Of course the problem with the limitations is that it discourages innovation and you get the same recyled match by every guy up and down the card. As a fan, that gets boring real quick.

Which is why I say don't run a 'wrestling show unless your prepared to take the risks'. Which way has got them better ratings? Good matches/lots of injuries or poor matches/no injuries? I don't think it's that tough a decision. I blame the brand split partly for all this, because they've had to cut down the rosters for each show, so they can't afford to take the risks they once could, which brings up another reason to be against the brand split.

I agree on this. Have him feud with HBK so they can have a return match. I can definately see a re-match between the two, showing that Shelton has gained experience, and he goes over HBK through a victory this time.

With the payoff being a World Title win at some point in the not too distant future.
But if you look at the title itself, its hardly ever defended. Most of the biggest matches he's had this year have been in matches which A) he lost and B) were not for the IC title. That makes the title seem kinda meaningless and would be better off on someone else who would defend it on a regular basis.

I agree that he hasn't been booked well enough, i said that before. And that's probably why he gets no reaction from the crowd.Sure he's gone over HHH a few times, but then he had to lose once to HHH didn't he? I don't agree with the title being meaningless though.the fact that he's had it for so long looks good on paper,especially considering Orton held it for so long before. But he should still defend it alot more than he does.
