This whole thing reminds me of when Bret won the title out of nowhere in 92. I loved it then, and I love this now, it's a great way to make an instant main eventer, he's over, he can work and he can talk.
It's a way to get the IWC back into the WWE product, which in turn can generate more viewers, if that happens, we might be seeing more of what we want and less of what we don't.
I don't see him having the title for long though, potentially every main guy they have on the card could beat him one on one and it wouldn't be a shock, however, this could be the undercard champion that Rey Mysterio wished he could of been. As long as he's not overcomming the odds at the scale of Cena that is.
Rather than over analysis what could/would and should happen, I'm just going to enjoy this moment right now, this is the first time one of the 'our guys' won the belt since Benoit, as in someone who the IWC championed for years, weather he has it for a day or a year, I will always remember feeding my little boy at 4am, switching Raw on to see the overun and hearing Lillian Garcia introducing the NEW World Heavyweight Champion to take on JBL, I then put my baby to sleep, went downstairs and watched the whole thing on Sky Plus, the only other time I've been that compelled to do something like that was the return of Y2J, nothing else had made me want to stay up for RAW
