So where's TNA's logic regarding Christian?
Why announce to the fans that Christian is returning to WWE?
Obviously Christian fans will now know where to find him, and will most likely follow their favourite wrestler where he goes.
That was rather ill concieved booking on TNA's part in my opinion.
That's like WWE announcing Christian going to TNA when he left in 2005. 'He has quit for TNA and you can find that on....etc.'
But other than that CC's coming back!



On RAW, you’ve got Batista with muscles to spare.
But he’s got charisma, like Tomko’s got hair.

You got Triple H and Ric Flair, their legend still grows.
26 titles between them, and the world’s biggest nose.

Hey Cena, you think I’m jealous of your fortune and fame.
Well you talk like Snoop Dogg, but you look like Corey Haim.

So after the draft, whether it’s RAW or SmackDown!, JR or Michael Cole.
I will be champion, cuz THAT’S HOW I ROLL!

TNA is retarded. They always give WWE free plublicity, not that TNA fans wouldn't know WWE exists, but that is aside the point.

I think that if they are actually going with it, that he is not going to the WWE.

He will show up in TNA in a month and be all "Im a TNA ORIGINAL! SWERVE!"


Or maybe TNA is just that retarded. I mean most times when people leave they get jobbed out first, but that really isnt how this went down.

Russo is a horrible booker though, so you never know.

If he is in fact going to WWE, TNA may be trying to ruin the surprise like WCW tried when Mick Foley first won the WWF Championship.

Yeah, think this would be to ruin the surprise factor of everything. So they wouldn't be able to do a mysterious Jericho like return.

Although like 90 percent of people knew it was Jericho.

Plus, more people will read it on the net before it happens, more people than watch TNA.

yea, they kind of screwed themselves eathier way.

If he is going, well they already mentioned where he is going and kind of even played WWE up to be above TNA because they can offer more money.

If he is not going, well they kind of gave him a pretty good beatdown and nothing really to help Christian at all.

Well, it's natural for them and their fans to realize they're second fiddle at this point in time and that NY is the bigtime .
They're not as clever as Paul Heyman was in portraying the WWE and using it to their advantage, and how they send their wrestlers off. Whether it be positive or negative. He was able to make it seem like they were the premeire talent pool, or that the guy was selling out. Whichever looked better. But he never made it seem like they were the minor leagues, even if they were.
TNA is not so clever.

If he really is leaving, they should have done something with him to make someone look good, or have him sent off in a manner that makes them look good. Him being jobbed in a loser leaves town match and being dragged off kicking or screaming. Or putting his career up for a title shot and losing.
It's not really burial, it's just the honors. Maybe it's predictable or cliche, but it's a hell of a lot better than saying "he's moving on to bigger and better things because we don't cut it"

Plus, they're the secondary promotion. They're not in a position to be 'nice'. It wouldn't be immoral or anything. They're trying to compete, but nobody ever took on the top dog and caught them by shaking a lot of hands and being really cool to the guys walking out on them for a better check. At some point you gotta stop being Dixie Carter and start being Eric Bischoff.

They could make it look like he was a quitter, or a coward in some angle. They could also make it look like he was a TNA loyal who betrayed them and went back to the enemy.
It's called booking.

I realize they didn't have a ton of time, but all it takes is one small angle or impromptu storyline. It can be achieved over the course of a couple weeks. Shit, it could even be done in a promo if it was done right.

TNA isn't very good at handling situations. When the industry hands them lemons, they freeze up and talk to the fans straight. They don't do anything creative. They don't work within kayfabe. They just assume everyone who watches their show is a smart or doesn't know any better, so they come out and adress the situation rather than book around it.

The only times I've ever seen WWE backed into a corner like that is the Bret screwjob, or when active wrestlers died unexpectedly. Even in those situations, they handled it pretty simply and in most cases even ran with it in kayfabe.

TNA seems to resort to straight shooting every couple weeks, for minor mishaps. Similar to WCW in 2000.

Who the fuck cares?

This isn't 1991, I think all of TNA fans know damn good and well about WWE. And chances are the majority of the people who watch TNA, also watch WWE even if they don't want to admit it. On top of that, if there are people who watch TNA who don't watch WWE, probably won't start watching WWE if Christian goes back there.

Also, if Christian does stay with TNA this gives him a perfect angle to come back to. Supposedly Christian came up with this angle so it wouldn't harm the company and would give him something to do if he decides to stay in TNA.

No harm, no foul.

I don't think it's as much of a foul as it is shitty creative. Do something with what comes up, rather than issue statements.

Why not just have the booking team come out and give a speech about what they've come up with this week, who they're gonna push next week, what they decided on results for and so on? Fuck matches and storylines. It'd be much more direct than putting on a wrestling show. The fans all know that's how its done anyways right? Just read the runsheet.
I just feel as though they should do more to put on a kayfabe wrestling show rather than cater to their smark fans. That's always proven to be a fail.

Everyone knew Jericho was coming to WWE, doesn't mean it's stupid to try and book it as a suprise return. The marks out there who don't check ragsheets are the ones buying the merchandise and actually ordering the PPVs anyways, with their parents paychecks.

Not everyone who watches wrestling subscribes to online news sites and posts links to dirtsheet news. There are still marks in this world.

Why not just have the booking team come out and give a speech about what they've come up with this week, who they're gonna push next week, what they decided on results for and so on? Fuck matches and storylines. It'd be much more direct than putting on a wrestling show. The fans all know that's how its done anyways right? Just read the runsheet.
I just feel as though they should do more to put on a kayfabe wrestling show rather than cater to their smark fans. That's always proven to be a fail.
It played into the storyline.

Instead of having to join the M.E.M., Christian wanted to weight his options outside of TNA. The M.E.M. saw this as the ultimate disrespect so they took him out.

This opens the door for two things.

1. If Christian does not come back, the M.E.M. can take credit for running Christian out of the company.

2. Christian stays with TNA, he can get his revenge.

Even a non-internet mark TNA fan knows about WWE, it would be different if someone like Edge belittled Mick Foley for jumping to TNA. Because, well most of WWE's audience does not know about TNA and would give TNA much needed publicity from the number 1 wrestling company in North America.

That's the problem. Shit like the M.E.M
It's shit like the Millionaires club and stuff like that. It just doesnt work. Nor does coming out and making announcements like that.
Even if it's a work. It's ridiculous. It only plays into the 'kayfabe' because their kayfabe is written by people who think catering to smarks is a good idea.

To be honest, I think it's even worse if it's a work. It shows the incompetence of their booking if it's true. If it's a work however, it just goes to show how assbackwards their efforts really are. At least it being the truth would be them giving up on booking around it, rather than actually choosing to book this crap.

Partially, it is the point. WWE doesn't mention TNA because it's detrimental to promote the competition. But TNA is the competition, they're not really promoting WWE in any meaningful sense.

On the other hand, it's probably bad to actually admit it. If they learned that they're #2, they might work to get better. If they are essentially admitting it to the world...Not so much. Though as I already said, I'm not sure how much damage can be done at this point.

Or maybe TNA is just that retarded. I mean most times when people leave they get jobbed out first, but that really isnt how this went down.

Russo is a horrible booker though, so you never know.
Don't be ridiculous. Christian will return and reveal he was part of the Main Event Mafia ALL ALONG! Shock! Horror!
