How refreshing to have the United States championship defended in the Main Event. From the start of the show, it was advertised as the main event and, it was. Not a mid-card main event with a 'real' main event 'made' during the night.
It was a great match with 4 great, extremely credible wrestlers.
My point is, I wish WWE would give the US and IC titles more credibility (which they deserve). Instead of the generic 'main-events' we get almost every-week, have a IC title match here and there, or a US title match here and there, as the main events. Plug the match, say (just for example), Matt Hardy vs Elijah Burke for the United States championship and let them go out and have a good 15 minute match, where they give it their all. It would really give the wrestlers, AND the whole meaning of what they 'do', some real credibility.
(Maybe Burke isn't the best example (right now...), but you get the idea.)
The only thing I would have changed tonight is that there was a different outcome. It really would have surprised me, and would have made things more exciting.
I realize for programming purposes you have to finish the show with your 'main-eventers', but sometimes...I really wish they wouldn't. I'm often enjoying mid-card feuds more than the main-events. Very often. Like Kofi vs Shelton was brilliant. No hype AT ALL, but it was great viewing.
Anybody else feel the same about having a credible US/IC title match as the main-event once in awhile?
