No one has bitched yet that Christian stayed on ECW. So what happened people... did this rash of Christian'ity subside... or are you happy he remained on ECW?

My personal feeling is that it's the right place for him at the moment. We saw his feud with Swagger go absolutely nowhere. I mean shit... this guy really hasn't even ran a single program since carrying the belt. Give it a year... if by the next draft the big fish in a little pond syndrome is painfully obvious then yeah, move him to another brand.

Damnit! I was praying nobody would say anything about it, because I laughed everytime I logged in and checked and didn't see all these people whining about how Christian's epic return was completely wasted and put to shit and how Vince is shitting all over an awesome talent and career and...


...yeah, it's a good thing he's on ECW. Some interesting feuds possible, and who knows what happens when his "one-year" contract is up with ECW and he goes over to Smackdown.

I was originally pretty pissed. I still am to a degree, but not as much. Hopefully he can help build up the young guys, and eventually come over to Raw or SD. With the way WWE is, he'll probably be appearing on SD at some point anyway.

I'm glad he's there he was obviously put there to serve a purpose, which in my opinion is to give some credibility to Jack Swagger, I hate the guy but somebody see's something in him. As soon as he is able to build a real champion outta Swagger he will probably get moved to Smackdown. Thats just my thoughts on the whole thing.

Just a random little thing... I noticed they changed his finisher's name to "The Killswitch".

I have been ok with him being on ECW since day 1. I'll admit I was very shocked just like everyone else, but I wasn't upset about the move. I wasn't shocked one bit that he stayed on ECW at the draft. If he would have moved brands just 2 months after debuting, then what would even be the point of having him debut on ECW?

I see Christian as this year's Matt Hardy. He will be the top face on the show and at some point he will probably get a run with the belt. It's a trial run to see if he can truly be the star of a show. If he does that then I see him being drafted next year and getting a decent push on one of the main shows, like what is happening with Matt Hardy right now.

I see Christian as a stepping stone to give Vladimir Kozlov the belt. He will beat Swagger at Backlash imo and then Kozlov will beat him down the line. I see him as a possible multi time ECW Champ if he satys on ECW for the whole year, which I think he will and should. Also, the Killswitch is a pretty awesome name.

He's had that changed since he came back.

And yeah, I got over this the week of the draft. Once I came to the realization that if he went anywhere he would probably go nowhere unless he did something with Edge (which isn't going to happen anytime soon), I actually didn't want him to get traded. And I'm glad he didn't now. He can continue to progress by doing what he's doing and finally win the ECW title whether it be at Backlash or not, he will win it. And after he does, THEN he can be moved to SD, just like Morrison, Punk, etc all did.

I really couldn't care about Christian to begin with, so I wasn't whining.

If Vince is down on Christian at the moment then best for him to stay on ECW where he can be the top guy and prove his doubters wrong than move to Raw or SD and not be given a chance. I think Christian will win the title at Backlash, or possibly the PPV after, probably building to a feud with Kozlov for a match at Summerslam.

I really wasn't pissed or shocked that Christian didn't get drafted out of ECW at all, I mean there are so many interesting fueds that he can get in before his time comes to go to SD or Raw. I hope Christian fueds with Tyson Kidd so bad if they can make good promos against each other, and then I can see a possible Kozlov/Christian fued in the works also.

If Christian wins the title at Backlash I would almost guarentee that Swagger is just about done. He hasn't had a real title program since winning the belt...then he loses it in his first match of a program?

I couldn't care less if they bury Swagger. He showed against Cena that he can wrestle, but his mic work is just absolutely terrible, one of the worst I've ever seen. And don't get me started on his nickname...
