Orlando Jordan

**Somebody's Gotta Die** · 05-15-2005, 12:54 PM

He is a decent midcarder and may become better with time, but he's one of the worst midcard champions I've seen in a long time... He's simply not entertaining and the fans don't buy his routine... He doesn't get much mic time and is constantly in non-title matches on Velocity against the likes of Scotty 2 Hotty... He's a dreadful champion and it's hurting the credibility of the brand...

SmackDown! has far better options for United States champions and Orlando has to drop the belt soon... I remember days when Davey Boy Smith would wrestle Bret Hart in classics for the IC title and days when there were classic DDP-Sting matches for the US title...

On SmackDown!, things need to change... There are many other better options for champions:

Big Show - isn't gunning for the WWE title anytime soon and this could be a way to keep him in the spotlight

Carlito - solid newcomer, great mic work, really over, one of the better reasons to watch SmackDown!

Booker T - the guy deserves a main event push, but if he's not working the main event, adding the US title to a feud like Booker-Angle certainly gives the title some credibility

Charlie Haas - this guy is getting buried to shits and although I don't mind the Holly/Haas team as much as some people, they are simply given no exposure so they can't get over, this guy needs to be traded to RAW for a true run

Rey Mysterio - hasn't one the title yet and it gives an Eddie-Rey feud a lot more interest with a title involved

Eddie Guerrero - really over right now with his recent heel turn, no need to rush him back into the main event scene, he can use the belt if the feud with Rey lasts a while

Chavo Guerrero - a cruiserweight, however he's that much better than Jordan... Chavo-London and matches like that for the CW championship is fine with me, though

Matt Morgan - this guy looks huge and delivers solid power moves... If he's going to get over upon his debut, giving him the title is a good idea, however he's definitely not one of my first choices

Rene - he's buried and is a tag-team wrestler, but he's still better than Jordan... Bring Sylvain to SD!, reform La Resistance, send Haas to RAW, and let Conway and Haas shine on their own or even as a team since both are similar technical wrestlers

JBL - when his feud with Cena is over, he should get involved in the US title picture to pave the way for Cena-Christian and similar main event feuds after the brand lottery

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

All these guys are better options for United States champion at this point... Hopefully they don't make him drop the belt to someone like Heidenreich because then it gets from bad to worse... Things need to change dramatically, though...
