I'm oldschool: this is not the kind of press Vinnie Mac needs, especially after the death of Eddie only a few months ago. Get the WWE belt off him immediately, and maybe tonight.
I hope Edge gets it: he deserves a real shot as champ. At this point, even Cena is preferable to this bad press.
RVD is also ECW champ and I don't know who on that roster he can credibly drop it to. Angle is the obvious choice but I hear he is banged up and may be taking some time off, and in any event I don't think it's wise for the ECW title to go to a WWE to ECW convert. Should be an ECW guy - but the ranks are thin (especially since his pal Sabu was busted alongside RVD!).
Would be something to see RVD drop the WWE title tonight, and the ECW title tomorrow night.
Now that's funny.
Sandman?
I agree, Hitman.
I know RVD has always been a big MJ booster, but I'm pretty disappointed in him. He's made such a big deal about getting his chance in the WWE, and rightfully so--- and now it comes, and he blows it.
As far as who the belt can be dropped to credibly, if Vince had pushed people who were skilled workers and good talkers like Val Venis instead of making them look like complete losers because they weren't seven footers, the roster wouldn't seem so thin.
Having said that, I think the Big Show is always a good choice to put the belt on, although you're absolutely correct that Edge is the best choice.
I think Ric Flair could run with it, too. A short while back, Flair was having great matches with 3H, Edge and Angle. I'd like to see him get one more run, even though I don't appreciate the whole 3H backstage clique he's a part of... What about Carlito?
