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?

I was never that big a fan of RVD, to be honest. I found that he didn't put on very credible matches and that he just chained his set of highspots together, and I never found his matches compelling. Still, he has some talent and deserved this shot. He blew it, though - nobody to blame but himself.

This is wrestling, though - he can vanish for 6 months and come back. Thing is, after Eddie's death, Vinnie Mac loses all his cred if he goes light on RVD and Sabu. He really has to be fair here, and that means get rid of both of them (and certainly, get rid of RVD as WWE/ECW champ. Word is 1/2 of that is already done.

I'm reluctant to put the ECW title on a WWE convert, but they don't have many options. Big Show is as good a choice as any, I suppose. The roster is thin on all three brands for a championship caliber guy.

Would really create heat if Cena beats RVD for the ECW title. That gives ECW a champ their fans will pay to see lose, and gives Vinnie Mac a chance to groom someone to beat him. If Raven and Rhyno weren't with TNA, that would help a lot, and same with the Dudleys to fill up the ECW roster. They all have contracts I hear, so they won't show up on ECW anytime soon.

Carlito in my book is still a midcard comedy act. He is being groomed to win the IC title, I suspect, but to me he is still a comedy act (and a so-so one at that).
