No, really. It's not like we're talking the return of The Rock here. Christian is an upper mid-carder. And even then, the occasional surprise return is fantastic. People watching the show got a massive reward for tuning in, and any good that hyping Christian's return would have done will be achieved via Christian's return to the brand, anyway.

Good way to miss the mark again noid. ECW has horrible rating. By teasing a big name is coming back to ECW, and do the teasing on Raw and Smackdown as well, so people might actaully give a shit, that would have created ratings instead of rewarding all 3 people that watch ECW on a weekly basis.

It is one thing to have someone just show up on raw or a ppv unannounced to prove anything can happen it is completely different for having someone show up on the c show unannounce, it is saying he is unimportant. Plus he is just forced into a story line that doesn't make any sence.

If people give a shit about Christian, they will probably feel more urgency to tune in now that he's debuted, and they're missing him being awesome. Whether you hype it or not, the end result is that Christian is a part of ECW. People who watch RAW or SmackDown! are going to find out, and the same thing will be achieved. But it just so happens it also rewards viewers of the show, and of the WWE, who tune in loyally each week in hopes that something good will happen.

I do think they should have announced Christian having some sort of role at No Way Out, though. A backstage segment between Theodore Long and Christian were they discussed Christian being at the PPV to scout, or just something so that RAW or SmackDown! fans who missed his return would be coerced into buying the PPV.

Also, how does this program not make sense? Theodore Long signed Christian to an ECW contract because Christian wants to come back and make an impact by winning the ECW Title? Yeah, Christian returning after three years to run around with old rivals makes a lot more sense.

They can do that later, when Christian is both more established and more comfortable.

Couldn't agree any more.

Juan - Granted...my Flair introducing Christian scenario would've been somewhat illogical (I even admitted as such), but atleast it would have put Christian over big time.....although admittedly, there MIGHT have been a lukewarm/slightly disappointed crowd reaction if the fans were expecting Flair to introduce a bigger name. Still - my point remains.

It's just mind numbingly stupid to waste Christian's return on ECW. Hopefully - the 3 people that actually watch ECW on a weekly basis are happy.

i don't get it.

If they would have hyped up his debut in ECW, people would give a shit, but now, since he just randomly debuted on ECW, the people who would have watched ECW for his debut wont watch when they eventually find out he has already debuted???

It has nothing to do with whether people knew about his debut or not.

My whole point is that him being a part of the ECW roster is mind numbingly stupid....when you consider the fact that almost no one watches ECW.

Instead of 3 people watching ECW, perhaps 4 will now watch due to Christian's presence.
