Christian...really. they picked the most over the hill and least over guy to fight for the title in their 3rd biggest ppv of the year? Yuck. Christian is terrible. So is Adam West, John Cusack and George Clooney.

So the Christian/Del Rio feud continues... Hooray. Hopefully this just means Del Rio will continue his reign as world heavyweight champion

Christian? Christian? At last he's on his own but really in the championship match at The Summerslam? This guarantees he'll win and Sandow will cash in.

2ND biggest PPV of the year. It pains me to admit but Orton should probably have been the one to go over. Christian needs more of a gradual build to another World Heavyweight Championship match, and R.V.D., although looking better than ever has simply not been back near long enough for another WWE or World Heavyweight Championship match at this point.

Here's the thing with Christian...
His face run as champion on ECW was amazing to me. His promos and the random things he did during his matches to make the heel look silly like the slide between the top two turnbuckles into a kick in the face were awesome little things that he could only do as a face. He seems like he has fun with being a face when he's not asked to carry the company or anything. I like it. I might have gone with RVD vs ADR for SummerSlam because it's a bigger draw and I don't think ADR is gonna lose to title to anyone at SummerSlame anyway but Christian getting some mic time in a main event feud is a good thing. |

So Christian will likely win the title at SummerSlam only to get cashed in on by Sandow. Fuck you WWE. I don't see any scenario where that doesn't happen. Ideally, have Christian win, have Sandow try to cash in only to have Cody beat the shit out of Sandow before he can. As a result, Christian rewards Cody with a title shot at whatever October's PPV is called. Or drag it out. Have Christian beat Del Rio at SummerSlam and the September PPV, beat Sandow and Barrett at the October PPV, and have team Christian vs Team Del Rio at Survivor Series with the title on the line. Del Rio, Sandow, Barrett, Fandango, and Curtis Axel vs. Team Christian consisting of Christian, Cody Rhodes, RVD, The Miz, and a returning Kofi. Winning captain gets the title, but anyone on your team left standing gets a title shot at TLC. Set that up for Christian vs. Cody vs. Kofi vs. RVD at TLC in a ladder match for the WHC.

Out of the three, Christian was a good choice.
Unless the idea is for Orton to win both titles, no real reason why he's going to get involved in another title feud when he has the bigger WWE title to go after because of his MitB case. RVD just came back and would make a Del Rio vs RVD match a bit too obvious in Del Rio keeping the title. Christian has history with Del Rio and is reliable enough to put on a good match with him. Doubt he's going to win at Summerslam but it does give Del Rio a new feud to work with. |

I feel like RVD winning the title would have been more likely than Christian winning the title. If it was RVD vs Del Rio, I might think they would try to ride the hype for RVD being back to the WHC, which would actually raise it's prestige a little in my opinion.
Christian has kinda leveled out and at this point he seems more like just the guy they threw in as a default because Ziggler's moving on to Big E. |

I wonder if we get RVD vs Orton at SummerSlam now. Could be a pretty awesome match.

I'm glad Christian won, for purely sentimental reasons. And come on, Del Rio vs. Christian is an awesome match and there is plenty of history there for them to play off. I actually feel like Christian is elevated by earning this title shot. I'm not sure if he will win the title or not, but I would mark out if he did. They could bill it as his "one more match." Are people really invested in that story? Hmm, they might be after Christian beats Orton and RVD in a Triple Threat Match. They're at least trying to make people care about Captain Charisma.
This feels like a courtesy push to me, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. |

Alex Riley is a pretty good commentator, too. He's not JBL good, but he managed to make me kind of like The Miz and want to see him succeed as a babyface. It'll be interesting to hear how Riley puts over Christian and gets the audience involved in his story.

Even though I read the spoilers, I will still mark out when I see Christian win. I will be overcome with joy which will help me overcome the desire to rip that greasy grotesque moustache right off of Gertner's fat fucking face.

In all seriousness, Christian isn't over and should be a jobber to the stars. You can hear crickets when he comes out. Pretty sad.

Like a "Kill RVD Match". First person to render RVD incapable of ever wrestling again gets the title.

Wish I could take back all of my KOTF votes for Gertner now. He just stabbed me in the chest with the Adam West remark. Feel like he verbally ripped out my heart.
