I have noticed ever since Christian has returned from injury[now injured AGAIN] that more and more he is being buried on commentary. More specifically from JBL each week. First it was the ugly comments and then it was mostly skinny jokes. And although I laughed my ass off when Christian responded on commentary calling JBL "David Spade in a fat suit", I still think they are continually burying Christian.
I realize that Vince McMahon has never cared for Christian and that most of the spiteful commentary is probably being fed to JBL via Vinnie Mac. But you have to wonder, what exactly is McMahon's problem with Christian? Injury issues aside, Christian is a hard worker and someone who is over with audiences as either a heel or a face. Is he weird looking? Kinda, but no more so than most of the usual faces on WWE television. Christian obviously puts effort into his appearance aside from his physique[not a steroid user] and yet the burying continues. I always thought Edge looked more weird than Christian, yet he got pushed more based on size. And while Christian isn't exactly The Rock or Steve Austin, he does have that intangible that you cannot teach which connects him with fans. He seems to have a good grasp on psychology and has consistently great matches. To me, it seems awfully childish and redundant than Christian is being targeted. If Vince had a problem, it seems like they would work it out behind-the-scenes and not air it out on television. I understand they cannot make him WWE World Heavyweight Champion because of injury problems, but still, why the hate?
