Title: Based on all this groovy Christian air time lately

Does anyone else think they just might actually shit or get off the pot with him as a top-tier player? He has been in two high profile segments in two weeks. I think a trade to Smackdown as a heel challenger for Cena might be a good move. Especially since God knows there will not be any long reigning babyface champions on Raw in the next five or so years.
For some reason I also think it's very possible that he and Tomko will aid THE H in regaining the championship on Sunday and thus forming a new Evolution. I actually kinda like the idea other than the fact that it has no great exit plan except for the template already set by Batista/Orton.
I do think that if they go that route though, there is potential in Christian as a sniveling, weasely, willing yes man for The H, the antithesis of what Orton and later Batista became -- until he too inevitably came full circle and wanted the gold for himself. But like I said, the problem with that is it has a great entry plan but a lousy exit plan. He either wins the belt or he doesn't, but either way it goes back to The H.
Or maybe I am just dreaming and he really is "too small" (although bigger than Michaels) to main event. But I hope he gets his chance.

I think Smackdown is more likely, but I love the Evolution idea. I'm really not at all a fan of Christian's but I could see he and Tomko working great in a new Evolution.

I don't really care, but either way he needs to be pushed.

It would probably benefit Smackdown to have him over Raw as they are in need of more people who can make others look good and retain some credibility on the mic. Christian can do that. The New Evolution idea is a good one that I think they kind of hinted at this past week on RAW with the Evolution sticker on Trips locker room door too. But they have also hinted at him challenging Cena for the WWE title at some point too. Either way, it looks good for Christian.

He would be a good addition to SD, IMO.

Man I hope so. I am still slightly bitter than I never got my Benoit/Christian PPV Title match last year when Benoit had the belt. I thought for sure when he got Tomko and Trish added to his act and they were giving him the hard push that was where they were going.

I would rather have Christian be a World Champion than Edge if he stays on RAW. He has natural charisma, isn't too bad of a wrestler, and keeps getting kick ass entrances.
Which reminds me... last night while watching the pilot episode of Smackdown, Jim Cornette said The Brood are three stars of the future (well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad), and right now, both E&C are in positions to be main eventers. Go Cornette!

Go Cornette! Yeah...he's awesome. He's right up there with Heenan. :D
There's something about Edge I don't want as a champion. I mean...I called JBL as a soon to be Champ and didn't mind. Edge, I can't.

Cornette is my hero and yeah, I think the third member of the Brood would've been a star too had he been able to find a niche in the post-Russo era.

I always liked Gangrel... too bad Vince didn't care for him because
A. He had a bit of a gut
B. Sold too much in his debut match with Scott Taylor (or maybe it was Brian Christopher)
C. Was a heel, but smiled all the damn time.
Still, one of my favorite entrances of all time (in WWE).
