Christian is the current Intercontental Champion but when he loses the title and stalls out again, would you like to see him jump ship back to TNA? I can't help but think if he hadn't of been a main eventer in TNA, WWE wouldn't have rehired him. He could have potential feuds with Roode, Storm, RVD and Anderson. So what do you think, is being a mid carder in WWE better than being a main eventer in TNA?

I'm not a Christian fan, so can't say I really feel strongly one way or the other.

Well.... nnnnnnnnnnnnnnyes. Unless WWE's preanticipated "big summer plan" pays off, WWE is most likely just going to shit on him anyways when they begin to sink. Truthfully, if he is going to TNA, now maybe a good time.

So, is this all TNA got by letting Flair show up at the WWE HOF? An in-ring appearance by Christian to present TNA's greatest moment?

LMAO. This is why TNA is what it is.

Would you rather be the best athlete in the special Olympics or not be retarded? Christian needs to stay in the E.

Wouldn't exactly say it was a bad trade off. They got a well known WWE performer to cut a promo live on PPV.

WWE made more money by having Flair show up at the HOF, both in ticket and dvd sales. No one will buy the dvd of this TNA ppv thinking "I wanna see Christian's promo". It also looks like Flair is done with TNA and will go back to the E. TNA just had Christian, a guy who's "ok" but not great, show up, cut a little promo, and present a TNA great moment. All the while, I'm sure most fans were thinking "He's in WWE".

A bit lopsided if you ask me. But it's ok, I guess.

Perhaps William Shatner can show up in his "Negotiator" persona and make TNA's bargains for them! :y:

Really think Dixie fucked up BIG TIME announcing Christian's return to TNA in advance.

I don't really think it was a mistake. He was only showing up for one event and to announce him for a ppv would help buys. What would the positive be by not announcing him?

The HUGE UNPREDICTABLE SHOCK of having the WWE Intercontinental Champion appear on a TNA Pay-Per-View. I doubt Christian making an appearances did much to really boost buys, but unannounced, NOBODY would have seen that coming.

Would have been an incredible moment.

The shock moments tend to be better for regular television. That way with word of mouth/internet/every other form of communication people will tune in during the segement to see what is going on.

I would agree with you if this were a program people actually watched but since it is TNA even the small amount of boost Christian gave them was worth it.

Not if that moment is nothing more than him coming back to announce the most significant moment in the history of a company that is fairly insignificant in the greater scheme of wrestling history.

If he shows up with the IC title, cuts a classic Christian heel promo running down TNA and then defends the title against someone like AJ Styles, then you'd have something kind of exciting and unexpected.

She always spoils things via Twitter. That's another reason why TNA will never challenge WWE. Do you imagine Vince going on Twitter and spoiling stuff?

Lots of people in WWE are going to hell in a hand basket. Jerichio and Orton are suspended, R-Truth is injured, and Del Rio might not be too far behind him. Mark Henry is still sidelined, and Rey isn't on TV.
Christian just needs to stay healthy and out of trouble. He can main event in WWE on the graces of everyone one's bad luck.

WWE is looking for someone to replace Cena, something Christian will not be capable of anymore. Sorry, but I find it unrealistic for that to happen in WWE, given his age amongst a flock of younger guys.

He was going to, and then came the Squirrel Master. MasturBateman cowers in a corner, telling them to,"Wash your hands!!"

Yea, but there are people who probibly ordered the PPV just to see Christian. Refer to them as his "Peeps" :wave: Possibily (but not really likely) some of them were TNA fans that saw Samoa Joe vs Aries or the Three Way Dance and decided that they would start tuning into Impact again

I think him returning to TNA would do wonders for his career. He has a good run thus far. Going back to TNA claiming that he liked it better there and getting involved in the title picture... that would be great for TNA.

Send him to TNA like a loan signing in football, Imagine Christian vs Austin Aries IC vs X champion.

You know both companies would manake more money if they work togeather but tna would benefit more than the sales could make up.
