The IC Title match removed from Breaking Point!

Crest Fall · 09-10-2009, 12:29 AM

The match definitely needs some build up, so I see no problem here.

The match needed build, but I still think it would of been a pay per view caliber match. Little disappointed but this leaves hope for a good angle for the two.

Maria joins J-Mo?

Yeah it would have been PPV calibre and I think they should have kept it on then just advanced the feud from there. What's wrong with having a match that's just about the belt (makes sense for Dolph to get another shot) and then progressing the feud from their first match? People seem to like Morrison so it makes sense having him on PPV, and I agree the match would be decent at least.

I was looking forward to this, too. As was said, a lot has been invested in the IC title to just eject it from the next PPV. It's a waste. On the bright side, at least Taker/Punk and others will probably get a few more minutes.

Why are people jumping to the conclusion that the match is canceled? WWE has removed matches from the PPV site before and kept the match.

When?

I thought the match made sense with Ziggler being the number one contender before Morrison snuck in and won the belt. But I don't care if it's off the card. I like Ziggler with a talented opponent but that's about it.

I would speculate about another match replacing it. But I think it just means we're going to have some really long submission based matches.

For both wrestler's well being, this match shouldn't have happened so soon. Basically, both men are not in a position where they can lose at Breaking Point. First, there's John Morrison. Since coming over to Smackdown, Morrison has been pretty direction-less. Is he a main eventer or a mid-carder? He gets some big wins, but still lacks and real spot on the brand. Now that he's champion, he has a spot. However, before losing the belt, he really needs to reinforce that spot with some wins. Winning and losing the belt so quickly would hurt him in my opinion. The last thing any SD booker wants to do is hurt Morrison since he seems as if he could break out in the main event any time now. On the other hand, there's Dolph Ziggler. While he does have a couple of good matches with Rey Mysterio that has helped his push, he's 0-2 on PPV when it comes to the title. Eventually, looking good isn't enough. Had Mysterio remained on the roster, I have full faith that Ziggler would of won the title this Sunday. Going 0-3 on straight PPV's, I really feel as if it would of been time to throw someone else into the challenger's position for now.

The next PPV is on October 4th. Rey Mysterio's suspension ends on the 2nd. If it was up to me, I'd book a triple threat for No Mercy/Hell in a Cell between Ziggler, Morrison and Mysterio. In that time, have Morrison keep winning matches while Ziggler keeps looking good and reminding people he has a title shot. On the PPV, Morrison takes Mysterio out with any major move, but Ziggler steals the win and the title. Morrison looks good, but Ziggler gets the belt. You'd have two major options after that. Either finish the Ziggler/Mysterio feud at Cyber Sunday/Bragging Rights with Ziggler going over and then continuing the Morrison/Ziggler feud or go straight into the one-on-one feud between Morrison and Ziggler.

At least for now though, there's no reason to go ahead with a Ziggler/Morrison match at Breaking Point. I'd much rather see the Christian/William Regal match that we were screwed out of at Summerslam.

Oh well, no big deal. I like Dolph a lot but am still waiting for him to wow me and I have trouble sitting through lengthy Morrison matches.

Who's we? There's no way it would have been as good as DX/Legacy.

Can't see Rhodes and DiBiase carrying Triple H somehow.

Morrison is basically a mindless spotmonkey who struggles to fill time in longer matches and doesn't know the basics of psychology imo.

I wouldn't go that far. As a heel he was one of the more sound wrestlers going in the 'E. It just seems to me like he's trying to hard to impress the fans with 'KEWL FLIPZ~' at this point, which is a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, considering he's being pushed now more than ever I can't see it changing.

Should also point out that I do quite like Morrison.
