Let's give Christian credit. He has shown that he can survive mediore (at best) booking, horrible plots and past-their-prime talent to make us even give a damn about TNA. Maybe Vinny is saying to Christian that he is looking for him to charge ECW. You guys were happy to see Matt Hardy with the silver strap, why not be excited with Christian owning the strap. Maybe we'll see a cross brand alliance with two brothers who've always wanted to be World Champs at the same time...

I really don't see the problem with Christian debuting on ECW. WWE gets criticized constantly for blowing their load too quick on certain angles, and when they swerve the lot of you by NOT booking an angle that we've all been waiting for for months, they still get criticized. Plus, I'm pretty sure once the Draft comes around, he'll end up on either Raw or Smackdown.

I don't have too much of a problem with it, either. I'm glad that he's back on WWE TV, and in some ways I actually prefer seeing him heading up ECW at this point instead of him getting lost in the midcard shuffle on Raw or Smackdown. Let him have a run with the ECW title, build up interest in the show for a change, and see where it goes from there.
The return could've been done a little better, though. First of all the new remix of his theme bites -- where the hell is the kick ass instrumental? It would've been better to have that interrupt Swagger than a crappy remix that had me confused for a second before I saw "CHRISTIAN" on the titantron. The promo itself was fine, and the crowd actually seemed interested in ECW for a change. I don't mind the idea of a Christian/Swagger feud, or even making it a three way feud with Finlay in there, too. Let Christian carry the slack on the mic for the feud, and Swagger's bound to benefit from working more with Finlay. In the long run it'll be good for Swagger, and maybe he'll actually be prepared for another title run in June or whenever Christian gets drafted away from ECW. At least between Christian and T.J. Wilson I have a reason to pay attention to ECW now. |

Yeah, I am still failing to see how pinning the ECW Champion on his return match is a bad thing. Especially seeing as how Swagger had only lost once before that.

I'm only too cool for school because school is shown at midnight on Friday (technically Saturday). If it aired in Canada the same time as it does in the States I'd probably watch regularly. ECW is never too bad. Wrestling wise it's usually pretty good.

That's assuming truth, but it's not unlike WWE to take the logical progression and throw it in the trash to fool us. Then again, Christian quit because Vince thought he was nothing more than a mid-carder. Why should this be different? lolattemptedantrificialcontradiction. |

Well, it's different when you aren't able to watch it, but when people completely dismiss it because "WWE doesn't give us a reason to care" is when it gets ridiculous.

I'm not saying people HAVE to watch ECW, but don't dismiss it and downplay what happens on ECW just because you CHOOSE not to watch or because it doesn't live up to your standards.

Not that it matters either way, but the belt is platinum, not silver.
Also, there are always at least 2 promos for ECW during the Raw telecast. |

What a waste. All they had to do was have Christian return on SmackDown this Friday night during a segment with Edge. That would've been awesome. Why couldn't he have beaten Edge on SmackDown?

Because Edge is the WWE Champion and #1 heel on SD! going into a PPV to defend his championship and probably get ready to headline the biggest WrestleMania of all time...

It makes sense to put him on ECW. After jumping ship he's not immediately going to get pushed into the main event picture, but he's too over to get shuffled into the midcard. The ECW title is somewhere in between, and a logical place to put him.
The return itself was weak sauce though. |

1) WHO BOOKED THIS, FIRE THEM.
2) His music is awesome. 3) At least he's back, ffs. 4) This is the first I've ever watched Jack Swagger, minus this program with Christian - probably the last. |

I personally thought it was a bit lame having him return on ECW. He could have at least been on Smackdown, but, none-the-less when his music hit the crowd went fucking nuts and it sent chills down my back. I'm glad he's got the same music (though slightly remixed) coz I always thought that suited him very well.

I don't get it, people complain about not having any reason to watch ECW. I think they just gave a few people a reason.
