So these other guys would be having great storylines and matches trying to get "the lower" belts, so their stable could show they were the best. Then after the stables came to end, we had tons of back history set up to help build these guys up to the next level or Hunters Glass Ceiling, whatever came first.
Oh BTW Ken at one time was worth fussing over. Him and Owen made me watch RAW at times. I do also believe he did have a little "Title push" maybe I'm wrong. I'm thinking somewhere in or around Kane's Title Push..oops I won the title time. Foley...Do I really have to say anything.
Next, I'd like to say, I wasn't one for the Brand Split, or having two champs, but both ideas grew on me. The areas were they keep failing at is that ranking system and really making the IC and US belts imporant. It seems like everytime the IC storyline starts to get hot, they stomp the fire out and piss on it. I don't know, maybe they're afarid of having the Mid-Cards being more popular than the Main Eventers. Then with the shows you have this unblance level of Face and Heels. This isn't a hard thing to fix, yet they make it seem like it.
All in all I guess I think the thing wrong today is that missing ranking system. I kind of miss watching guys work their way up to IC and then start to flirt with the Main Eventers.

RE: The text emphasized in bold from your post...what about what they've been doing so far with The Miz? I think they're doing fine keeping the US belt on him, as he's held it for over 5 months, AND just recently added the Unified (World & WWE) Tag belts to go on and become the first superstar ever in WWE to hold 3 belts at once...THAT is how you build a future star to be groomed for a world title run someday, and he's not the best in the ring right now, but his mic work is pretty great, and with just a
slightly improved skillset in the ring, he could be a future WWE or World champion for sure.
