Big Show vs. Christian would get lost in the shuffle, I think. WrestleMania is always that way. The title matches and epic special attractions drown out the upper mid-carder fight. Also, the storyline would probably have Big Show going after Christian because Vickie Guerrero told him to, which would put him at odds with Edge. So what you're essentially doing through Show vs. Christian is teasing Christian vs. Edge, which is all well and good, except WrestleMania should have some finality to it.

How are people going to enjoy the probably crappy (from an in-ring perspective) Christian vs. Show program, if it is just buying time until an Edge vs. Christian feud, and people can see that and look past the present to it?

I predicted Christian would be in Money in the Bank prior to ECW this week, and I have no problem with him being in the match, except that it does makes the match prediction. In case you're not following, SPOILERS: Christian wins. That's something I could accept, but then you've got another face winning MITB, and when Christian cashes in, you have the whole "paper champion" thing I'm sure people would complain about.

The way the WWE are going about it, Christian can win the ECW Title from Jack Swagger, and use that to springboard himself to the main event scene of, say, SmackDown!. Shelton Benjamin could then also win MITB (because let's face it, he needs a little help), and can then use that briefcase to win the WWE Title down the track. That's two main eventers set-up, instead of just one.
