Christian has pretty much silenced the critics.

[Crush1]

Well, well, well. I remember that once upon a time a group of people on the Internet were very skeptic about Christians return to the WWE. They said that he was going to fail and end up like Braden Walker. That ECW was the worst place for him to start out. Well my friends Christian has proved all of those people wrong. He's over, competed in every pay-per-view since his return and is the ECW champion. Christian is very entertaining and the powerhouse of ECW. He's waaaaay better off than he was in TNA.

Now hes being pushed, promoted and appreciated everywhere. It's only a matter of time before Captain Charisma moves on to bigger and better things. Do you guys agree with me that Christian has become a great champion and entertainer than he was before? and that he proved all of those naysayers wrong? I think that Christian has made it and that he's got more and better things ahead of him.

 

[JBK2008]

I supported Christian going to ECW. At the time, it was the best logical place for him and the best way for him to get back into the swing of the WWE and get reconnected with the fans. He's done a great job on that brand and will continue to do a great job. I don't think he'll be moving brands any time soon, but when he does I fully expect him to hit the main event scene and win one of the bigger titles in the company.

Way to go Christian and keep it up because it's only going to get better from here on out.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Maybe you are talking about a different Christian, because I seem to remember people acting like it was the second coming of Jesus when he returned. People were saying he was getting screwed by Vince since he was on ECW and that he should be World Champion on either Raw or SmackDown.

Is Christian talented? Yeah, he's talented. Does he deserve to go much higher up the ladder than where he is? No. He is an upper midcarder and is good in that role. He would do well in occasionally moving up to feud with a main eventer, but he don't think he is at a place to move up. He is the number one face on a show, and is doing very well where he is. Maybe in a year or two he can move up, but right now he is in the perfect place.

 

[Mr. TM]

Well I partially agree with Thriller. I think a lot of people supported Christians placement on ECW was a great thing, and I believed he had a great chance of being successful there. However, I think that Christian has a great chance of moving up higher. I am not one of those guys who thinks Christian is the greatest talent ever, but I picture it this way. Many nay sayers doubted CM Punk and Jeff Hardy's rise to the top. And now, they have won multiple titles each, and just main evented the second biggest show of the year. If that is not a path being created for Christian, I do not know what is.

 

[Sean Valjean]

I actually didn't mind much that Christian was on ECW. Much better than being on Raw, where he probably would have been buried.

Yes, Christian has become a better champion and overall entertainer, but that's because of TNA, not ECW. However, ECW has helped him get over with the WWE fans and rebuild his fanbase. He's without a doubt the face of ECW, and has pretty much done everything you can do there. He's ready to move on and come next draft, he'll definately be moved to one of the big shows (hopefully Smackdown). I can see him to winning a world title late next year at the earliest.

 

[tLight]

He's just as boring and overrated as ever. His promos are boring, his in ring work is boring, he himself is boring. ECW was a ot better without him. As far as moving on to bigger and better things, I hope not, he's not good enough to be World or WWE Champ. He would'nt be able to carry Raw or Smackdown, because he lacks the talent to be the shows "Main Event Attraction" and he's not a big draw name. His time in TNA doesnt count for shit, because its TNA where the cast-offs go to play. Much like with Batista, the quicker Christian is gone, and I only give him 3 years before he cashes out, the better. He came back for the money.

Maybe you are talking about a different Christian, because I seem to remember people acting like it was the second coming of Jesus when he returned. People were saying he was getting screwed by Vince since he was on ECW and that he should be World Champion on either Raw or SmackDown. .

The only people who praised Christian were all proud members of the IWC. Christian has a hater and his name is Vince McMahon. Vince never gave Christian credit, and he really isn't viewed as a golden boy to the regular fan. But I believe the thread starter has a point. Vince actually gave props to Christian for carrying a match with Zack Ryder, which was a huge step in Christians career. But I still don't believe Christian is ME material on Raw but I do believe he could be main event material on a show like Smackdown.

Christian has come a long way since returning to the E, but I still believe he has a way to go, especially if he wants to be considered a serious threat to the Raw or SD main event title scene.

He's just as boring and overrated as ever.

Overrated huh? Really now? He's the ECW Champion. Are you trying to tell me Christian isn't good enough to hold the ECW Championship?

His promos are boring

Absolutely ridiculous. Christian is among the best, if not the best promo cutter in the entire WWE right now. How can you possibly say his promos are boring? His promos always get a reaction from the crowd, and it's usually great. The crowd will pick up on something Christian says (like calling Regal "Bill" on ECW this week) and begin chanting it within seconds. Christian epitomizes what it is to cut a great promo.

Seriously, how can you possibly think he's boring? The rest of the wrestling world would disagree with you on that one. I suppose The Rock was rather bland on the mic as well?

his in ring work is boring

Also absolutely ridiculous. Christian has been involved in consistently good matches through out his entire career, and proved himself more than capable of holding a main event spot while he was in TNA.

Christian is not boring in the ring. At all. Besides which, as John Cena has shown us all, great technical in-ring skills are not required to succeed in this business.

he himself is boring.

Yeah, nothing bores me more than a top promo cutter and great in-ring wrestler too. How boring. We could be watching more Big Daddy V matches right now gosh darnett!

ECW was a ot better without him.

Another ridiculous thing to say. The Dreamer-Christian feud was without a doubt the best thing to happen this year on ECW. Christian gives ECW real star power, and doesn't make it look like a complete and total B show.

As far as moving on to bigger and better things, I hope not, he's not good enough to be World or WWE Champ.

He certainly is. He can more than hold his own in a main event feud. You're trying to tell me that seeing Christian vs. Edge in a World Heavyweight title feud wouldn't be good? Absolutely ridiculous. Christian has paid his dues, and deserves to be a main eventer in the WWE right now (preferably on Smackdown).

He would'nt be able to carry Raw or Smackdown, because he lacks the talent to be the shows "Main Event Attraction" and he's not a big draw name. His time in TNA doesnt count for shit, because its TNA where the cast-offs go to play. Much like with Batista, the quicker Christian is gone, and I only give him 3 years before he cashes out, the better. He came back for the money.

You've got to be kidding me with this asinine post. Christian not only would be great on Smackdown, he's damn well needed on Smackdown at this point, who has a grand total of 2 main eventers on their roster. And saying that his time in TNA doesn't count is bullshit as well, TNA is the number two promotion, they have a weekly television show (one that has recently gained better ratings than ECW; so explain to me how that makes them small-time again) and they have monthly PPV's, of which Christian main evented many.

Christian is everything the WWE is looking for right now. He's great on the mic, he's great in the ring, and he's been around long enough for the fans to accept and buy into a main event push. The prospects of an Edge and Christian main event title feud would draw BIG TIME for the WWE, I guaran-fucking-tee it.

You talk about TNA, and say how the ratings are close to ECW....ECW the WWE's C show. Christian is the Champ, thats probably way the ratings in ECW are close to the ratings in TNA. You are correct that TNA does have monthly PPV's, I think their PPV last month had a buy rate of around 70,000-100,000 people, those are some pretty steller numbers....oh wait

Dreamer vs Christian as the high light of ECW? LMAO Swagger vs Hardy was better, hell Mark Henrys entire title run as ECW Champ was better. Bourne vs Kidd was also 100x better.


Why settle for Edge vs Christian, when you could have Edge vs. Jericho? do I even need to go deeper into this subject because I think it speaks volumes for itself.

thanks for playing xfearbefore

Yeah, it's not like it's because it's on a network many people don't get, is on at 10PM on a Tuesday, is only an hour long, has half the star power of the other WWE shows and is never advertised....no, you're right, the entire ECW ratings situation is because of Christian. How silly of me.

You are correct that TNA does have monthly PPV's, I think their PPV last month had a buy rate of around 70,000-100,000 people, those are some pretty steller numbers....oh wait

For a promotion that's still running out of the same arena for the last 7 years? Fuck yes those are good numbers for a PPV buy rate, do you actually know what you're talking about? 100,000 buyrates for a TNA PPV would be excellent.

Dreamer vs Christian as the high light of ECW? LMAO Swagger vs Hardy was better, hell Mark Henrys entire title run as ECW Champ was better. Bourne vs Kidd was also 100x better.

That's a load of bullshit and a half. Dreamer vs. Christian was definitely the highlight of ECW thus far, just for the fact that we got to see Dreamer become a main eventer on ECW again (you know, the heart and soul of ECW for over 15 years now) and we got to see Christian show us that playing a tweener role can still be successful, as it was.

How can you possibly sit here and tell me that Evan Bourne vs. Tyson Kidd is better? Really?

Why settle for Edge vs Christian, when you could have Edge vs. Jericho? do I even need to go deeper into this subject because I think it speaks volumes for itself.

I guarantee you that wrestling fans would MUCH rather see Edge vs. Christian, than fucking Edge vs. Jericho. Are you really going to argue that? That's a mega storyline just waiting to happen once Edge gets back, especially because Edge will most likely be returning as a face, and Christian plays a wonderful heel.

thanks for playing xfearbefore

No problem, I rather enjoy the "Embarrassing Random People" game. It's a fun one.

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

Christian is in a great place right now and of course, he's making a great champion on ECW.

In terms of him moving up, I don't think he needs to for a while. He's perfect right now on ECW and if he were to go to RAW or Smackdown! then he wouldn't have any big names to feud with. Punk/Taker and Cena/Orton are going to be taking up time over the next few months and with Regal's faction thing going on ECW is only going to get more exciting and Christian is in the prime seat for it.

Christian has all the talent in the world to be a World Champion on one of the other shows but I think where he is right now is great and maybe in a year or 2 he can move on to bigger things. But for the moment, ECW is perfect.

 

[Nascarman]

I love Christan and would love to see him in anouther brand hopfullf smackdown. I don't think he could make it on raw right now. his work on ECW is the only reason i watch and for now i hope he stays there. But hopefully its under a year before he moves. hopefully after he wins Money in the bank so he can be in the world title pitcher.

 

[RVDgurl]

At least on this forum, Christian's return to the WWE was met with mixed reaction. There were some who thought he would crash and burn and that Vince would bury him quite shortly after his return. For those people, I hope they now see things in a different light. I think Christian has performed at a higher level than was expected. I also think he was given a bigger opportunity to do this by the WWE than expected.

Christian is, and always has been, a great talent. I have always believe that the WWE dropped the ball on Christian years ago and it now looks like they can't ignore him any longer. He has done a fantastic job on ECW and I have high hopes for his future success, whether it be on RAW or SD!.
