Ok...ok...I understand Christian got a nice pop last night, but what defines "deafening"? If your calling those pops from Raw such, well I disagree. Those were solid pops, but as stated before, if he really was above ECW he'd receive these "deafening" pops. I think people seriously over rate Christian. He's certainly not as important as people are making him out to be.
Christian doesn't deserve to be challenging for any belt. His crowd reactions are nowhere near that level and main eventing TNA doesn't exactly makes you worthy of being in main events in the WWE.
He gets decent mid-card chants just like Rey, but they aren't deafening. HBK/Taker last night, that's deafening. Stone Cold-deafening. Cena-deafening. Christian? Fair. And I do believe people over rate being a TNA champ, but what about R-Truth? Buncha racists! He certainly isn't over enough to get a main event program. And trust me, being on WM is a bigger honor than anything TNA could promise. More people are aware of the name "Wrestlemania" than the name TNA.
Christian is far better than Edge, John Cena, Matt Hardy, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio and many more
No. He is only slightly better than a busted up, juiced up Rey, arguably even with Punk and Hardy but hasn't been better than either Cena or Edge.
Since 07- Cena- vsUmaga vs HBK at WM and @Raw, vs. Lashley @GAB vs Orton@ SS, JBL parking lot brawl, and vs. Batista @SS were all good to great
Edge- was in that fun 4 way @Backlash 07, had a nice Triple Threat against Bobtista and Taker in late 07, had the two nice matches with a hurt Rey in early 08, had that AWESOME trilogy with Taker from Mania thru SS (title match, TLC, HIAC) and had some good matches with HHH and Hardy along the way.
Christian- the only matches that stand out from his TNA career were Vs Joe and Angle. Big surprise given that Joe and Angle are the best workers on that roster. Christian just doesn't stack up against ANY WWE headliner and certainly not Cena or Edge. It's asinine to say that and not to mention Christian has never drawn a dime in his life.
