TNA was piff in 2006 :lawd: sucks that Christian never got a TNA World Heavyweight title reign though. Then the way he went out getting his ass kicked by the Main Event Mafia, and the way he returned on ECW :huhldup:

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 :lawd:

^That's the thing - people need to stop saying he should have had Edge's spot or comparing the two. He should have had a spot in addition to Edge.

TNA should have done better by Christian. I think they realized that when they brought him back last year. He was the guy that made jumps like Angle possible. He had a great run and felt like a big deal there. And the core audience enjoyed it because it was the same group of people who felt he got shafted by the E.

I still wonder if this is really the reason Christian didn't get that green light :russ:

and btw, OG "Just Close Your Eyes" is a GOAT theme. His best and its not even close (unless you count the Brood). Even the TNA ripoff was fire.

A part of me thought it was kinda dope :birdman:

Need to bring back that 2004 theme that debuted at Survivor Series

And he was better than Edge for a considerable time...when he was the Hollywood Rock sidekick and changed his gimmick into "Peeps" and Captain Charisma. He was ready for the main event but they choose and take who they want to main event..proven in this era MORE THAN EVER. Ryback should of been a big deal but they chose to preserve Punk over him and now he's a joke. Bryan was better than Sheamus at his job but they chose to push Sheamus and hand out his catchphrase to multiple stars and dragged him in a tag team where he was a tweener most of the time. Slick shyt.

:wtf::mindblown:

This thread has NOTHING to do with CM Punk or Daniel Bryan.

Christian was great, though. Probably should've won a world title in WWE long before 2011, but with all of the sustained world title pushes that were happening in 2004-2005 (Brock to Eddie to JBL to Cena on SmackDown; Hunter to Benoit to Orton to Hunter to Batista on RAW), there was really no room to slot him in without fukking up major storylines. It doesn't excuse them for blatantly trying to kill his heat in every manner possible in 2005 and not turning him face when the fans desperately wanted it, but he probably did much better for himself than we realize by going to TNA than just resigning with WWE.

It has nothing to do with Lita, Edge, or anyone else either. Stop being a little girl. A comparison was gonna be made on him regardless because of him having to deal with politics and not having it as easy as those mentioned. Do you need things explained to you in elementary terms now? I can gladly oblige.

As for the little RVD fan..the Rock is how Christian went to the next level and why this thread even is possible.
