I mean he wont even have to carry any weight in the handicaps. Does Invasor vs. Corinthian get you excited? It is not really a knock on the horse but the times in which he is running.
He reminds me so much of the great high school player that has the impressive track record that has yet to be matched up against the big boys. Except there dont seem to be any big boys. You want a really scary senario for the older horse division? Think how bad it would be without him?

I know what you are saying, and agree basically. I think so much of Invasor I would love to see any and all match-ups that would prove his potential greatness. Like you said there are not a wealth of stars standing around for him to conquer. To be fair though the BC win over Bernardini was quite impressive. Bernardini didn't stay around long enough to really make his mark but I know he was no slouch. Going to the PC against LavaMan would be one matchup that would definitely highlight his dominance if he were to win. I really wish it would happen but I suspect it won't.
No, Invasor vs. Corinthian does not get me excited. I think maybe his mark will be one of consistancy more so than having defeated any big names as the names don't exist. For example continuing his unbroken string of G1 victories until he retires.
