Idea for a potential backlash match

[Guest alfdogg]

They should unify the European and Intercontinental titles.  Have a six-pack challenge: RVD, Regal, Test, Booker, Storm, and, uh, Edge, I guess.  Get rid of Regal and Edge, then have Booker eliminate Test and set up Storm for elimination, but Test turns on him to get him eliminated by Lance, then Test & Lance double up on RVD.  Booker saves him to turn face and set up a potential Booker-Test feud, after which Booker could possibly start working his way back to ME status as a face.  I honestly think Storm should go over RVD in the final result, though, because it would set up an awesome blowoff for Storm-RVD.

 

Any thoughts?

I'm all for unifying the titles, but that match kinda sounds like a clusterfuck. Plus, how on Earth are they gonna set it up in 3 weeks? I think they ought to give the Euro Title to Storm, have RVD-Storm at Backlash, and get a feud going from there.

You're right, they could get the title on Lance and just get rid of Edge & Regal and make it a four way, but I think they could set up a six-pack challenge in three weeks.  What about Unforgiven in '99, which was basically set up in six days?  Admittedly, I thought it up more for the Booker face turn than the titles, though.

Hey, I'm down with any idea that helps push for an extended RVD-Storm series similar to Jericho-Benoit from 2000.

I think that the Euro and IC belts will become more important after the split.

 

One side will get the IC belt...and the other the Euro belt.

 

They should be pretty hot commodities...since they will be the top singles titles for the individual leagues...with the World title floating over each.

 

Then one side will get the tag title, and the other will have cruisers...and both have some women title matches for flavoring...

 

anyway...I think that both belts will prove necessary soon.

forget the Euro title it was just created as something to slap on Shawn Michaels anyway,I don't and never have seen the importance of it,unify em

I think that unifying the IC belt w/ the Euro belt would decrease the value of the IC belt. Just let Van Dam run w/ it for a good year. He can be the show stealer at a few PPV's then the belt will gain back it's credibility.

 

It should once again be called the "Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship" too. It makes it sound like it means more. That is how it was announced for Savage/Steamboat at WM3, that is how it should be announced now.
