ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2003 Bah... I like Christian, but why put the Title on him ? His last reign did nothing for him or the Title. So? His last reign, he was still new as a singles wrestler...and he didn't have his heel-style done to a T yet. Now, he's built WAY more on it, and can do more with it than last time.

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 20, 2003 1)Christian got destroyed by Goldberg last week 2)Christian won the belt in a *battle royale* 3)Christian *cheated* to win the belt in a battle royale. 4)Christian's first match after winning the title he lost by DQ. The title reign is already a bomb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ShooterJay Report post Posted May 20, 2003 Christian's problem I think dates back to the mishandling of his *first* IC Title reign. What should have happened is that they should have stretched the Edge/Christian feud another month. After Christian won the belt from Edge, make the next PPV match a cage match, which Christian also wins thanks to his new Alliance buddies. In the meantime, Edge could have won the US belt like he did. And THEN they could have had the ladder match at Survivor Series, with the added bonus of a unification match. A title reign of a month longer, combined with more marquee matches on PPV, and in between that maybe some more title defenses and promo time, would have put Christian way higher on the food chain than he is now. It would have been worlds better than that hastily-booked 50/50 shit Edge had with Test at Survivor Series. I mean, they tease a potentially epic feud for months, and only have the actual feud last 2 months? What the hell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest humongous2002 Report post Posted May 20, 2003 Christian is just keeping the title warm for Booker T. WWE wants Book to win the IC title in his hometown of Texas, either way both titles on RAW are worthless in the fans' eyes b/c they haven't been treated with proper respect(thanks Cripple H).

Guest TheAnvil Report post Posted May 20, 2003 I think you guys are missing the major point, that Christian is following in The Rock's footsteps. Christian is Rock's favorite wrestler, and he's going to follow the pattern that the Rock made. He'll talk about his "peeps" alot, and constantly be a weak heel IC champ. I can only hope that he can turn it around into a big success like Rock, but I don't think he can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted May 20, 2003 billy gunn winning titles make baby jesus cry Gimmick infringement makes baby Jesus cry. I'll be expecting my $2 in the mail, or you can expect to see my lawyers slither through your mail slot. I see Booker T winning the belt in Houston, to make up for HHH not dropping the Fake strap to him at Mania and Backlash like he was supposed to. I know WW_ isn't known for "doing the right thing", but I don't see how they can keep one of the more pop-worthy guys on RAW without a worthwhile program. Plus, HHH wouldn't allow another heel on HHHis show to have a lengthy title run… unless HHHe plans to lay down for Big Daddy Shit-For-Knees at BB which, according to Clique's Third Law of Relativity, is a distinct possibility. Christian, thy name is Lame Duck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 20, 2003 They'll have Booker lose in Houston and then turn heel and feud with Goldberg. Why? Because they're the WWE and they're morons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mach7 Report post Posted May 20, 2003 Just noticed this. Throw some fake looking tattoos all over his upper-torso, and the new-look Christian would bear an uncanny resemblance to Guy Pierce in Memento... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tully316 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2003 I think the new Christian rules! However, it will fail because of the usual WWE booking. He has the talent on the mic and passable ring skills to get the job done, but he has to be booked right for him to rise to the level of a Jericho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMTapes Report post Posted May 21, 2003 Who cares about Booker? Seriously. What would the benefit to him being IC champ, hell even World champ, be? They blew it when they had the chance. Just have Christian go over and build a strong champion. Booker would just lose it a month later anyway. -JM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted May 21, 2003 The only good thing that would make sense is build Christian as a strong champion, and have Hurricane eventually take the title and have his long run with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big McLargeHuge Report post Posted May 21, 2003 The only good thing that would make sense is build Christian as a strong champion, and have Hurricane eventually take the title and have his long run with it. I agaree with this. Why Booker and Jericho (two former World Champions) are competing for a second tier belt is beyond me, really. and I mean that from a character standpoint. Obviously, the RAW team is trying to re-establish the IC title. I ain't buying it though. For now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2003 I would LOVE to see the Hurricane as the Intercontinental Champion someday soon. Hell, back when he first appeared on post-split Raw, shortly after he released a commentarry saying that he wanted to go after the I.C. title...of course, this was shortly before it was sent to the pit of obscurity for a while...

Guest Skironox Report post Posted May 21, 2003 Anybody remember Christians last IC run? I really can't see him being much more than a transitional champ. I won't complain if they give him a longer term run, however. He really needs a program that will give him credibility as a champion, not just a sidekick.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted May 21, 2003 I can't stand Christian's new look. I really, really can't. He looks like Test's 'mini-me.' It's pitiful. Whenever the WWE seem to go out of their way to get someone a new look...they all come out looking like this. What is the WWE's obsession with the fucking Michael Cole haircut? Goodness. After the haircut, it's like the hair style is supposed to be short hair...but don't comb it. It just looks like a messy pile of slop. And, if your hair isn't blonde, you better believe that you're going to get some faggot frosted tips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2003 I like Christian's new look, so sue me. He can go somewhere with the gimmick, he just needs to be a little more badass, hurt people. He can go places. I think he should cheat and win at Bad Blood setting up a rematch at SummerSlam, the next RAW-only Pay Per View. billy gunn winning titles make baby jesus cry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2003 The thing i don't get is, if the WWE wants Booker to have the IC title, then why give Christian it for a nothing 1 month reign when they could of easily held back the battle royal 4 a month and held it in Houstn enabling Booker to be the first new champion in his home town. And avoid making Christian look like shit in the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted May 21, 2003 Booker T (a former World Champion), should not be an IC Champion, and neither should Jericho. No way would I buy two former World Titleists holding a secondary belt. And Christian should have a highlighted mowhawk for a hairstyle. That would rule (a la David Beckham, if anyone knows him).

Garth 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2003 I would seriously break down and cry if Christian ever had his hair like that, Beckham looked bloody ridiculous with that hair style, Christian would look even more so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted May 21, 2003 That kind of hair (crazy style) matches his outlandish personality. It's better than trying to look like Test's brother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2003 Hmmmm i'll agree there, he does need something that dosen't make him look like test, maybe he should dye it black. I think that would look quite good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted May 21, 2003 I don't think Christian looks that bad and at least he looks different. The long haired look for him was getting kind of old. it kind of sucks though knowing when Christian is going to lose the title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest croweater Report post Posted May 22, 2003 I think this is booked perfectly for Christian to get seriously over! He beats Booker T by relentless(not cowardly) cheating in his HOME TOWN drawing MAJOR Crowd heat. His new look is there to cast away his former persona and title run. WWE needs to get the look over, I don't mind it......... better than maroon tights and it does sute his attitude. Christian should retain and then continually fued with Booker T to get himself over. I don't like either Jericho or Booker T in the IC title area as it is just keeping them away from the WORLD. But that said, the IC title has the possibility of completely outshining the WORLD title and hence being a major draw considering the people who would compete for it are OVER! That said Christian will drop the title to Nash next raw so HHH can win it in the unification match HIAC at bad blood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
