American Gangster is my 2nd or 3rd fav Jay-z album but since then his career has been forgetful. But I think dude is more interested in making songs like 'empire state of mind' and '****** in paris' nowadays.
Christian used to be so over and is still a solid worker. A motivated Christian would be good for the IC title imo. I'd be semi excited for a long term Christian/Ziggler fued. There are so many good mid-card talents right now that there really is no reason for the IC title to be booked so horribly.
