Who do you guys think should take the US title off of Santino, because honestly we all know he's been the worst US Champion since David Flair held the title in WCW.

I think I would either give the title back to Daniel Bryan and let him defend it a lot, because he gets great crowd reactions and if they build up feuds right he could make the title worthwhile again, like Benoit did in 2005-2007.

I would be perfectly happy with this happening as well. Although I'd prefer he get a bit more over first instead of them pulling a Del Rio and giving him the title as a means of GETTING him over (which is completely ass backwards).

Damien Sandow. Make the title mean something again. Have him talk about how he's going to use this title as a platform to help reeducate the simpletons of America by showing them what a true champion looks like. No need to put the IC title on him, Miz is fine with it.

If not Sandow, Hunico. Let him get into a nice feud with Sin Cara, and then have Rey put him over big. Should do well to help elevate him.

My vote for Sandow.

I love how all of you think Santino is the problem. Got news for you, it was a joke way before Santino, it hit rock bottom when Ryder held it and he was Cena's damsel in distress. Amazing how people forget that shit reign. It doesn't matter who you put it on, they don't give a fuck abut it. If they did, there is abeolutely no reason why they couldn't make Santino work, he's a very talented guy.

Ryder's reign wasn't very good, but in the beggining when he first won it, it felt very important. Him and ziggler put on some good matches had a good feud over the belt. I'd say when Ryder was fighting for that belt, it had a very high importance.

And I disagree with santino. His current gimmick is meant to be a comedian who panders to the crowd, he has made this belt seem worthless, doesn't even carry it around half the time.

Newsflash: Damien Sandow is not ready yet because he needs a real feud before establishing himself as a top contender.

So, at the moment, 3 persons who are very suitable to hold the title:

1) Jinder Mahal - when he is done with Ryback.

2) Heath Slater - People already know him.

3) David Otunga - About time.

Those 3 persons can have a long reign. The holder will lose to Ryback, then Damien Sandow will beat Ryback for the US title.

I want to see Sandow with the belt. Just putting the belt on that guy improves the reputation of the belt, for the simple reason that if he were to win the belt, then the belt (and how it makes him a better savior of the unwashed masses, etc) would be all that his character talked about. Even if Sandow is not 'ready' yet, by the time Vince decides to take the belt off of Santino he probably will be 'ready'.

Alex Riley, Antonio Cesaro, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, David Otunga, Drew Mcintyre, Heath Slater, Hunico, Jack Swagger, Jinder Mahal...

Anyone, just take it off...

Put the title on Hornswaggle. A Santino/ Hornswaggle feud culminating in a Hell in a Cell Match at Night of Champions would be Legen....wait for it....Darrrrryyyy!!!!!
