Put guys like Zayn and Nakamura in compelling storylines in the upper-midcard scene while the bigger "larger than life" guys are in compelling stories in the main event scene and you're golden. You're pleasing everyone. The smarks and hardcore fans would be more than content just watching matches like that that mean SOMETHING. As long as you don't fuck with them by teasing those guys as potential main eventers and then not following through with it.

There should be no ceiling on them. But I see what you're saying. IC title feuds should be heavily featured akin to Warrior vs Rude, Bret vs Bulldog, Razor vs Shawn etc.

However, if the guy is the best/most over guy in the company and the fans eat his shit up and they WANT him to be the big champ,then why the hell not. Because if you place that ceiling on them, guys like Shawn Michaels would have only ever been IC champ and that's kind of dumb.

Yeah, my point wasn't so much that there should be a ceiling as it was that they can work things in a way so that they guy they want to represent the company and the guy the more hardcore fans love can both thrive in whatever spot the company wants them to be in without the fans caring about the totem pole. When you tease a Daniel Bryan type repeatedly though without intending on him being the guy, that hardcore fanbase is suddenly gonna WANT it. And now your hands are kinda tied. Shawn Michaels was more than IC champ because he happened to be the guy they chose. That's the way it should be. The company successfully leading the fans to enjoy what they give them as opposed to a vocal and potentially very disruptive fanbase twisting their arm.
