777,
Welll...
Except that most GMs just don't make a GMPC. So, introducing the idea of a GM Champion character, then you are introducing a lot of groups to a previously undiscovered element.
Also, generally, there is not a good way to run a GMPC. I mean, there are three typical scenarios with GMPCs:
1) GMPC has nothing new to add to the particular situation.
2) GMPC has something to contribute, but is not the only one.
3) GMPC is the only one who can add something to this situation. The first two are obvious how to handle. This particular problem is critical. One, how did it end up like this? Two, how does the GM handle this without stealing the spotlight?

Frankly the champion idea is still just an idea, do you read manga or watch anime? An example of a champion-type character would be Urahara from BLEACH or the Third Hokage from Naruto, basically they'd be very powerful, however would mostly be found only in a suporting or mentor type role. I dunno, maybe I'll just scrap the whole thing...
