Gothgirl, I think (unless he was being sarcastic) that JV was saying the Smackdown ratings have improved with JBL on top. As we saw when Benoit was Raw Champion, the title doesn't guarantee TV time, therefore with or without the title JBL will still be getting a lot more exposure on the show in the months to come.

I cant actully see JBL holding the title till Wrestlemania then dropping it to possibly John Cena (and that match would suck)

Aren't 'Taker and Angle are being kept apart so they can face each other at 'Mania? I suppose it all depends on whether they feel 'Taker and Angle need to be fighting for the belt or if their match is high profile enough without it.

Personally, i think its enough of a high profile match to be a non-title affair. I think it should be like WM X7, where Taker and HHH had an awesome undercard match to the Rock-Austin main event.

I agree 100%. Guys like Hunter and TheUndertaker shouldnt be fighting for the title at WrestleMania. This way, there would be more high profile matches.

I also like the JBL character, BUT he is nothing without that world title. Unlike HHH you can accept him without the title because you know good and well he will regain it soon there after, but JBL would just be another wrestler. I like the fact that its fun watching him get his ass kicked all over the place, but then you can say that he is just there for comedic reasons and that you should not take him seriously. If WWE built him to be a joker champion then that is what people are going to treat him as, if the took a piece out of the HHH handbook of how to be a serious champion then people might accept him without the title, because they know down the road he is going to get it back some how. When he loses the title he will more than likely go down as just another transission champion with no real creditbality to himself.
