Christian at Slammiversary?

[Asherdelampyr]

Possibly, but he was removed from wrestling at house shows to do a 2 minute promo. Either way, if he did phone it in its a shame, but overall not a big loss for the PPV.

yeah, his part wasn't big enough for him to really fuck anything up, which makes me think that Dixie is not the one who decided how he would be used, since she just doesn't strike me as that cautious. I do wonder if they tried to get him for a match first and then settled on the presentation. Given the option I would have tapped him to be the guest ref for Bobby/Sting. I think it would have added to it.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of him, but being there added nothing to the show, at all really. If it was a surprise appearance then yeah, but it had been advertised so it didn't really have a purpose.

here's the scenario I had in mind.

Show Hulk talking on the phone to someone before the match, something like "Yeah Brother, can't wait to see you, this is a huge favor,"
etc, etc.

main event time, announce him as the guest ref, make no mention of him beforehand, and for fucks sake, electrocute the commentary team if you have to but make them sound excited to see him.
have him ref the title match, looking for all the world like the typical face special referee. then, at the last second have him refuse to count the pin on Bobby, take out Sting with the title, and count Bobby as the winner.

Young guy still wins, Sting looks strong, and people will talk about Christian screwing him over for months.
