I think that Eddie should do a little bit of both. Eddie can plausibly beat a guy like Angle. Kurt isn't exactly a huge superheavyweight. Eddie needs to get a clean win over Kurt when it counts. But if the two of them have tag matches or something, then cheating for the victory would be perfect. Or if Kurt were to try and cheat first, then Eddie could outsmart him or something? Having Eddie lie cheat and steal is an original gimmick, and is very entertaining at times. But don't make it look like Eddie isn't capable of winning fairly.

Eddie's match against Brock is a great example of how to book Eddie. Eddie didn't really look like he was dominant or better than Brock. But he looked like he was capable of beating him (even without the Goldberg interference) He looked like he would never quit, and he just looked all around strong in that match. Eddie doesn't need to look like he is weak as a champ.

Whoever thinks that Eddie might not look credible as champ, I think that the fact that Eddie is possibly the most over guy in WWE right now makes him pretty credible.
