Likewise....had to do a double take. Probably would have made a better champion than Christian though. :pac:

As we said, however, Christian is still considered to be a quality worker and a reliable hand for WWE, and we were even told that a possible producer/agent position might be available for him when his wrestling days are over, but as far as Christian ever working at the top of a WWE brand, that seems to be a very unlikely possibility.

OK I'm sorry but this is just disgraceful How can they think that? Since watching wrestling since i was young that's the first time in a long while that Ive seen so much emotion come from a title win. It's the way wrestling should be. I can understand that they want Randy to be the top dog on Smackdown but for god's sake can they not give Christian a chance? The whole crowd that was present at ER jumped to there feet after he won. Which was a change from the usual Cena reaction. I just don't understand why there cant at least have a go with Christian as top dog. They trusted him as top dog at ECW once. Why not Smackdown?

With the loss of Edge, the apparent loss of Taker except for Mania appearances, and Mysterio going to Smackdown, everyone who the old show was built around at all levels is now gone. I can understand the hate towards Orton as everyone wants Christian to get his chance but if you are building the show from scratch again, realistically you can't do it around a first time Champion.

On top of this, WWE never leave a first time champion have a good run. Look at Miz. He was a side show to Rock/Cena through the whole Mania build up. I think everyone here would agree that if the Rock hadn't come back for Mania, the Miz would have dropped the title at the Rumble to Cena so that Cena could have the title going into Mania, and have the show built around him.

The exact same thing is happening here. Orton went to Smackdown so the show is revolving around him. Christian isn't going to be champion as long as they are re-building Smackdown!. The most likely chance of him having a shot at the title again is if they book him to win MITB when that PPV comes around. And even at that, he'd probably be the first guy to not cash it in successfully.

God that name plate looks like plastic!!

I knew there was something up when I seen that. They would have left it blank until they got the engraved name plate.

As much as it pains me to say it, the truth is the majority of wrestling fans will likely like this result; the internet fanbase may hate the switch but I can promise you the casual mark (who make up the majority of the WWE Universe) will prefer Orton as champ, simply cause he's built as being more important.

seeing a title change would be an unexpected bonus to be fair to them, very rarely changes on raw or smackdown anymore

Hehe, I know I nearly died when Kc James and ...um....someone Idol "beat" London and Kendrick for the tag titles back at a house show in Dublin a few years back. Loved Londrick but the thoughts of seeing a title change live was amazing. I'd imagine it would be ten-fold for an actual world title change....

Belt was always going to end up with Orton, but by Christian, why not actually make a ****ing story out of it? I want to give them a chance, but it seems they can't get ANYTHING right.

MAJR · 05-05-2011 2:39pm

Ok sure, we knew Orton was going to be the main man on Smackdown - however bad a performer he may be - but treating Christian like this is shameful. The WWE could at least give him a chance rather that just dismissing him as not up to the task of main-eventing. Look at Austin, Jericho, Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, all of them were dismissed by WCW as only being good enough for the mid-card but the WWE gave them a chance and they all worked brilliantly in the main-event. It's just because the WWE doesn't have any credible opposition that they think they can get away with pushing charima-less, second rate wrestlers like Orton to the main event while keeping performers of much higher standard like Christian down.

newballsplease · 05-05-2011 2:45pm

Im sure the Kids in America love to see Orton with the belt. Thats all WWE think about.

a) Smackdown doesnt have the heel support to carry a champion like Christian

b) They probably think Christian would be better chasing the title then defending it.

If anything SD has more heels i.e. Wade Barrett, Sheamus, Cody Rhodes and Mark Henry

Orton's tweet:

"Biggest change from Raw to Smackdown...Ignorance x Jealousy + Spoilers = entertaining tweets!! Keep em coming!!"

Would have me guessing that Randy is going heel.

Quantity not quality. None of them are draws.

They're much, much more likely to turn Christian if anybody.

Is Orton really a big draw?

Raw had very very low numbers when he was champ. I dunno if thats anything to go by. :P

GTR63 · 05-05-2011 5:49pm

God I love people saying guys ain't draws & tag team wrestling doesn't draw when ppv numbers are falling by the month.Bar Nostalgiamania which needed The Rock so badly to get that illusive 7 figure buy rate.

riffmongous · 05-05-2011 5:51pm

Who else is there on Smackdown that can actually challenge for the belt? Kane or Henry? :P

On a relative basis he is

Handsome Bob · 05-05-2011 7:56pm

Jericho's take:

Hey everyone *****ing about @Christian4Peeps losing the title, have u ever thought that maybe it's just the beginning of a bigger storyline?

Now I did consider this before I was leaving work, but I just don't believe that Vince will put the strap back on Christian.

That being said, this could be a fantastic way of *really* getting Christian over, I mean main event over. Also, if he does somehow get back the title, he'll have earned it off his own back, and not just because Edge retired and Del Rio had to move brands.

riffmongous · 05-05-2011 8:32pm

I could imagine it might turn out to be part of a bigger story alright, but I still can't see Christian being champ at the end of it. And I could also imagine it being scraped half way through if Vince lost faith and then Christian is left in the mid card again
