John Morrison/Intercontinental (sp?) Championship

[Milkyway!]

Mark my words. John Morrison will be the one to make the IC title mean something again. Just think about it. The titles a comediac (sp?) joke, but could you see the fued between punk/morrison, miz/morrison regal/morrison kofi/morrison. How amazing it all looks. What do you think, could Morrison really make the IC title mean something again?

It can only be morrison to do it. Punk fueding with everyone on that list sucks, same with regal. Morrison makes a better face than miz, it makes more sense for the face to break off, and win the title. (to me anyways) The history between the two, could strike big time.

Morrisons the only one truly ready for the limelight. Miz, is getting there, but not just yet. Punk, proved his limelight chokes and dies. Regal this guy was once destined to win the world heavyweight championship. After suspensions, and pointless fueds. He fell to the wayside, and dosent matter much anymore.

So could Morrison, save the IC title?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

He almost saved it with his last run, so I see no reason why he won't do it again. Wait, no, that was Santino.

Morrison doesn't have the charisma or talent to make the IC title worthwile again. WWE also don't have enough intrest in the title to make it worthwile again.

Next somebody will say that The Miz & Morrison are going to bring the tag division back from the dead.

You can't save a title by yourself. The problem at the end of the day is that the belt is never defended, or there's no real feuds for it. Punk and Regal is kind of a feud, but there's been almost no promos or story to it, other than Regal had the title, Punk got a shot, then eventually won it, not Regal wants it back. Um, ok? Let's say Morrison gets the title. While there's some good feuds there for him, he won't be put into matches for it, so it would mean nothing. At the end of the day, WWE doesn't care. If that's the case, the greatest wrestler of all time can hold it and it's not going to matter.

Kb is right, it's gonna take so much more than a single wrestler, no matter how good that wrestler is.

It's gonna take a real IC title division. A handful of guys who are working their asses off to get the title in some great feuds with the best out of the bunch as the IC champ for a while going through a feuds, then maybe having each of the guys becoming champions over the course of 4-6 months, elevating all the guys and moulding the future of the WWE's main event.

And that's just the start... then you have to keep it going, replace the midcard guys after these ones have moved up etc...

So basically... there's no chance in hell John Morrison will save the intercontinental title by himself.

ive noticed that there is too much love going round for John Morrison, people are going on about him like he's Jesus. Granted he is a good athlete and good worker, and while him and the Miz are having entertaining fueds on pretty much 3 brands i think its way too early to talk about him bringing something back to the Intercontinental title. I mean he is still 1 half of the world tag team champions so he would have to lose them in order to switch brands go to raw and start a fued with whoever is the champion by then and to be honest i dont see the WWE spliting the Miz and Morrison up anytime soon.

Plus if hes as good as most people say he is does he really need the IC title for the next step in his path, we have already seen him fued with Punk on ECW and it wasnt that great who else can he fued with..... Kofi? Rey? because theres isnt really any more faces at that level for him to fued with.

I really dont think that Morrison will be in the midcard for long before he's a mainevent star. So it would be pretty hard for him to "save" the I-C title when he's getting ready to be called up to the mainevent level. If the WWE really wants to make the I-C divison better they'd push CM Punk harder. Punk is more than able to put the I-C title back on the map. But his big problem is that he's a face. If they turned Punk Heel he would have so much more character. Then it would would bring more buzz to the I-C title and everyone would be happy.

y have feuds for the ic title? make it wrasslin (get it wrasslin) title, the ppl have to wrassle for. make the holder defend constantly against random foes. you could have really great entertaining matches with great wrasslers and no need for mic skills. no need for face/heel or gimmick shit. just good solid entertaining matches, that is if the wwe would give them more time than the divas or them showin the same clips 10 times a show.

 

[Age of Orton]

The problem isn't Morrison making the title mean something it's WWE.. Jeff Hardy/Chris Jericho had longish runs with the belt last year then it went tits up with Santino.. I understand his gimmick/Character but in fairness the title went to a comic.. I was pretty happy when Regal won it as I could see some decent feuds with Regal that could give out some awesome ground wrestling.. but his matches with Punk on RAW are laughable.. I could see Punk being a credible champion but for that to happen he needs to be feuds defending the belt.. and Mania 25 DEFEND the belt.. not be in Money in the Bank.. it's the time in wrestling have changed where titles once meant something now they don't.. personally I'd rather see all the titles merged together have one set of tag champs, one world champ, one IC champ, one women's and keep the ECW Championship for that show.. to many title belts make it a cluster-fuck and most titles don't get defended that much.

 

[Deadman]

Well yes JM could save it but I still think CM Punk is saving it right now and will bring prestige back to the IC title so one day you will see CM Punk VS. John Morrison for the IC title at WM mean something like it did those many decades ago. If John Morrison has to be the one to save it then he needs to defend like a champ would as in every PPV a match for his title against serious competitors like Miz,Punk,Rey,Kofi,Kane etc. Not Santino and jobbers also John should not under any circumstances job to any one unless it is a important match which looks better IC champ losing to WHC champ or IC champ losing to Tommy dreamer. Finally he needs to treat the belt like a championship belt that he cares about no going to other titles like being in the RR match or EC match you are the IC champ so feel like and make it proud.

 

[Starchild]

Like many have said, it won't just take Morrison to "save" the IC title. Jericho and Hardy held it last year and they are both great, but still nothing really came after the initial hype of them winning it. While I agree Morrison could have great feuds for it, particularly with Punk, that probably won't happen. WWE has an opportunity to begin to make it mean something right now by having a full-blown feud between Punk and Regal but they aren't capitalizing. They have a couple matches then a return match, and this thing is probably over.
What they need to do to "save" the title is focus on it. Have promos between guys going after it..in the ring and in the back..and have real feuds. Even a 3 or 4 person thing would work. But to make it work you have to be behind it and really put an emphasis on how these guys are fighting over this title...right now it just doesn't look like WWE is committed to doing that, which is very sad as the IC title has produced some of the greatest rivalries and matches ever.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Morrison doesn't have the charisma or talent to make the IC title worthwile again.

what? are you serious?

What? You mean he does?

He's really rather average. Ok matches at best, mediocre interviews. People tell me to watch The Dirt Sheet, I do, and I see why it's internet only.

If he was another title reigns it'll be exactly the same as his last one. Crap.

 

[Dirty Spamchez]

As a matter of fact, he could. He's been going up and up and the only thing keeping him back is The Miz. He has the potential to raise the prestige of the IC Championship. He's been on a roll as of late and hasn't been stopped. He could do wonders for the Intercontinental Championship.

 

[Queers and Steers]

yeah untill the wwe cares about the belt again it will remain putrid. however if the wwe ever decides to push the belt again i do think Morrison wuld defintely be that gut i men him vs Punk just like the ecw days would b great! i honestly hope the belt gets restored to greatness soon because its my fav belt of all time!

 

[Christian Battlez]

No one man can save the Intercontinental championship. A crop of young talented competitors need to compete for the belt. The title must be defended on ppv. Particularly at Mania. There must be storylines revolving around the champion and his challenger. The champion must care solely about the title. I'm not gonna say he can't be in the Rumble or EC but if a wrestler is legitamately ready to win the EC than he should lose the IC title to the next guy in line and be in the Main Event. It will take along time for the belt's prestige to be brought back but I believe it can.

 

[NSL]

I think CM Punk has a good chance at rescuing the belt from obscurity more than Morrison.

In part, because he is a face, and (outside of Will) there's not a whole lot of people that hate him. A feud between the two would be great for any belt, and would definitely do wonders for the IC Title.

As Jake said, no one person can save the title, so it's up to the feuds surrounding it, and the storylines written for it. MVP and Matt Hardy made the US Title relevant again, so anything decent involving Punk or Morrison should be great for the IC.

 

[Crush1]

No I don't really think that John Morrison is going to Save_us. (Lol bad pun) from the IC Title. Because as I mentioned in another thread earlier the guy has too many flaws in his character. I get the fact that a lot of marks may like him for his flashy moves but the guy needs to learn as some other posters would say: Heel psychology 101! And I agree with NSL that Punk is more suitable as the IC champion than John Morrison. Because Punk is already an established high league champion. Morrison isn't. And besides when was the IC title so important anyways? It's just a prop, not like the US title which superstars actualy TELL us that they ARE the champ. If it's not Punk I'm sure some other Midcarder will bring fame to that dead title someday.

 

[GameOver]

He is a good technical athlete and has the look, but his character is monotonous, he just babbles on same with the miz, like they think they are The New Age Outlaws.

Pfft I don't think so

Drop the crap Doors lead singer act and go back to being a phenomenal wrestling talent. His matches with CM Punk and when he was ECW champ and specially when he was part of MNM were phenomenal, if he had the right opponent that could work too
Others will probably disagree with that, but it's time for him to drop the tag team and move to his own self. though that would oleave the Tag Division with one less semi-credible team.
