5 ways Shorty G can make the name a success

#5 Win the Intercontinental Championship

IC Champ Shinsuke Nakamura

I'm circling back around to booking on this one, because it's that important.

Earlier in the article, I mentioned how important it is for Shorty to be booked strong if the crowd is going to get behind him.

That's true, but it has to lead somewhere.

So often anymore all someone has to do to get a title shot is to attack the champion. I'd like to see the Shorty G be booked like The Man when she first started her turn around.

When Becky Lynch was booked to challenge Carmella for SmackDown Women's Title at SummerSlam, she earned that opportunity. She worked her way through the entire division before getting that shot.

So when Charlotte was added to the match and went on to win the title, the crowd got behind the Irish Lasskicker. They felt she had been stolen of a big opportunity, and they erupted when she attacked The Queen afterwards. The rest, as they say, is history.

Over the next several weeks, I would have Chad run through the locker room. Earn one impressive win after another, but not get a title opportunity.

I want Shinsuke Nakamura to be scared to face Gable. Sami Zayn can get on the mic and talk down to him. Tell him he's not worthy even though deep down, they know how good he is.

Their program could culminate with a big match at the Royal Rumble. It's there that the ultimate underdog could defy the odds, and win his first singles title.

What are your thoughts on Shorty G? Can Chad overcome the name as long as he owns it?
