaps he's being booked poorly).
2.)He's the IC champ!! Having the IC champ lose on a regular basis makes the title seem even more meaningless than it already is! It's like saying "we put this title on any loser so it doesn't really matter".
Anticipating a point that may be raised. Why do I have a problem with the new WHC going over someone when clearly it makes sense for him to look strong? No problem with Christian beating anyone but my retort would be, surely they could have put him over another face that's not receiving a push right now? Or a guy who the loss wouldn't hurt one bit like Kane.
Anyway thoughts?
