Putting him anywhere near the Main Event will only legitimise TNA. Having him wrestle and fued for the ECW title is a clear message about how TNA is regarded by Vince.

I just think that's a very one-sided way of looking at things. To ignore the fact that Christian accomplished things while he was gone and improved on himself is just stupid, regardless of where he went. I'm not saying promote him as "Former TNA World Champion" or to even mention where he's been for the past few years, but treat him with the respect a former World Champion deserves.
Christian is a great talent and always has been. He's very charismatic, has great mic skills, and has an awesome work rate. Placing him lower in the tier of the company only hurts the company because they are not utilizing and exposing his talents the way that they can. It works against them instead of in their benefit.
A big return for Christian not only would've gotten him majorly over, but it would've helped pique interest in the WWE product and Smackdown's main event scene. And there's nothing wrong with helping to increase interest in the product. That's the name of the game.
Christian vs. Swagger is not better than Christian involved with his old buddies, Jeff, Matt and Edge.
