I'm talking for the linear championship. It seems like some internet grognard would be picky on that.

I'm sure a million people pointed out the subtweet to JR but when a 60 year old man gets to call you out on your subtweeting that's pretty loving funny.

Yes, Wade Barrett has talked about it in an interview and I think he tweeted about it once as well.

The way they don't even wait 20 seconds before they start jobbing an IC champ out is hilarious. The way they book the thing, they really outta just give it to Heath Slater and let him have some crazy Honky Tonk Man reign where he constantly loses but retains somehow.

Or an IC championship scramble match where every participant is desperately tying to get pinned so they DONT win the cursed title.

Alternately, I'd love to see the IC title get some credibility back, but have them also introduce a "cursed" belt where the object is to try to lose it, and tapping out doesn't count. Or have it audience reaction based like Dragon Gate's Owarai title.

If only they would start using the fabled Internet Championship, they could transfer the jobber curse to it, for the holder is already a jobber.

....I have a feeling this all started during Santino's Honk-A-Meter phase and they just forgot to take the IC title off the 'jobber title' list they have in Creative....

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I like Josh, I do, but every time I think of him I'm reminded of his first night commentating on Raw where he had a massive nose bleed as soon as the camera was on him.

It is and they push it as a feature/innovation that they post-produce commentary remotely in Nashville.
