Originally posted by Amos CochranI think Christian would've gotten a more decisive beatdown in on him if that were the case. Shit was left hanging. And if that WERE the case why not just job Christian to Edge, or pair Edge up with someone different? I think they know what they've got with those two.
Vince views Christian as a midcarder. He always has. Christian as a character was never hotter or more over than he was in '05 and Vince still wouldn't give him the Main Event push. Christian is on Smackdown to guide a very young Smackdown roster and be a mentor.

Yeah okay. You just used conjecture as well. I believe Meltz and others mentioned Christian left back in '05 because Vince pretty much told him that he viewed him as a midcarder .Nothing that has happened since Christian returned would suggest otherwise.Gotta laugh at your comments anyway acting like you can read the WWE bookers minds when it comes to what happened between Christian and Edge.

I don't think anyone would disagree that Vince HAS viewed Christian as a midcarder - but that doesn't preclude the possibility of him getting so over they can't ignore it anymore, or them getting desperate and not having anyone else to turn to, or some combination of the two.
Was it ever established that Christian was to be the one to feud with Jeff early in 2009 for his return angle? I remember the story went that the crowds deduced Christian was attacking Jeff (throwing him down stairs and sabotaging his pyro), and Vince was so upset by the correct prediction that he made Matt the bad guy and moved Christian to ECW.
That initial plan would suggest some confidence in Christian's commodity.

Christian was one of the most over guys on the roster back in '05 and he didn't get the Main Event push. I hope he does get the push but I'm skeptical.

Difference between '05 and '10 is Vince has shown more of a willingness to move guys up the roster, and the roster is much thinner on established upper tier wrestlers.
