So Christian Cage is being set up to be Kurt Angle's next challenger...
Should he win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Kurt Angle?
I am a big supporter of Kurt Angle having a nice, long establishing reign with the TNA World Heavyweight Title. I was all for Angle retaining against Sting (something which didn't happen, but might as well have). The guy is the best wrestler TNA has, and no matter what anyone holds against the guy, deserves to be their World Champion.
However, Christian Cage has been on fire recently. He's constantly been one of the best things about TNA, and they're finally realising that he can be a big face (like they originally planned for him to be), they just have to keep his personality on the same frequency of what it was when he was a heel. The guy appears to be separating himself from the leader role in a heel stable, and becoming more o a rogue character.
Christian was not the right choice to be the first TNA World Champion, despite being the last TNA-era NWA World Heavyweight Champion. The man is a recogniseable face, but was only a mid-carder in the WWE. A lot of people see him as a WWE guy, but I disagree. Sure, the man got his start there, but I think of him as being in a similar position to Steve Austin: was never allowed to crack it in the 'E, so he changes scenary and at least has a chance. Id on't consider the guy in the same vein as your Kurt Angles and Booker Ts, simply because he was never really a main eventer in the WWE.
In other words: For Christian Cage to be able to carry TNA, I believe he needs some kind of rub. Who better to give that sort of rub to him than Kurt Angle? He's a man that was a top guy in the WWE, and could theoretically pull Christian up to that level.
So should Christian Cage be TNA's next World Champion? In my opinion, yes, he very well should.
Pfft
