I do get what you're saying, but to me it's sort of like Jeff Hardy as Intercontinental Champion last year. He went over Shawn Michaels...in a non-title match. Why not just make the match for the IC belt? I'm all for MVP playing with the big boys, but what's the point of him being US Champion if he's not going to defend the US Title?

As for his attire, I do agree with what you're saying, but I thought the colourful costumes added an arrogant sort of flare to his character. Even as a face, that could work. I do get that they're trying to make him more serious, but they could do that with some better designs.

I guess you'd seek a balance in having MVP defend his title against other mid-carders, yet still dipping his toes in the water against the main eventers.

But since this is MVP's first RAW, you'd be hard pressed to say where The E are going to go with this. My initial reaction is that this is good for the belt. If MVP has a little mini-feud with Orton and doesn't defend the belt, I think the important thing is you have a US Champ in the main event.

On the other hand, you could have gone the other way, and had MVP have a backstage locker room confrontation with midcard heel #1 and gone from there. But you wouldn't expect to see them wrestle on PPV, most likely, and save for an initial confrontation, neither guy would get much mic time.

Either way, I'll stop there because I’m meandering off into 'what ifs'.

Still, we both agree on more MVP.

Seems like they do this thing where they have the champion take a bunch of matches not for the title, and then if he gets beaten the person who beat him is automatically the number one contender. In the case of a main eventer, that person would I guess technically be the number one contender, but since they are out of that title's league it is a rule the bookers can choose to ignore, since it isn't really official.
