krease 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 This could make a pretty good setup for Christian vs HHH, though it might not be done to keep Christian on the slow-burn and/or save it for Cena... Remember after Christian's match, Flair came up and did his little "HHH will win rap"; so next week Christian can come out and basically rub it in - "C'mon, you couldn't even beat a concussed man with help from your buddy Flair?"

slimm44 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 I think it's a sign Christian isn't doing so great on RAW, so I think he will be traded on Smackdown. But I'm sure HHH will give him a nice send off if the match did happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted May 3, 2005 It would be HHH hitting the Pedigree within 30 seconds of the match starting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 I think Christian/Flair is more likely. After all, Christian has had more interactions with Flair than he has the Tripster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Christian vs. Flair would be great, if for no other reason that Christian would have a better chance of winning. However since Trips wont be in the main event of the new Raw PPV the question begs to be asked, if not Christian who gets the pleasure of jobbing to Triple H?

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Christian's been getting cheers recently. As fun as it has been, it's no good for a heel, evenmoreso if you are trading him to another brand to fued with its Champion. If he is to lose to the pedigree, then fair enough. It'll stop some of the cheers. The only problem then is selling a PPV based on Christian vs. John Cena and fans thinking Christian even has a chance. No chance = no buys. On the other hand, vs. Flair he may still get cheers, and having him switch to face Cena could then split fans. Again, not good. And I don't think they would be stupid enough to have him lose to HHH and then beat John Cena. At least, I don't think they would... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Yeah right. Losing to HHH would kill Christian's credibility. Never mind that he jobbed to Kane in three minutes on Raw, or that he lost to Batista in a glorified handicap match the week before. Never mind that he has 3 wins and 15 losses on Raw this year. He's still a completely legitimate main eventer until he loses to HHH. Some of you people just amaze me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 It's odd that Christian has been a glorified jobber thus far on Raw this year and yet once they gave him the slightest notion of a push he started getting fans. I think he is certainly going to SMDN at this point...what else can they do with him? And if that's the case I can see the logic in not having him win vs. Kane last night. Why job out a guy who will be there to a guy that is leaving? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if you've watched Raw in the last month or so, but HHH doesn't have the world title. And don't even say that he'd have won it back by then because the proposal was that HHH would face Christian while Batista was busy with the winner of the tournament.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Oh, OK, I get that now, but you're still completely ignoring the initial point completely. The point is that he just got destroyed two weeks in a row, but people still think that he's got enough credibility to challenge Cena unless he loses to HHH. There's nothing "magic" about jobbing to HHH that makes you any less over than jobbing to someone like Kane. If anything, jobbing to HHH should hurt you less since he's presented as being so strong.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Jobbing to Triple H doesn't always mean the guy doing the job comes out less over, but it happens more often than not. In addition to that, almost nobody jobs to Triple H and comes out stronger, so while it's not guaranteed that Christian will lose something in jobbing to Triple H, he almost certainly won't gain anything from it either, Assuming he does wrestle Triple H, Triple H probably should win, but the match should still be competitive so that Christian gains something by going toe-to-toe with Triple H.

Promoter 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Kane v. Batista anyone? It'll give the whole "Batista really can beat a monster".. thinger. That match sucked the big one on the raod to WrestleMania and made Batista look lumbering. That's why I believe either HBK or Benoit will be used to help make Batista look good. Of course, the idea of Edge winning with Lita screwing Kane is a possibility. Yeah, they are jobbing Christian out. I mean I understood it when Razor Ramone/Diesel were getting jobbed out in 1996 before leaving for wcw, but raw/smackdown? It did lead to Hall and Nash becoming the hottest guys in the industry, but......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I know, I know...I don't get it either, this jobbing someone who is going to another show. I mean hell, it's not like it's a REAL new start. You just go from one WWE brand to another. See, when a guy is jobbed and goes from WWF to WCW no one thinks anything of it (even a mark realizes a guy was just cashing the paycheck his last month or so there before coming to a new company). But jobbing a guy out and sending him to SMDN? It presents a problem in that it makes him look weak now, and then makes SMDN look weak when he starts winning there.
