Christian was great but they wouldn't let him get to the top of the card. It had nothing to do with Edge, separate issue. They were pushing him and Jericho aside for Cena. There was no reason why Christian couldn't have feuded with Cena or been a bigger deal, but they treated him like a joke.
Everyone knew that Christian was great in 03-04 and everyone wondered why he wasn't used more.
I will say that Edge/Lita and the Rated R Superstar made me forget about Trish and Christian, because the chemistry and nuclear levels of heat were not there the way Edge and Lita had it, but that's just because Christian wasn't really fukking Trish Stratus...and once Edge hit his stride in the mic in 05 with those ether promos
