>>9729660I was actually fucking pissed off at this. Just when I thought that MAYBE they'd sobered up after 2011 wen Ryder got himself over, when they got over the idea of "paying your dues to get where you earned to be and earn a push", giving Ryder at least some kind of title run even if it was for 30 days till Neville came back or something.
Then they did the Raw after Wrestlemania. Lost it immediately. What do they do with it after? No title match at the next PPV. Instead, the Miz defeats Cesaro, Apollo Crews and it ends with Ziggler getting his FIFTH fucking reign.
I genuinely believe that from 2012 to 2021, the IC title might've been the worst title in WWE. It was booked like garbage and prior the Gunther, was not even on PPV. This moment could've been a turn around point.
The Miz having such a strangle on the IC title, along with Ziggler at the time killed it during the mid 2010s.
