The fued will intensify between Orton and Foley. Orton can talk about how Foley screwed him out of the one thing that mattered the most to him, therefor making the title seem importanmt to him. Whoever he loses the title to would get a temorary rub at least until Orton gets the title back. The IC title could be defended at the next PPV, and after Orton is through with Foley, he can go back to tyring to win the IC title, and it is an easy way to explain a fued for Orton after he is done with Foley?
Your idea is good as always CyNick, but if my idea happened, do you think it would work out?

That could work, and if they are going to take the IC title off Orton they have to use that scenario because it would be dumb to have him drop the title without Foley being involved.
However I dont think superstar 'x' winning the IC title gives them any kind of rub. As of right now the IC title isn't really a big deal, its been damaged so much over the past 3 years or so that its nothing more than a prop. I think it does better for the title if Mick Foley, a WWE legend actually wants to win the title from Randy. Also, since the feud will be high profile people will see and hear segments with the IC title being in the middle. To me anyway, that makes the title seem more important. Then if you continue to build Orton as a top guy, who happens to be the IC title, again it makes the title seem more valuable.
There's no perfect way to book these kinds of things, but I think strengthening the IC title should be their priority, and I dont think having someone else win it in a fluky manner realy does anything for the title itself.
