When you look at your big draws for the better days of wrestling you think... Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and of course The Rock. What do all these guys have in common? A descent run as Intercontinental Champion before their world title days.
But you also think of guys like... The Undertaker. Guys like The Undertaker, Big Show, Brock Lesnar, Yokozuna, etc... they're huge. So the second you see these guys in a ring you think "Big timer"... or "Main eventer". So yeah, f*ck mid card for them. Guys like that are born main eventers and also have it in them to MAKE main eventers.
People are still talking about Andre being slammed by Hogan because Andre's size made him an instant main eventer.
Hell even more recent stars like Booker T and Kurt Angle had their runs as mid carders before world title holders.
I think it's a big mistake to throw Cena into the main event picture. I think Cena should be given the US Title and let him have a GOOD run with it. The more asses Cena kicks the bigger he's going to be cause the crowd likes a WINNER. Then when you see nothing but Word Life and You Can't See Me gestures in the crowd... have him throw that US title in a toilet, take a piss on it, and rap about having his time now and get that world title.
Now, is just too soon.

Titles like the IC/US have been booked to mean nothing, and as a result people these days dont care whether a guy has won the secondary title before getting a push tot he main event. Its not like back in the day when winning the IC title meant you were one step away form the main event, fans have been programed not to care about that stuff.
That being said, I would agree with the idea that both Cena and ORton should get solid runs with the secondary titles before getting the World title.
