Why Christian has disappeared from TV

[Troy]

Yeah that shocked me too, especially since it was at WrestleMania. It is a bit backwards that WWE doesn't think that they can have strong heels that aren't cowards and that don't cheat to win. It would be better if there was more balance, that Christian/Orton feud just tipped too far in the one direction. One successful title defense from Christian on PPV would have made a big difference.

Regardless of the outcomes, Orton made Christian look like a true star in back and forth matches and he actually looked like a main eventer, not a career midcarder. Booking buried Christian, not Randy Orton.

Jesus.............Heels are not supposed to be booked better than faces.

That is some bullshit nWo booking meeting. Thats how you make the "cool heel" and cut the balls off faces. It's fucking stupid, booking wrestling isn't hard.

It's been the same recipe since people starting writing fiction, the good guy overcomes the odds. What happens if Bond doesn't beat Bloefeld? God these rasslin arguments are just getting dumb.

Has anybody ever given the thought that Christian isn't exactly young? He's been with the company for how long now? The fact that he got 2 titles should be good enough. Of course a heel is going to put over a face. How else would they be a good face?

But you have to give him something to overcome. Orton didn't have to overcome anything in the end as it was a walk in the park. A hero is only as strong as his villian and if the villian is booked like a joke then it won't mean as much when the hero wins again and again. Wrestling actually needs strong heels and that is where WWE has struggled for so long because they don't know how to let their heels win

Bloefeld actually got the better of Bond for most of the film until Bond hulked up and made his comeback.

Christian played the role of whiny heel, and he did it perfectly.

Cowardly heels always gain more heat than one who is too smart and too bad to lose to anyone. Ric Flair played the cowardly heel, for the most part, until he got the book and the NWA title was full of fuck finishes that ruined most of the faces he was wrestling.

If a heel is constantly in command the whole time, then it leaves the viewer with the thought of "It just doesn't matter, and it is futile". and who wants to watch that? No payoff is worth a heel dominating with dastardly deeds.

Did anyone give a shit when Triple H beat Orton at WM? I for one didn't care, and fell asleep during that match, because winning a match isn't going to overcome some guy beating up you in-laws including your wife.
