Not suprising at all, given that he had not been given a real shot at Batista's gold and his "Peep Show" seemed to be leading him nowhere. Plus with the Booker T heel turn and new US Championship, there wasn't too much he could do in that area. It was bound to happen. Edge is probably next.

It's no great loss to me...the only time I ever liked Christian was when he was with Edge, and to a lesser degree, Gangrel. Once they gave him a mic to push his solo career, I basically stopped watched him, and tuned him out everytime he was on the screen.

I'm with Warlock. Although I believe he is good talent, he was better when he was partnered up. The Brood was killer.

The Opera Entrance with the shower of fireworks was the bomb.

Should give you an idea of how classy Christian is; even though his contract expired he still agreed to do the job on Smackdown!.
And Shinns, any Friday Night TV show would be considered a dying breed, wouldn't it?

Smackdown = A dying breed. SmackDown! > Raw by 10,000 Meh, oh well. I hoped off his bandwagon when every smark in the world hopped on his bandwagon and thought he was some God.

I've liked Christian for years. Before his push. I've hated Edge for years. Before his push. The wrong man was given the spotlight, while the other man was left to become a jobber. That's injustice, but it's standard procedure in the WWE.
Anyway, I'm gutted he's left and I hope TNA or ROH contact him soon. He'll be a great champ for either company. Christian vs. Chris Danials or vs. AJ Styles would be great matches.

I bet RoH wants nothing to do with him.
And do you know how easy it is to counter Christian' finisher with Jerrett's move?

They brought in Hardy. Both of them. I think RoH would jizz themselves to get Christian.

I bet RoH wants nothing to do with him. I agree. He brings nothing to the table when it comes to wrestling. Just Headlocks, Chinlocks, Punches, Unprettier gets countered, squashed.

Christian > The guy in your sig as far as in-ring ability goes.
Christian is very much underrated as a wreslter and an entertainer. Basically, the WWE has let a potential top-heel go.
If anyone doesnt' think Christian was mistreated, the fact that the fans were cheering him, and the WWE kept trying to force him as a heel in their faces instead of letting it go as Cena and Austin did is enough for me.
Christian should've never lost to Booker T. Christian is better than Edge. Christian is a loss to the company.
Just wanted to quote that and point something out. You dont like a superstar because nobody else likes them, that's stupid. I dont care if every person in the world likes HBK and praises him, I still like him. I don't care if everyone in the world hates John Cena, I still like him.
Heaven forbid you have your opinion and stick to it Chad. You like Christian, everyone else starts seeing what you're talking about, so you stop liking him? Right

Stare, I see ya point, but its not because of that reason. Its because everyone thinks Christian is the greatest thing in the world, when he's really not. Some of the guys at another message board I'm at praise him non stop and think he should be World Champion and CEO of WWE and the Messiah of earth, etc. I disgress about the Cena thing, as Cena is the most over person in the WWE. Even you admit that. Cena puts asses in seats. Christian's good for the fact that he can cut a few jokes about people cuz of his cockyness and witty sarcasm. But in the ring, he's nothing different from Orton [And I like Orton]. Just punch, headlock, chinlock, shitty finisher [Not Orton]. You really mean to tell me that the Unprettier is a good finisher? I don't think I've ever seen him even hit it and actually get a win. WWE told Christian he wasn't getting a giant push as hoped, and he should've just sucked it up and took it like a man. Paul London, Tajiri, Venis, those guys practically sold there careers away to be stepping stones for the OVW'ers, and I'm sure there fine with it. Because to quote CM Punk in some variation --
"I'm gonna do just what Shannon Moore did and buy me a Hummer"
He won't be a giant star in TNA as much as we all love it. WWE is the only home capable for Christian, and I think he made a big mistake by quitting.
I love this debate by the way. Internet Message boards > AIM Chat Room's.

You do speak the truth Chad, and I see where you were coming from.
I still think Christian quitting is a mistake, the guy was more over than he appeared to be. Didnt he sell more merchanidse than any other SD! superstar? I've read that at a couple of places.
Making people laugh is what got Cena over. He's nothing more than headlocks, punches, and basic moves. Then again, you dont have to do all these high flying moves to be a great wrestler.
Either way, Christian shouldnt have quit, and shouldnt go to TNA

WWE is slowly degrading. Letting someone like Christian just walk to TNA? This is ridiculous especially when Gene Snitsky is still with the company. WWE should make more of an effort for a person that sells the most merchandise on SD!

To anybody that is basing their opinion on Christians wrestling ability to all they've seen in the WWE... thats ridiculous as we all know that the WWE doesn't allow for wrestling ability. The matches are so scripted that anybody that really is a good wrestlers looks watered down. Hell even Angle and HBK and anybody else thats considered great in WWE is 10 times better working out of the WWE style.

That's injustice, but it's standard procedure in the WWE. Anyway, I'm gutted he's left and I hope TNA or ROH contact him soon. He'll be a great champ for either company. Christian vs. Chris Danials or vs. AJ Styles would be great matches. I truly believe this isn't the WWE's fault. I like both Christian and Edge. I think Edge does deserve his spot, and I love his heel character. There was nothing injustice over what the WWE did. Any wrestling company with common sense would do the same thing. Seriously, I could imagine atm, thousands of 13 year old kids who think they know it all are bashing the WWE and saying how much of a "poopy head" Vince is. It's truly easy to bash the WWE for killing Christian's push, but I think the WWE had 2 very good reasons to kill it. First reason is that nothing really benefitial would come out of Christian's push. Not fo the WWE or Christian. Names are flying in and out quickly these days. What would have happened if Christian ended up in the main event? He would probably be jobbing to the next flavor of the month. To the WWE, it would just be wasting main event space. They already have Batista, JBL, and Orton in the main event, so they really have no reason to upset that good balance. The other reason why they probably killed his push is because of how fans were cheering him as a face. Its just the same concept with Cena, The Rock, and even Stone Cold when they were all heels. Over the fact how they were to become face, and the dyamic good guy was inevitable. I really didn't want to see Christian turn face, and that was probably the only option in the future if Christian did stay in the main event. Bottom line is that Christian was nothing more than the flavor of the month. It truly wasn't the WWE's fault over this, and it was Christian who left. The fact that he wasn't sadisfied over the pay, just prooved that he really didn't respect the sport many of you thought he did. As for him going to RoH, TNA, and all of those other 2nd rated wrestling feds, the chances are he will not have the interest to go there because he does have enough money and if he does want money, he will more likely turn to the WWE first.
