Fair enough, I just see him sticking it out fueding with a few people and being on RAW come 2010 draft. This further rectifies that ECW is the best wrestling show on tv today.

Oh man what a disappointment! I mean wow! That's a real crap return, the crowd were near dead silent for him. No hype, nothing he comes back to challenge for the least prestigious title. With the suspected attacker angle at the Rumble not being him I was hopeful for a return in the Rumble itself, with so much hype behind his return they send him to ECW to feud with a rookie for a worthless title :lol: That sucks! So does his new music :( Why couldn't he have his older more recognizable theme with the chicks singing, that theme ruled! Surely more people would have recognized it...

Best part of his return as Jords mentioned: "This moment has become Instantly Classic" :lol: Now that's gold!


From ECW he can pop up on Raw or SD pretty much as he pleases, if Evan Bourne and Miz & Morrison are anything to go by.

His star power solidifies the brand.

And it makes anticipating his reunion/feud/whatever with Edge and the Hardys even better.

Yeah actually after thinking about it for a minute or two it's not necessarily a bad thing. ECW superstars are pretty much given free range of the brands so... :D Hopefully he can squeeze in a visit to Raw scheduled for around July 3rd... :dance:

Also if Christian wins the ECW title, then there's potential for a TLC match at Wrestlemania, with Edge(WWE Champion) and Matt Hardy vs Christian and Jeff Hardy. Although I suspect all four men would be going for the WWE Title only. :lol:

There is no chance of TLC at WM with MITB.

Stoked that he's finally back though. Mania is shaping up to be an instant classic.

I never come into these threads yet on this off chance I do and get spoiled on the only thing I've been looking forward to for ages. I mean its the ECW thread, I really thought I'd be exempt from anything important actually happening.

Biggest anti-climax ever. WWE had a chance to make some huge money out of this. Lame!!!

While we all love Christian he isn't quite the HUGE star that everyone seems to remember him as.

He was main eventing before he left. I don't see why he can't be main eventing now.

As I've said before... ECW doesn't count.

He was BARELY main eventing before he left. It's not like he'd had an established run at the top of Raw or Smackdown. By that logic, Kofi Kingston is a main eventer because he's in the elimination chamber at No Way Out.

Christian was not a main eventer when he left, he was upper mid card at best.

WWE had no faith him, if they did they would have never stuck Jericho in the main event of Vengeance and even then it was a upper mid card match compared to HHH vs Batista.

Yeah I was going by the feud with Cena/Jericho.

I can't remember what he did when going to Smackdown.

Damn guys. He's back & he is providing a degree of star power to the little brother show. This should be seen as a good thing.
Anyway, it's not like they are really bothering trying to keep each show & their rosters exclusive to the one show.
He'll most likely turn up on all three over the coming months leading to W/M.

Personally I'm just glad to see he is back & not being used as a jobber to MEM in TNA.

Oh yeah I'm happy that he's back on in WWE. Just I don't believe that he's a true main eventer ......... yet.

It will be interesting to see whether he has an impact on the ECW ratings over the coming weeks.

Tyson Kidd was impressive.

Guessing no Canadian Bulldogs.

So TJ & Christian make their ECW debues.
I might actually tune in this week. I haven't watched any ECW in about a month, not ever recorded/Downloaded it.
Smith is most likely going to squeeze in a short FCW title run before being called back up to the main roster.
Eric Escobar & Smith are proving to be the only interesting viewing on FCW of late.

Maybe - he was certainly stuck in 'development hell' as one might say.

However, I loved his work in the WWE, and was sad to see him go - and I'm so pleased to see him back.

I started watching wrestling again because of the Hardys and Edge & Christian. And now they're all back in the WWE, and (three at least) are crowding the main event scene. I'm sure Christian can do the same.

I love TJ's reference to Pitbulls in the promo towards Jamie Noble.... lol

+1

See, normally nothing important happens on ECW, so I didn't think twice about reading this thread...

I was under the impression they did it because Christian was getting a better crowd reaction than John Cena.

ECW was awesome, Impressive debut from Tyson Kidd and I like Nattie's Hart family pink hair.

Jack Swagger looks like a 5th former on steroids.
