The Bouncing Articles: United States Championship

The Bouncing Articles

The Bouncer

            I recently did an article on The Intercontinental Championship, so I guess I should talk about the United States Championship. Well, let's cut the chase and get started with this article!! Wait, before I start, I will add something interesting. At the end of the article, I will name the best and worst person to hold this title. First, I will talk a little bit about this title.

The WWE United States Championship

               Personally, I think this title should change its name. Why? The same reason why The Great American Bash got its name change. Anyways, this title WAS really prestigious, but now it is taking a backseat to the Intercontinental Championship. Everyone sees the Intercontinental as the more prestigious title between the 2, and that says a lot since the Intercontinental Championship is at a really low prestige level right now. I hope this title gets taken seriously soon. Dolph Ziggler is doing really good in bringing the prestige back up, so let's just hope that this title stays away from Zack Ryder!!!! Ziggler can face Santino for the title. There!! That was solved. Then when Evan comes back, they can have a feud. Anyways, let's continue!!

Sheamus

             Sorry guys, but I have to rant right here. Let's look at Wrestlemania 27. I have to include this in my article, because this really disrespected this title. Though not as bad as the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania 25, but it was still pretty bad. Let me explain what happened. He was suppose to fight Daniel Bryan in a title match. It was pretty hyped up, but it ended up failing us all. It started out okay, but then it ended in a no contest. OH WAIT, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT WAS A DARK MATCH!!! The match ended in The Great Khali winning. Wrap your head around how that happened. You may be wondering how Khali won a Daniel Bryan/Sheamus match, but remember, WWE is horrible. That is all you need to know at the moment/right now.

Ken Kennedy

            Okay, we all knew I was going to add him here. This reign was great. Though it was short, it played a big part in his career. If this reign would have lasted longer, this title would have a lot more prestige. Actually, if Kennedy held either The WWE Championship or The World Heavyweight Championship for at least a day, every single hardcore TNA, ROH, and Indy fan would instantly convert to WWE, but now this won't happen since Kennedy got fired. Anyways, this reign was pure genius. I think the Undertaker/Kennedy match should have been for the title to add a little bit more spice to the storyline. It was a pretty good match, but it ended in disqualification. The match between Finlay and Bobby Lashley which got Kennedy his only title run in WWE was pure genius. Whichever creative member that was in charge around this time should be in charge right now!! Anyways, this title reign was just a masterpiece, and was of course the most memorable time of the United States Championship.

_____ ______

             Chris Benoit was a pretty good champ, but there is something that shadows over his reigns. It was at Wrestlemania 23. MVP Vs. The Invisible Man. I thought it would be a great match. It was a JOHN CENA TYPE MATCH!!!! MVP destroyed him in that match. Chris Benoit hit 5 German Suplexes and a Diving Headass, which gave him the win. MVP WAS IN CONTROL FOR MOST OF IT. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU COULDN'T COME UP WITH A MORE BELIEVABLE WAY OF WINNING???? Did you guys know that there was no 2004 Royal Rumble?

Harley Race

             I don't know much about this reign, but I can't really be blamed since I was kind of NOT BORN YET!!!! This was about 6 years before I was born. Since he is the first champion, I will have to talk about him. I will try my best to be as informative as possible. He won it back when it was the NWA Championship. I can't really explain much about this reign, but it ended in a house show. I just wanted to acknowledge this reign since it was the first ever reign for this title.

Eddie Guerrero

             Many recognize him as WWE's first ever United States Championship holder. Others argue it was Edge. To me, it doesn't really matter. Anyways, the match that Eddie won this title in against “nobody” was great. The match was about 20 minutes, and it didn't take Eddie Guerrero saying “hey Colt Cabana” to make people like it. The thing I didn't like was that it was a dirty win. At least Mr. Blank has been able to lose cleanly before. Anyways, yea that was his reign.

John Cena

            Who thought giving the second worst wrestler of all time would be a good idea? Who thought ruining the way the belt looks would be a good idea? How can you give John Cena this belt, and not give this belt to people that deserve it, like Snitsky or Braden Walker? This reign was just terrible. I did not like Cena at this time, so him always being in the WWE Championship picture isn't the main thing that makes me hate him. I dislike Cena because of his lack of talent. That leads to me being annoyed that he is always in the main title picture. Anyways, what is this reign doing in WWE history? HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CHAMP!!! At least it wasn't Randy Orton (who got Kennedy fired).

The Bouncing Q & A

Q: What wrestler gives you the most mystery?

A: I have no clue what you mean, but I will make a guess. The wrestler that gives me the most mystery is Skip Sheffield. He makes me wonder what he believes 6-8 months actually is.

             Thank all of you for reading. I may not have been that clear, so I will let you know the best/worst reign. The best reign is Kennedy's while the worst is Cena's. Well, that is it!! Remember, if you have a REASONABLE question that you would like to ask me, what are you waiting for? ASK IT!!!!

GOODNIGHT!!!!

   Phenom,
   
   1. At the time, WWE was the WORLD Wrestling Federation, not the "United States Wrestlng Federation".
   
   2. WE WILL NEVER KNOW NOW, WILL WE?
   
   3. CM Punk hasn't been my favorite, but his promo did not improve his in ring skills. People I know that have been neutral about Punk started saying he can outwrestle Angle after that promo. THAT DOESN'T IMPROVE YOUR WRESTLING SKILLS. I don't get why everyone calls me a "hipster". All I say is that some stuff use to be better. Example, Guns N Roses. I don't hate the current Guns N Roses because it is more "recent" or it is "cool" to hate them. I hate the new one because IT ISN'T GUNS AND ROSES. YOU DON'T HAVE IZZY, SLASH, DUFF, OR ADLER. The music to be is nowhere near as appealing as Appetite for Destruction. If they said 1 random line about disagreeing with politics (like "Hey ____") or something, that would NOT make them automatically good. (This wasn't talking about any specific politic or policy).
   
   Viper,
   
   1st paragraph- I agree that CM Punk doesn't deserve to be the best, which is why he isn't.
   
   LET IT GO??? IS KENNEDY IN WWE???? NO!!! WHY WOULD I WATCH THAT "LITTLE SHOW CALLED TNA"?
   
   He didn't stay long enough or Vince didn't keep him long enough? Besides, he should have gotten a title in the 1st place.
   
   I cannot understand your last paragraph.I couldn't find the closing parenthesis.

   United States Championship: No change -_-
   Sheamus: They messed up his reign pretty bad at WM
   Ken Kennedy/Anderson: Funny he became a World Champion in TNA and no one gave a crap then so what do you think will happen if he had it in WWE?
   Chris Benoit (don't be a baby): His reigns were all great, his last one helped put MVP over big time
   Eddie Guerrero: "it didn't take Eddie Guerrero saying 'hey Colt Cabana' to make people like it. "
   Imbecile CM Punk was already over in my eyes and we all waited for him to get his due and right after he wins the title you hate him or "fans that bandwagoned." Trust me most really wrestling fans respected CM Punk and him telling it like it is hasn't been done since Austin was doing it in his day.
   John Cena: I actually liked his reigns because it all transitioned into his ascension which everyone seems to dread. I dread the fact that they put the title on him so much but I think he was the right guy at the right time. They just go to him too much.

   ok i'm sick of you commentating on guys you don't like. It's simple if you don't like them then don't mention them! Obviosly your jealous that randy orton are better than you and yoyur favorite wrestlers. There is also a reason why guys like snitsky never won a title.

   Ok, this one makes sense, you're right, Cena shouldn't have changed the belt, but that doesn't mean he didn't deserve it, that's like saying Big show doesn't deserve to be strong, or Cm punk doesn't deserve too be the best
   
   Btw, kennedy has been world champ, if you ever watched a little show called TNA, he was a 2 time champion beating both jeff hardy and sting, so really, let that one go
   
   Snitsky wasn't there at the right time for newcomers to get world titles (which is now) and didn't stay long enough to earn one
   
   And as for Orton (getting kennedy fired, that's bull, Orton didn't get kennedy fired, kennedy didn't even get kennedy fired, kennedy didn't re-sign and then transitioned into TNA, it was the same with about half of TNAs roster, like matt hardy, the dudleys, jeff hardy, kurt angle, and booker when he was in TNA, so you saying he got kennedy fired us just sounding stupid

   Dear Bouncer,
   I usually find your articles enjoyable, mostly because you're so good at trolling the IWC.
   But i gotta say, this article made me want to hunt you down and rif your head off.
   1.The name of the title shouldn't change for the exact same reason The Great American Bash was changed.
   Because The Great American Bash shouldn't have changed in the first place. Whoever thought that was a good idea was a moron.
   Because no one with a working set of neurons should feel offended by a bloody fictional name!
   Proof: The 3 American Pie movies that had a theatrical release had an overall revenue of 750 Million dollars (400 of thos being from outside the US), on a budget of only 95 Million.
   Proof #2: The people with a stutter didn't complain about the 2nd R in The Corre!
   
   2."Actually, if Kennedy held either The WWE Championship or The World Heavyweight Championship for at least a day, every single hardcore TNA, ROH, and Indy fan would instantly convert to WWE, but now this won't happen since Kennedy got fired. "
   I find the Kennedy/Anderson character annoying as hell. And i am a WWE fan. How can you convert the pagans, if your followers don't like you in the first place?
   
   3. "and it didn't take Eddie Guerrero saying “hey Colt Cabana” to make people like it."
   You're one of those hipsters. As soon as your favorite band/actor/wrestler breaks out of obscurity you start complaining and chanting "you sold out" (full article on that coming soon)
   And for the record, it wasn't that "hey colt cabana" that made people like Punk, it was the fact that he said what everyone else was thinking.
