If the WWE feels forced to push someone...

Recommended Posts

Guest pappajacks

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating a Christian push. A well organized federation should not push someone like Christian in singles competition. BUT, this is the WWE we are talking about. Christian has more wrestling skills and mic skills than Big Show and A-Train combined. He proved himself in the tag division (multi-time tag team champion with two different partners) and has won every other minor title. He has been in Edge's shadow for a long time, but has shown that he doesn't need Edge to receive heat from the fans (he was even more over with the fans during the KOTR ceremony than Edge was). He was by far the only guy in the Unamericans that received any heat.

 

Will he be stuck in the tag team division forever or can we expect a push for Christian in singles competition in the upper mid card level? I wouldn't mind seeing him feud with Booker or RVD.

Why shouldn't a well organized fed push someone like Christian?

I'd be more up for a Hurricane/Shane Helms push, and if they moved him back to SD it would be all the better

I knew the Hoss comment was coming.

 

But now that Jericho is hinting on returning to singles competition, I don't want to see Christian being stucked with a 3rd partner and win the tag team belts another 5 times. Now is his time or never.

I like Christian but there are about 15 or so guys with more charisma,mic skills, and in ring ability that are at his level or slightly above him that should get pushed 1st so I doubt it happens. He has also shown in the time he has been a singles wrestler that he is not very good in that department from an in ring standpoint and should remain in the tag division if they found him the right partner. I would like to see him matched up with Lance Storm as Christian's goofiness and Storm's serious would probably make for a really good mix. They also are both better in tag wrestling and Storm really needs to get rid of Regal as his partner.

Christian should go to Smackdown. He has done everything he will be able to do on RAW

I'm a little biased because Christian is my favorite wrestler, but I'd say Christian is the perfect guy to push as a singles computer for the WWE. He's decent on the mic, he gets a fair amount of heat for a sidekick. He also does a good job of wrestling the WWE style, plus he was trained in the WWE developmental system so he's also home grown. They love that! He also doesn't have a goofy gimmick holding him back. Unfortunately there is no other singles title on RAW, so he might just end up like Jeff Hardy or RVD, randomly teaming with various wrestlers who also have nothing else to do.

 

But, I'd say hanging around the first ever undisputed champion and feuding with two of the most popular faces on RAW not named RVD is a pretty decent push.

Christian is right where he should be at this point in time as far as I'm concerned.

Obviously I want to see a Christian push...

 

I mean, who doesn't love 5-minute chinlocks?

So "more talented" these days is using an insane amount of restholds?

 

Christian is and should always be a tag wrestler because unlike Edge, he's just not good enough to be carried to good-to-great matches. Hell, I'd advocate an serious RVD push long before I'd push Christian.

Christian's not that good in singles matches, which most of them consist of punching, stomping, chinlocks, reverse headlock moves, and the Unprettier. This week was the hardest he's probably worked in a while though as he did work over Goldust's arm, though the psychology did seem flawed because the Unprettier affects the head. Other than that, Christian's strengths come through his mic skills and comedy, but Jericho, Booker T, Benoit, Guerrero, Angle, Edge, Rey Mysterio, etc. can wrestle better than him.

I figure Christian just hasn't had enough time to develop himself in the singles division. If they wanted to test him, give him some time alone out there and let him adjust. Don't jump the gun and expect masterwork.

Since the breakup of Edge & Christian, I've always said that the WWE should push both men, and not just one. Well, so far, I've seen them pushing Edge. I will admit that Edge is the better wrestler of the two, but still. Give Christian some time, and he could get up to Edge's level. I'd love to see a Christian push.

Exactly, outside the Edge matches he's barley been given any matches over 5 minutes to work with

Christian would be lost on Smackdown, especially with Matt Hardy (same character, better wrestler) being there.

I used to be a huge fan of Christian but his ring work the last five months has left much to be desired. Punch, choke, punch, chinlock, punch, more choking, reverse DDT, reverse DDT into the knee, even longer chinlock, choke, punch, unprettier. Truly thrilling stuff. He and Storm have dropped like bricks on my list of "favorite workers."

I think one of the reasons Edge has become so good is because he's gotten the chance to work singles matches and do programs with great workers and learn from that. Christian has gotten no such opportunities. The last high profile singles match he had was from WMX8 against DDP. I'm sure if given the chance that Edge had, Christian would succeed as well.

Edge was always the better wrestler, even in the Edge & Christian days. Christian was the better one on the mic.

Christian is good in tags but as a singles wrestler he sucked. Remember after his breakup with Edge? I wish I didn't.

Wasnt Christian's last push against Edge killed because he did some backstage bitching?
