No. I refuse to acknowledge the bullshit they are feeding us to try and make it OK for him to lose cleanly. All I see is him losing.

I don't know if moron is the right word. Idiot if you want. Listen, I know I have unrealistic expectations for guys that I enjoy sometimes but only to an extent and I don't think this is one of those times. Do I expect Christian to be World Heavyweight Champion tomorrow? No. But he is off a hot return and instead of embracing it, they are jobbing him out cleanly. It doesn't matter how it happens, the bottom line is that he's jobbing. I just had hoped that they would use him a little bit better. Don't know why everyone is wishing death upon me here for wanting one of my favorite wrestlers to be used correctly.

People just disagree with the suggestion that he isn't being used correctly. He's in a program with the ECW Champion. He started off strong, and got two pins over the guy. Now it's Swagger's time to really get in the head of Christian, so that when they do start to build more directly to WrestleMania, there is a "which way will it go" drama.
Personally, I would have put the faces over in that main event, though. Christian could have pinned The Miz, or something. |

Do I think he's being mismanaged? Yeah. Could they do better? Again, yeah. But really, it's Christian. Not The Rock, not Stone Cold, not even RVD or Booker T. To Vince, Christian is that same guy who walked out 3 years ago as a midcarder on not that great terms and went to TNA (the "competition"). He's not going to get super duper winning streaks fresh out of Florida, and it's only been a month. |

Cleanly though? That's what I don't agree with. They're just showing that they don't give a shit about him making him job clean. Swagger is a heel and would lose nothing from getting a cheat win. But if they did that then they couldn't piss all over Christian I guess.

Swagger cheating isn't the way to go, in my opinion. Swagger's character is that he wins clean. He's a wrestling prodigy, and like Brock Lesnar, he's a heel with an amateur wrestling background and some size to him that is a legitimate threat. Or is meant to be, anyway. Swagger has gone cleanly over well respected guys like Tommy Dreamer, Finlay and Matt Hardy, and cleanly ended the undefeated streak of Ricky Ortiz. Why should he have to cheat with Christian? If anything, it makes Swagger's claims of being a wrestling prodigy paper-thin, and Christian beating him means nothing.
Christian has also made a career for himself being a slimy heel in the WWE. He knows all the bad guy tricks, so he shouldn't fall for them. If Swagger goes over Christian, it should be because he has size and technique over Christian, due to his past and natural gifts. Christian should be winning with his experience and cunning. In fact, I'd like to see some spots where Swagger tries to cheat Christian over, but The Canadian Rage is always a step ahead, and manages to completely reverse the situation on Swagger. I'd also like to see JBL manage Swagger. I think Jack is pretty damn competent on the mic, if you ask me, but he's just lacking that extra support to make his quick ECW Title win seem like a really big deal. JBL could get behind the guy, and really capitalise his heat. |

I also wouldn't consider the way Christian was pinned as being "clean."

How was it not clean? Swagger tagged in, hit his finisher, and pinned him.

I don't need to watch it to understand what is happening. They are trying to do things to distract people from the fact that Christian is just cleanly jobbing on the C show.

I would also like to point out that D'Lo Brown won his first couple matches back as well...

No, they aren't comparable because D'Lo Brown didn't lose til probably his 4th or 5th match.

I don't think D'Lo pinned the champ on Raw two weeks in a row though.

Also, enough with this Champ stuff. It's not like Xtian came in and beat Cena on his first night back. He's on the C show here. Come on now.

So why does it matter so much that he lost to c-champ on the c-show (IN A TAG MATCH at that)? You can't have it both ways.
You're looking at this whole thing as a smark though. In kayfabe, Christian beat the champ two weeks in a row, which means something in the WWE Universe. |

They have a champion who doesn't use the ropes or a chair shot to win his match. Really not seeing the problem.

Just was expecting more from the Christian return I guess. I guess I'll just have to deal with them turning him into the next Tommy Dreamer.

You're overreacting man. Like WAY over overreacting. If you honestly think thin Christian is gonna be the next Tommy Dreamer because he's lost TWICE in his 4 matches, you're crazy.

Hey, remember when Punk was getting jobbed out as champion and you all said he'd rebound?
What happened with that again? |

Not regaining the WHC doesn't mean he didn't rebound. The guy is in the middle of a nice IC title run.

Not regaining main event status after being a main eventer isn't rebounding?
Once you're champion, you're considered a main eventer for at least a years, or at least SHOULD be. And Punk's title isn't even on the line at Mania, which shows how much that title is worth. |

I said it was a stupid move to put the title on him then and a worse move to take it off him like they did and that he is finally back where he should be. I'm right is what happened to that.

That only lasted a month or two. Now he's in a major feud leading into Mania.
I'm not saying it's right, because again, you should have solid main event status once you win a world title, but his and Punk's situations aren't the same. |

If they want to have Swagger take on Christian at Mania, they need to give him some heat. Being a wrestling wunderkind is nice, but if the guy you're meant to be facing has pinned you twice then it's moot. The way they're doing it now builds up both guys, a returning Christian for the new audience who isn't familiar with his previous work, and the rookie Swagger, so that by the time we get to Mania there won't be this feeling of "piss break while Christian wins the title." And there isn't, because now you all think they're burying Christian.
