Let's Make Christian Better

[Maddog Lionheart]

Now here's why I say this. I knew that they were going to turn him into a heel and a was on the fence about it but I'm glad that it happened. But in my eye, they aren't doing a good job. Here are my reasons why:

1. Same Music
I don't have a problem with his music, it's a good song, but t I don't feel that it captures him being a heel. Especially for him just now turning into a heel ever since he came back to WWE and the news fans really weren't able to experience him back in the day as a heel.

2.Other Heels.
Other heels on the show are starting to show themselves as better than him, such as Sheamus, Henry, Barret, and Rhodes. If he's going to be the top heel on the show, than he needs to BE the top heel.

3. Just A Bad Job
Honestly, ever since he became a heel on Smackdown, he looks like a bitch. With the beeging and pleading for a title match over and over and making him get lawyers to get him a title match, it's just not a good show for him. And by the way, notice how almost every show, he's getting RKO'ed or bicycle kicked.

4. Spear
Now I do understand him paying homage to Edge, but at the same time, he's his own man. He needs to keep using his Unprettier (I call it the Unprettier because Killswitch seems gay.)

5. WWE wear
If you also notice, his apparel isn't all that heelish as well. Pisses me off a little bit.

All that I'm saying is that we've all seen the type of heel he used to be and was awesome. Let's go back to those days. Let's get back CC, Captian Charisma, Christian.

Let me feel what you feel......

 

[The Future Rises]

Christian is the R-Truth of Smackdown, got screwed out of the title by a babyface, attacked him for it, and continued his heel turn the next week by bashing the crowd.

Now I agree with what you said.. if he's gonna be heel then he needs to lose all of his babyface stuff, music, attire, etc..

Christian's problem is.. he's not really playing his heel character good.. it's like he's this generic heel who whines to get a title shot.. we all know what kind if heel he can be.. and that's exactly how he should be, he should get the "because that's.. how I roll!" catchphrase back, he needs to get a new theme or go back to his old one, and he shouldn't be kicking his peeps in the balls, I always wanted to see Christin as a main eventer when he had that heel gimmick.. and now that he is a main eventer I just wish he would get it back.

 

[Superbeast_85]

That's the problem with the "PG Era" of WWE. A Heel can't really be a heel anymore. They don't really leave a whole lot of room to work with when everything's gotta be watered down. Insult the crowd, attack the fan favorite, etc. Effective, but very stale at the same time. I want a REAL heel character. Someone you love to hate (or hate to love, for that matter)

[YOUTUBE]yGOorfeylsM[/YOUTUBE]
I agree. I don't hate his theme, but it screams face through and through. I think he should go back to that one.

2.Other Heels.
Other heels on the show are starting to show themselves as better than him, such as Sheamus, Henry, Barret, and Rhodes. If he's going to be the top heel on the show, than he needs to BE the top heel.

If Christian wasn't getting anally raped out of the world title all the time, he could be the top heel.

3. Just A Bad Job
Honestly, ever since he became a heel on Smackdown, he looks like a bitch. With the beeging and pleading for a title match over and over and making him get lawyers to get him a title match, it's just not a good show for him. And by the way, notice how almost every show, he's getting RKO'ed or bicycle kicked.

In my opinion, the heel turn was done wrong. He said at first, "If you cheered for me, that means you got it." They could've had him "drop" those who booed him saying, "the peeps understand." Also, the whole lawyer thing is a lot like Troof's "Conspiracy" angle. At Capitol Punishment, he got robbed, and is desperate to prove that he can beat Orton(cleanly).

4. Spear
Now I do understand him paying homage to Edge, but at the same time, he's his own man. He needs to keep using his Unprettier (I call it the Unprettier because Killswitch seems gay.)

I think using the spear makes him even more of a heel, possibly setting up Edge confronting Christian, i.e. "What's gotten into you man?" "What's wrong with you?"...I always liked Unprettier more. I haven't the foggiest as to why they changed the name.

5. WWE wear
If you also notice, his apparel isn't all that heelish as well. Pisses me off a little bit.

Meh. It's not like his attire is like Yoshi Tatsu. It could work for anyone.

All that I'm saying is that we've all seen the type of heel he used to be and was awesome. Let's go back to those days. Let's get back CC, Captian Charisma, Christian.

That would be nice. Anyway, I'm enjoying him as a heel, but I feel a lot could be done to make it better. Just my .

A good point. Personally, I love his current theme (Just Close Your Eyes by Story of the Year). I feel like it captures his personality and essence well. Maybe it isn't heel-ish enough though. I always thought that you could identify him by that song though. It's what made him who he was (Waterproof Blonde version and the current one). The same way Edge at his best always used Metalingus as a heel or a face. It's his identity.

2.Other Heels.
Other heels on the show are starting to show themselves as better than him, such as Sheamus, Henry, Barret, and Rhodes. If he's going to be the top heel on the show, than he needs to BE the top heel.

Agreed. Not on Barret and Rhodes, but definitely on Sheamus and Henry. Which is stupid because since losing the title, he has beaten both of them cleanly on SmackDown. If he's the top heel it should show not just in results but in actions as well. Writing has really failed on the latter of those two.

3. Just A Bad Job
Honestly, ever since he became a heel on Smackdown, he looks like a bitch. With the beeging and pleading for a title match over and over and making him get lawyers to get him a title match, it's just not a good show for him. And by the way, notice how almost every show, he's getting RKO'ed or bicycle kicked.

This one is the same as #2, essentially. He's won the important matches against everyone but Orton (Sheamus, Sin Cara, Mark Henry). The way he is written for promo definitely makes him look like a pussy though. That's just the way it is. Henry is a dominant monster heel. Sheamus is an aggressive, anger-management problem heel. Christian is the weasel. Still a heel trait, but not the most impressive.

4. Spear
Now I do understand him paying homage to Edge, but at the same time, he's his own man. He needs to keep using his Unprettier (I call it the Unprettier because Killswitch seems gay.)

Both are fine with me. I love seeing him use the spear but I want to see both. I personally feel like it should be a 50:50 ratio. As for Unprettier vs. Killswitch: I think it's because of TNA. It was called the Unprettier before he left and was continued to be called that in TNA. I'm not saying TNA trademarked the name or anything (but maybe they did), I just suspect WWE told him to change it's name because it became well known in TNA. That's just the company's attitude. In fact, I'm surprised that when he returned (interrupting a Swagger promo) the announcing (Matthews?) said, "This moment has just become instantly classic." Last time that kind of reference was ever used.

Overall, I don't mind the name Killswitch. The Unprettier was never big in his first stint with the WWE (he rarely got to use it). When he was on ECW though, it was a common sight, so the name Killswitch has stuck with me.

5. WWE wear
If you also notice, his apparel isn't all that heelish as well. Pisses me off a little bit.

You say apparel but I think you mean attire; what he actually wears in the ring.

If you do mean apparel, as in his new shirt:

( Available now at WWEShop.com for $24.99 in sizes S-3XL )


Then I must say I strongly disagree. That shirt is badass. Look at the little evil cartoon of Christian. That's a heel shirt. And a creative, authentic one at that. Not just your bland black t-shirt with a name and logo on it. I think it's great and recently ordered one for myself.

As for his in-ring attire, I still have to disagree. I think the only downfall is that his attire makes him look smaller than he really is. Black tights are slimming, you know. Not even kidding. If he wore standard trunks with knee pads, I think he'd look a little bigger. His look is very sleek and slimming. Personally I love it. I love his logo and that he has a handful of tights with different color combinations on them. I always thought that it made him stand out. A unique look, in my opinion.

All that I'm saying is that we've all seen the type of heel he used to be and was awesome. Let's go back to those days. Let's get back CC, Captian Charisma, Christian.

Let me feel what you feel......

I agree overall. My dream is that he wins at Money In The Bank and comes out the next SmackDown partying like it's 2005. Drops a "'Cause that's... how... I... ROLL!" Compete's in that night's main-event... Comes out in the hooded jump suit...

Okay, maybe that's pushing it.

Point is, Christian can be a good heel. A great heel as a matter of fact. But when you're character is constantly bitching about getting screwed and is hiring lawyers and getting RKO'd every week... He's going to look like a pussy. That's the nature of the PG era though, one where Orton and Cena run the shows and heels are written to be bland. We're fortunate to see CM Punk give one last good feud on Raw where the heel isn't a complete bitch though. I wish they'd do that on SmackDown!. Doubt it though.

 

[¡Roján!]

As we all know, Christian is one hell of a people as he's proved constantly in his 17 year career. However, his recent run isn't what i would of imagined it to be. But that, in part, is because of who he has been paired with in his first feud, Mr. Orton. Orton has really added much to the feud as it has been Christian's moaning and Sheamus' barbarity that makes it interesting. The way the feud has been booked is also not to Christian's strong points. Christian WILL become the top heel of SmackDown after his feud with Orton, perhaps feuding with Daniel Bryan (putting him over) or even Sin Cara (once he learns english).

 

[Jack-Hammer]

1. Same Music
I don't have a problem with his music, it's a good song, but t I don't feel that it captures him being a heel. Especially for him just now turning into a heel ever since he came back to WWE and the news fans really weren't able to experience him back in the day as a heel.

Music doesn't make a heel, his actions do. Entrance music is just that: it's music. It's part of the cosmetic decorations just like the bright lights and the pyro.

2.Other Heels.
Other heels on the show are starting to show themselves as better than him, such as Sheamus, Henry, Barret, and Rhodes. If he's going to be the top heel on the show, than he needs to BE the top heel.

Not really, they're just different. Sheamus & Mark Henry are two physical powerhouses. They're a couple of badass brawling heels and that's just not going to work with Christian. Sheamus is a 6'5" 275 pound Irish brawler and Mark Henry is one of the physically strongest men on the planet. They're badasses because they have the physical look and presence to be badasses whereas Christian doesn't. I like Wade Barrett but to say he's better than Christian at this point is laughable. Since coming to SD!, Barrett has spent more time losing than anything else and that's a shame. It won't take that much to build him back up I don't think but, right now, his stock isn't there. Cody Rhodes' gimmick is more psychotic and deranged than anything else. Rhodes' original character was a narcissist who has morphed into this unstable personality as he sees himself as being deformed because of his "facial injury". Chrisitan is more of a classic, opportunistic heel that feels he's been denied what's rightfully his for a very long time. He's not really a cowardly heel, although most heels do have some shades of cowardice, but Christian likes to pick his spots and twist things as much as he can to get his way.

3. Just A Bad Job
Honestly, ever since he became a heel on Smackdown, he looks like a bitch. With the beeging and pleading for a title match over and over and making him get lawyers to get him a title match, it's just not a good show for him. And by the way, notice how almost every show, he's getting RKO'ed or bicycle kicked.

I wouldn't say begging and pleading, more of a demand than anything else. Again, it's what opportunistic heels do. If Christian had lost to such an extent that it looked like he didn't deserve a title shot, I might agree. However, with the exception of Randy Orton, Christian has beaten everyone he's faced since coming to SD! whether as a face or a heel. The angle right now is that Christian was "cheated" during his last match with Randy Orton. Even though he's a heel, he has a "legit" claim as his left foot and part of his arm was underneath the bottom rope, meaning the count should have been stopped. Was it an honest mistake? Sure, but Christian remember Christian's frustrations I mentioned earlier. And because Christian is using all these legal tactics to get his match, it's generating heat with fans. Basic wrestling psychology is that fans "believe" that two guys should get in the ring and may the best man win. Using legal tricks and maneuvers to get what you want is seen as dishonorable, hence it's heelish, hence Christian generates great heat, hence he gets over with the crowd as a heel.

4. Spear
Now I do understand him paying homage to Edge, but at the same time, he's his own man. He needs to keep using his Unprettier (I call it the Unprettier because Killswitch seems gay.)

Now you're just nitpicking. The spear is nothing more than a body tackle. What's wrong with adding a basic, yet high impact, move to your move set? Sure if was Edge's move and it's something of an homage to Edge. So? Edge & Christian are always going to be linked together to some degree because they broke into WWE together and were one of the most successful tag teams in wrestling history.

5. WWE wear
If you also notice, his apparel isn't all that heelish as well. Pisses me off a little bit.

All that I'm saying is that we've all seen the type of heel he used to be and was awesome. Let's go back to those days. Let's get back CC, Captian Charisma, Christian.

Let me feel what you feel......

Again, sorry but this is just good old fashioned internet nitpicking but the last paragraph has basically spelled it out. It's not really that Christian isn't an effective heel, it's just that he's not the heel that you personally want him to be. That's all well and good, there was definitely nothing wrong with Captain Charisma at all, but depicting Christian as this intense, bitter star & veteran that feels he's been denied and screwed out of opportunities he's worked his entire career for is working.

1. Same Music
I don't have a problem with his music, it's a good song, but t I don't feel that it captures him being a heel. Especially for him just now turning into a heel ever since he came back to WWE and the news fans really weren't able to experience him back in the day as a heel.

Jack-Hammer stated it quite well, music is music, his entrance music can encapsulate a number of different personas and mannerisms. Like how Orton's captures his gimmick for example, "Voices" was a major reason in the Orton turn back when he returned around '08. It got through his heel persona, it got through the fact he hears "voices" and it sounds menacing. With Randy as a face, it still works.

The entrance music isn't that big of a deal. I think more people are just seeking them to revert back to the Waterproof Blondes version of the song, which would be better, but it would still be the same song, same words and same rhythm.

2.Other Heels.
Other heels on the show are starting to show themselves as better than him, such as Sheamus, Henry, Barret, and Rhodes. If he's going to be the top heel on the show, than he needs to BE the top heel.

Christian's turn saw him become someone who is obsessed with the World Heavyweight Championship, he feels betrayed by the fans and all he wants is to beat Randy Orton. That's how the whole turn came, he isn't going to be someone who goes around punting people in the head, or doing R-Truth's, going out into the crowd and speaking over children. That isn't the way the persona is supposed to be portrayed. Christian is a cunning and calculating heel, much like many have tried to be over the years, and most have failed to the point where you can't even think of anybody relevant enough to name.

Now you can name Christian because he's making the persona work. He doesn't have much to play off except for the frustration within him, that he consistently comes within touching distance of grasping onto what he earned and was taken away from him and yet - he fails! His face isn't disfigured, and once again as J-Hammer said, he isn't a big dude. So he can't be like Sheamus or Mizzark.

3. Just A Bad Job
Honestly, ever since he became a heel on Smackdown, he looks like a bitch. With the beeging and pleading for a title match over and over and making him get lawyers to get him a title match, it's just not a good show for him. And by the way, notice how almost every show, he's getting RKO'ed or bicycle kicked.

Actually you're wrong. Once Christian finally made the heel switch, he defeated Sheamus in a one-on-one match, he cracked the World Heavyweight Championship across Orton's head twice, he made a mockery of Randy on RAW, he beat Kane albeit with some help from Mizzark and hes taken two Bicycle Kicks and one RKO on Smackdown therefore making your opinion quite weak and transparent.

4. Spear
Now I do understand him paying homage to Edge, but at the same time, he's his own man. He needs to keep using his Unprettier (I call it the Unprettier because Killswitch seems gay.)

Once again, Hammer said it before I could(Fucking timezones!) You're almost looking to pick things to develop an arguement. Christian and Edge are one of the most decorated tag teams in WWE history, everyone knows of their friendship in and outside the ring. He used the move to begin with as a homage to Edge when he was still a face. So he turns hee and that eliminates moves I guess? Orton might want to stop punting people in the head then. Christian only used it to beat one person too, it's more of a signature move than anything else.

5. WWE wear
If you also notice, his apparel isn't all that heelish as well. Pisses me off a little bit.

His t-shirt is shit? So what? People are still buying it. On Smackdown they panned over the crowd and I saw a good three or four people wearing it, because it sells because Christian sells. Christian is playing a true character. You notice when his music hits people still cheer for him? The guy isn't playing a great, evil heel whose looking to kill and hurt people. He's playing a frustarted wrestler who was denied his chance to be the World Heavyweight Champion for over a decade and when he finally got there it was taken from him. The fans felt the same way, hence why they took to twitter and blasted Orton and the WWE.

Christian is doing a great job as a heel, he isn't playing the heel he was years ago because he isn't the same guy. He knows how good he is in this persona and its got him over, even with fans still cheering him.

Also, stop asking what I feel. When your name is Dr. Phil you can ask. Until then, not so much.

 

[Wade's Public Transit Bomb]

I am going to agree with the OP.


When Christian came back before Wrestlemania, he wasn't some super face. He was just someone who hanged onto Edge's coat tails. When Edge went bye-bye, Christian started things in tribute to Edge. He added the spear and really amplified the "I'm a cool guy so I am going to act cool so people will think I am cool." shtick. Well, he is not fucking Edge. He flopped to get consistently over.

Then they turn him on the basis that Orton is far more popular than Christian ever, EVER was. So, why would you boo this guy that few care about in favor of cheering for the guy who makes the area piss their pants when he comes out? Especially when Christian hasn't not been some mega-heat drawing magnet like some of other heels even in the past year? Then the guy gets "screwed" a lot and can't beat that top guy in a fight, and he hasn't tried to be really heel-y either.

I do think Christian isn't doing good either. Part of it is booking, but I think part of it is Christian himself. I just don't think he is main event material. There are guys SD with a much better and/or defined look (Pretty much everyone who isn't jobbing for that new Indian dude). There are guys who are much better at making people hate them (and/or creating drama in segments).

I totally disagree with the bold highlighted stuff, Eboney. I'm pretty sure that at Over the Limit, Christian got MORE of a pop than Orton. I think people actually connected to what Christian was feeling, when he got SCREWED out of the title, 5 days after a gruelling ladder match.
I would much prefer him as a MUCH-NEEDED upper-midcard face on Smackdown for a while longer until they hit the switch (no pun intended) on his heel turn. A face v face feud can be interesting (see Michaels v Undertaker) and they should of kept it that way until perhaps an Orton heel turn or someone else winning the WHC.
And there are guys who are much better at making people hate them? Who? Cody Rhodes is the only guy who comes to mind. Sheamus isn't really that hated. People cheer for his brutality. Mark Henry is another candidate but I don't ever want to see him in the main event scene again.
Smackdown's roster sucks. Let's face it. They desperately need to call up someone or hold another draft. Who feuds with Orton after Christian and Sheamus? Cody Rhodes? That's it. And, who can Sheamus feud with? Sin Cara? Daniel Bryan? (I wish). There's no-one.

 

[TheCrusher]

Christian would be more effective as a prankster face than as a whiner heel. He's the type of guy who should be locking opponents in their dressing rooms, running embarrassing videos of them on the Titantron, convincing a monster like Kane to attack his opponent before the match, stealing belts or props, generally outsmarting his opponent before the match ever starts. All PG stuff, and all believable coming from him.
Do this type of stuff to the heels, and keep him competitive with the top guys in the ring and you end up with an upper mid-card face who you pop into championship scenarios when you need him. You have to keep him competitive--not necessarily put him over--but keep him close or he becomes a comic novelty act. He needs to be just a half-step below guys like Sheamus or Orton who just look so physically superior.
He could prove to be one of the most over guys on the roster if he was given the opportunity to exploit the fact that he can come across as smarter than most everyone. He could do the same type of thing as a heel, but I don't think it would be as much fun, and I think there is a greater need for faces on this roster--and the whole wwe--than there is for heels.

Now I beg to differ a little. Yes, it is about the actions but at the same time, when you hear someone's music, you get that feeling like shit's going down, and it defines them. John Cena's screams face. Alex Riley's show that he's breaking out and starting to make a statement. People's music defines them and show how they are going to move up a lot of times.

That I can agree with. But I also don't like how he is just getting pushed around all the time. Either Bhrode Kicks, or Rko'sTrust me, I'm not trying to nit-pick. I just feel as if the WWE could do SOOOO much better with him. Thanks for posting. Love to see a Site Veteran on my thread.

.

I could've seen Edge and Christian doing the comic relief thing as a team if Edge were still around.

I think Christian's heel turn can be undone. The MiTB leaves so many different scenarios for different superstars. Christian's current storyline could even bring out a face turn...

At the MiTB PPV Ted DiBiase wins the IC Title, and Cody Rhodes wins the briefcase.

The Christian vs. Orton match is ruled a no contest as Rhodes and Dibiase rush the ring and attack both Christian and Orton. Rhodes decides to cash in the briefcase right then and there, and he has DiBiase restrain Christian and force him to watch as Rhodes pins Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship. Legacy stands tall in the middle of the ring holding both of SmackDown's singles titles.

5 days later on SmackDown, Christian interrupts and states that his contract had a clause that he would get a rematch if there were any shenanigans, "Including, but not limited to, the Money in The Bank winner cashing in the briefcase." Christian then begins a feud with Rhodes, turning face in the process.

 

[H33LTurn]

I agree with you, he needs new music and a new attire. If they're really going to have him continue being a heel then he needs to act more heelish. He needs heat, really badly. It wouldnt hurt if he worked on his physique either (I know hes a slim guy, but so is CM Punk and he put on some muscle for the whole Nexus thing).
