I hope Captain Charisma wins the title back soon.

I think that if thats true all of the Christian's on TPWW will love it. Christian as Smackdown's top heel is better than a tier two babyface. Champion or not.

Christian lost the belt?! WTF?!

Christian fans will NOT listen to excuses!

Opinions are like assholes....

Well, the main difference is, people don't make youtube videos about their assholes. These people just make the rest of us look bad.

When was Khali ever main event? LOL. And don't say 2007, because that title run of his was a sham and you know it.

I'll decide for myself in a couple hours. Me and my kid will be eating peeps in bed.

Orton v Cody v Ted in the long awaited rematch.

That's the creepiest post I've ever read.

We will not waiver!

I'm hoping Orton is the one who turns heel. Christian is the more sympathetic character. A guy who's busted his ass for years finally get his moment in the sun, only to have it taken away from him in an instant. That's easier to get behind.

Not to mention, Orton has always made a better heel, and even though he's been on fire for the past year with live crowds, he's a better option for top heel on SD! than Christian is.

I hope this leads somewhere for both guys. Orton's been going around in circles for a while now, and Christian is now in a position where he could really gain some momentum on his own and get built back up to another title win.

Watching the match this afternoon on YouTube, it's not like Christian got buried. They made it look like a close match, and the focus at the end of the show was more on Christian's reaction to losing the title, not Orton's celebration. I don't think they'd make the last shot of a taped show a dejected Christian walking to the back if they didn't have plans for a storyline.

That's not to say that the storyline will avoid being a letdown, too, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Why is everyone ignoring Orton's sudden beard? He is the heel!

I'm DVR'n it just to see how they book the actual match and aftermath. I know Christian got the RKO "outta nowhere", so it's not like he was booked to look be a lesser man than Orton more so than just hanging himself out to dry.

The potential is still there. This could very well be a good thing. Not to mention, it's SmackDown!, which has consistently the better wrestling show for about 2 years and running. Hayes tends to treat the veterans well. The same could be happening to Christian here.

This is kinda similar to the Punk/Hardy thing. Hardy finally gets that belt after a hard fought ladder match, then Punk takes it from him while Hardy is injured. The focus was all about Hardy. And it got him over huge, even though he was leaving the company.

Think Orton might be too over for that to work though.

The thing about Randy Orton is that, for some reason, he is over HUGE with the fans, Vince McMahon and the WWE have given ALL the opportunities IN THE WORLD to be the biggest star of the company, has gotten Title runs, and yet, he STILL has not gotten to THAT point, that level of stardom, where guys like Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H, Undertaker, and even John Cena, reside...

It worked out well in the Punk/Hardy situation because Punk was a heel and Hardy had a few chances previously with title matches so it helped Punk a lot to become the "asshole" style heel hated by fans for ruining the moment.

This one doesn't feel the same mainly due to Orton being a face and just arriving on the brand while Christian came off of his 1st title match. Before Edge retiring and the draft, it looked more possible Del Rio winning than Christian because he was getting pushed more than Christian.

The other major difference was Hardy had a good build up to his road to the title while Christian's push came off of Edge retiring and the sudden focus switching from Edge vs Del Rio to the branch storyline of Christian vs Del Rio.

There's a lot of speculation that Christian may turn heel but somehow I don't see it happening as I think the reason they put the belt on Orton was to make the guy to take it from him look even more credible. That person I am referring to could very well end up being Wade Barrett and if he beat Christian it wouldn't be as impressive am I right? It helped Miz when he cashed in MITB and btw i'd like to add that he looks so much better carrying the WHC than that spinner piece of crap.

I wonder if Christian gets jealous of Edge
 

11 WH/WWE Championship reigns

One 2 day WH Championship reign

ANOTHER thread about this? Really?

...Christian fans are LIVID, Juan.

During the ending of Orton winning, notice how Christian just felt completely silenced and scratching his head in frustration and he looks at the ring one last time when he leaves.. His expression says it all, "Think it's time to either retire or beat the shit out of Orton."

...you know wrestling's fake, right? He KNEW he was going to lose.

Just watched the match, the ending was very well done. Love some of the stunned faces in the crowd. :lol:

The majority of the crowd ate it up though...good pop...

...looks like the majority of those angry with what happened reside on the internet.

What the truck dude? They changed Sin Cara's theme. It was so good before. Now it's weird and I can barely hear half of it.

lol ya I am exacly at that point in Smackdown and was wondering if the theme was the same.

What the hell is this?

You know what? I think they switched to the theme they used in his promos.

The theme in his promos was the first theme he used, but the one on Friday is toned down on certain parts much like the variations of The Corre theme from that 1st one which was so good.

Triple H trying to bury his own signed talent by changing that awesome theme.

Not bad at all, I am a sucker for opera music.

He gets to come out to hot Hispanic bitches and wear a jersey with his own name on it while Latin hymns are playing in the background? Way better than the WWE entrance.

The least they could have done is have his name on a WWESHOP Wrestlemania jersey then.

I didn't read the thread but I feel like Christian might become heel and the title was a gift to Orton for going over to SD.
