The reason WWE are so big on him was in 1996 he was signed to a lucritive 10 year contract after the Atlanta Olympics, the whole transexual/May Young storyline was obviously trying to humiliate him (as he is a legitimate athlete) so that he quits and they don't have to pay him a penny.
The Royal Rumble has a habit of putting non-main event competitors in title matches (remember Hardcore Holly vs. Brock Lesnar?). They're usually just fillers as they want as many main eventers in the Royal Rumble, so to cause confusion as to who wins. They're doing a pretty good job, as I have no idea who will win the rumble.
like rhys said the contract will end this year, so i bet this is the last run they will give the big guy.
Hey KX, if got time please check out http://www.aopw.net
Singapore's Wrestling Forum. Hope your friends rhys and jorell join also!
oh yeah, If I rem correctly, that lucrative contract was worth 10 millions...just imagine with that kind of money, they could have hold on to Christian and whichever wrestler that was cut due to cost cutting measures.
I did not know about the $10 million/10 year deal. Geez...Talk about a bad business decision... :D

But yeah, I also read that this was probably his last run in the WWE. Thank God...Cause watching him in the ring brings tears to my eyes. And not in a good way. |
