Since when did a good crowd reaction signify 'the next star'?

You're wrong on all three counts. Christian was hit by the glass ceiling, and you can't deny that. He really could have been a big star. Carlito still has time, despite what you may believe.

And RVD? I guess the fact that he's been getting huge pops ever since his arrival in WWE, and that Vince had enough faith in his star power to put the WWE title AND ECW title on him..at the same time, no less..means nothing to you? It's his fault he screwed up that.

The funny thing is Jaton, is when RVD got to run with both ECW and WWE titles, he wasn't particularly over with the crowd. When he was super-over, back in the Invasion days, when he was out-popping Austin while in the ring with him (the Punk thing at SS reminded me of that actually), he got buried.

Christian was getting huge pops - even in England (I know as I was there) to the extent of altering the crowd noise so it seemed like he wasn't, he got a HUGE reaction during his in-ring interview with McMahon, glass ceiling my arse - result, Buried.

Carlito was, a few weeks ago, getting huge pops despite the fact that he's been woefully underused. Now, he's getting buried with 2 minutes of screen time a week and a pointless rehash of an angle with Masters.
