Injured WWE star Bad News Barrett is currently doing promotional work in India, and The New Indian Express conducted an interview with Barrett during which he spoke on a number of topics. On getting his IC Title back and eyeing a World Title run, Barrett had the following to say:

“I want my title back. I don’t care who has the title, whether it is Dolph Ziggler, The Miz or anybody else. I will claim it back. And after that, I want to go to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.”

The Miz Talks Making the IC Title Relevant

John Corrigan of AL.com recently interviewed The Miz, who was promoting this Saturday night’s WWE Live Event in Huntsville, Alabama, and below are some interview highlights:

On the IC Title:

“Every single time I hear about the Intercontinental Championship, it’s like, it’s not what it used to be, blah blah blah. I don’t believe in that. Whenever I’m around the Intercontinental Championship, I make it bigger than any superstar has ever made it. I make it relevant. When I have the title, there were billboards of me on the famous Sunset Strip. Has that ever happened to any other WWE Superstar? No. I’m in movies. Any other Intercontinental Champion in movies right now? No. I make Dolph Ziggler more relevant. I make people talk about Dolph Ziggler. He should be thanking me, he should be on his knees, thanking me for allowing him to be in the spotlight for this amount of time. Instead, he’s backhanding me. And just think, when I take the Intercontinental Championship, what is he going to have left?”

On Working with Damien Sandow:

“Damien Mizdow is an incredible talent. He was lost for a while, and I saw that. I saw his motivation and dedication to the craft. Not a lot of people have that dedication to their characters and really go all out for it. I mean, you saw Damien Sandow in a leotard. That’s how much he’s willing to go for his characters. That’s what I saw in him and said, you know what? You’re Damien Mizdow now. I’m going to take you under my wing and allow you to blossom.”

Which NXT Star Catches His Eye?

“There’s so much talent down in NXT. I think Tyler Breeze has a lot of potential. I think that there are a lot of guys down there making a lot of noise and should be up on the WWE roster very, very shortly.”

to make it relevant...have actual feuds and storylines with it. Have segments with champion and challenger like you do with the world title. Match to match to match doesn't equal a feud alone, you need all the stuff in between.
