This is very true. I would also keep Matt Hardy and John Morrison in mind as potential winners of the IC Title on SmackDown!. With Hardy seemingly getting nudged aside for Taker, despite having a logical feud with CM Punk over the World Heavyweight Title waiting, I can see Hardy winning the IC Title as a sort of "we haven't forgotten about you" present. Especially since Michael Hayes loves Matt Hardy.

I'm with thedamndest and Juan on this. Rey Mysterio has been pretty fucking good lately, and his reigns with the IC Title have done a lot to raise the belt. It's no longer a mid-card title, but an upper mid-card title, which is fantastic when young guys like Ziggler eventually win the belt. And I'm actually glad that the WWE have made Ziggler work for his reign. They haven't just thrown the IC Title on him because he's a rising star. This was scheduled to be his third PPV match against Rey Mysterio, and it was going to be a good moment when he won the IC Title.

And Ziggler is fantastic, by the way. He's got one of the better and more thought-out characters in the WWE. The SmackDown! writing team is taking good care of him. I've seen potential ever since "Nicky," and I'm craving a feud between Ziggler and Undertaker over the IC Title. That would be epic.

I love the way he yells "COUNT IT!" after his elbow drop. I just wish his finishing move had a name. I was looking forward to seeing Ziggler slap Rey in the face to spin him into that move, too. In 30 days, I hope for more Ziggler/Mysterio matches.
