...this needs to happen.
We just said this, Sheamus. Former World champ, currently holding the US title, the most logical title for Rusev to get right now, would be a great match and a different kind of match from his recent giant matches.
Sheamus is also considered upper level by WWE, after all. They keep him super strong even as a midcard champ.

I know IWC dorks like all of us come up with unification ideas all the damn time but Rusev is a good vessel for unifying IC and US titles together. He would have actual motivation for doing it.
Yeah, or at the very least to retire the US Title. That belt is pretty worthless.

They both feel samey, that's really the only issue I have with one or the other. I prefer IC, honestly, of the two, but they feel like they serve the same role.

The only thing keeping him hot is the editing department. Those trailers are the shit!
I prefer the IC belt as well. I think the reason I view the US title as below the IC belt is because WWE at least tries to pretend the IC belt still matters. They held a tournament to grant a #1 contender and then made a big deal about the IC battle royal as well.
The US belt meanwhile went MIA during Dean Ambrose's title reign and nobody has really given a crap about it since Shaemus got it.
Neither belt means jack shit, fuck all. Hell, the WWE title is nowhere to be found, the WHC title has been retired and still they can't be arsed to make either of these belts mean ANYTHING.
Don't worry if they have real angle it will be a bottle of jack.

Yep. I like the idea of him 'conquering' it and then replacing it with the IC belt as it represents a fairer, more balanced global championship.
"If Rusev wins the US Title, what does that mean? He beat everyone of note in the USA? Psh. That is nothing." etc etc

I wish JBL would just not talk every time Rusev wins a match. He gets so annoying.
He should win it at a PPV, win again in a rematch the next night, then throw that shit in the trash.
Yeah, I don't think the belt necessarily needs to be defended every PPV. But I think the champion should be involved in each PPV.
I agree
He should win it at Tribute to the Troops!
that's where his streak ends though I bet 
Nah, I like that he's a special attraction. Maybe some kind of video, but he doesn't need to be there for all of them.

I definitely did not. Huh.
Oh, I never said I wanted them talking either.

I kind of want to revisit that recent (ish) Old School Raw with Jesse Ventura as the special host, to hear Vince and Jess call a modern match together again. I remember enjoying it, but I remember nothing else about it.

I think they're all kind of bad now.

Doesn't help that they just put a globe on it
God please no.
That's because Ventura knew Vince couldn't tell him shit. Vince was still shit, but Jesse announced like normal because it's not like Vince was his money maker like Cole and the lot. Vince was shit. Vince is shit. Vince is one of the worst commentators ever in professional wrestling history.

It isn't Brock just choosing not to show, it's WWE choosing not to have him show.
I agree his reign is cold and sucks, but it's hardly Bork's fault.
It's sad how wretched the product is right now. Everything looked in place to go a good direction after Wrestlemania, and here we are closing in on Survivor Series and we have Bork/Cena 3 when no one gave a shit about Bork/Cena 2, Cesaro going nowhere, Rollins being the same boring heel every show, Ambrose being a slightly wackier Stone Cold, Rusev fighting the old giants club. When your developmental show is far better than your actual shows, you have a serious problem. They seem to know that their company is hemorrhaging, but instead of innovating and taking a chance at really getting people interested, they're doubling down on the same shit that got them flatlined for the last decade.

That's also making me wonder, thinking about it now - has anyone arranged an older match's commentary, say with Brain and Gorilla, and worked it out into a modern day match? Obviously the names wouldn't work out, but surely there's some obsessed dork out there who has done this.

I enjoyed Vince's enthusiasm for the product. That was by far his best quality on commentary. I also loved Jesse with him because he would take him to task all the time, like you said - knew Vince couldn't tell him shit. Good stuff, I loved those two going back and forth.
Stone Cold vs McMahon was too late, we shoulda had Jesse vs McMahon in the 80s.
Well now I want to see this done.

Damn budget cuts, I miss unique PPV sets.

Sounds good! Randy Orton and Kane vs Dean Ambrose sounds like a good 'un. So does Ziggles vs Cesaro for the Intercontinental Championship, although somehow I already know the outcome for it(.)
Anyways, I personally can't wait.
I'd have to go with Gorilla and Heenan.

I don't get the commentary. Are they trying to add more gravity and weight to what's going on by doing their shocked silence shtick. JR would have lost his voice before the match even started between ambrose and rollins.

They practically no sold both of the individual table spots outside of the ring, it was a little weird.
But he has to be the one person who believes in the story.
This is the dude that thought Bobby Lashley would take the world by strom so much over CM Punk.
They have all of the old sets + the WCW sets in storage.
Not like they can't roll out an old set.
Then had him work on the brand Hayes was working on. Smart man.
They're "not suitable for HD".

Yesssssss. A front row seat! Such luck~
I wonder if I'll like it more, or less. I do like the idea of being up close, but what if I accidentally notice that it's all fake? :c

How exactly is this not suitable?
