I was a "smart mark" back when there was no Internet and the only source for wrestling news was Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine (as well as others). I'm not just an "Internet fan" who bitches about the things that we should be seeing on RAW and Smackdown. I'm more than just a fan as I've worked matches and booked shows. I eat, sleep, and breath professional wrestling because I have long term plans in the wrestling business. I'm not just some smartass wrestling fan that thinks they know what's best for the business.

I realize Vince doesn't care what the Internet fans want or even the casual fans for that matter. But the fact is today's casual wrestling fan would respond more to Raven than the casual fans of the last 90s-early 2000s. Whether or not the casual WWE fans are aware of Raven's recent NWA World title win is irrelevant. The fact is if he were in WWE today he would be more over than he was the last time he was in WWE and he would be more over than some of WWE's current workers. Today's wrestling fans, casual or Internet, would appreciate Raven alot more than they did 5 or 6 years ago.
I wouldn't test LC's knowledge of marketting. I'm pretty sure the guy's studied it (legitamately).

Anyway, when you get to the WWE (and I hope you do, because I wish you the best), it will be ironic if you're out there busting your ass day in and day out only to find some people on the internet talking about how you're "only average".

Watch any of the high profile matches Christian has been in and tell me he isn't making it an entertaining match. Watch the TLC 1, TLC 2, TLC 3, TLC 4, his Ladder Match with Rob Van Dam, his Ladder Match with Chris Jericho or his Triple Threat at Vengeance, and tell me that guy doesn't go above and beyond for us.

You mentioned Raven was never over in the WWE because he wasn't push right? Christian has never been pushed right and he is MASSIVELY over. The guy was more over than The Undertaker, Booker T or Chris Benoit on SmackDown! (I wish they didn't edit SmackDown!'s crowd reactions), and that is saying something.

I don't think the guy should be World Champion immediately, but by the end of the year, sure. He's got perfect mic skills (that's not an exaggeration). Everything he says comes out sounding perfectly, and his promo a few weeks ago with Jericho was top stuff. The only reason he would have been saying "Problem Solver" a lot (which I don't remembr happening) is probably because he was trying to help Tomko get over, which is something that probably sounds strange since we don't usually hear Triple H spout off names.

Christian's ring skills may no be perfect, but he's one of eht more solid performers on either brand, and he knows how to string together a match. I'm looking forward to him beating Booker T at The Great American Bash, and eventually moving on to Dave Batista.
