Was Christian taller than those guys? Feel like Benoit had really short legs
|
Benoit did not have big legs compared to his gargantuan upper body. Neither did Eddie.

Do you even know what rats look like? Because this comparison is absolutely terrible. |

I'm looking at pics of Christian right now and there is nothing there. He's weird looking. |
Don't think Christian is weird looking at all. When he had to get off the gas and age made it harder to work out or whatever, he didn't look "credible" in the main event role. He looked like a pretty healthy cagey guy and could obviously move, but he didn't come off as a heavyweight player. I was thinking about this the other day (and I love Christian), but I wish he had gotten more chance, or taken it upon himself, to really play his image into his matches towards the end of his WWE run. I'd have liked to see him work as more of a "desperate" veteran looking for one shot at glory.
Still pisses me off he never got a real chance as a babyface. Whenever he was a face they would basically cut the mic on him. Maybe not so much in ECW, but I don't remember Christian having any real babyface promos on SmackDown or Raw. |
Christian was awesome during his final active years. That sensors with Orton was a hell of a way to go out. I never had an issue with his look. Also I feel he could’ve been used better but still had a fantastic career.
|
He should still be champion to this day
|
The way Christian’s career ended saddens me. His last match was on a random Raw and he didn’t even get a sendoff moment.

But their general horrible storytelling even today works as a good "pot calling the kettle black" reference, too. |
My favourite thing about WWE is how they book all of their babyfaces like fucking dorkasses who are constantly outsmarted and half of its heels like badass submission machines, and the other half like cunning bastards you have to respect - then is like "BUT THE FANS ONLY LOVE HEELS."
|
I seriously think the way Carmella beat Asuka and then having her beat Charlotte clean in the middle of the ring may be the dumbest booking decisions I've ever seen. Even more so in hindsight now that she's a comedy character. Does she even wrestle still?
|
They went out of their way to make her look strong as fuck (possibly better, even) against the two women on the brand who were treated like the top of the food chain at WrestleMania. If they did it because they actually thought she would end up being a huge deal based on her in-ring skill ala Charlotte and Asuka, that's pretty fucking dumb. If they knew she'd end up as a comedy non-wrestling character in a few months, then it's REALLY fucking dumb.
|
Oh sorry, other than the dork babyfaces, there's the one "Superman" who's so overpowered that fans find it contrived because they aren't simpletons and it somehow further stokes the "Fans love heels" flame. Talk about not being able to look at yourself in the mirror.

I've always liked Christian and I absolutely loved the guy during his 2003-2005 run on Raw when he cut his hair and started calling his fans "his Peeps" and so on.
It's probably the best he's ever been in my opinion. I've always kinda felt that his move to SmackDown in 2005 did more bad than good for him, as he seemed to just disappear on SmackDown and he didn't really do anything noteworthy during his time there. He didn't even with a single championship. As for his look, I've never viewed him as being "rat-faced" and I think his best look was when he cut his hair in 2003 up until he left WWE in 2005. I've mentioned this here before but being at TNA seemed to have done something to him, as when Christian returned to WWE from TNA, he looked different. He looked thinner (especially his calfs) and there must have been something in the water at TNA because his skin looked really yellow. He looked like he had jaundice. He just generally didn't look healthy at all. His promos weren't the same too. In fact, they were pretty much the exact opposite of what they were like before he left WWE. His promos after he returned in 2009 came across as a bit mediocre and he always delivered his promos in a somewhat "monotone shouting voice" and he just didn't appear to have the same "swagger" or confidence with the mic that he did before he left. Even though he was somewhat successful in TNA, I've always felt a little bit that TNA really "hurt him" and "brought him down" and kinda "devalued him" in a way, as he was better than TNA but he went there and it appeared (to me at the time of his WWE return) that TNA really rubbed off on him during his three years there and he just wasn't the same Christian he was before he went to TNA. He never really seemed to "fully recover" from that (in my opinion) during his second time in WWE up until his retirement. I still like the guy though and I do still feel that he was a big wasted talent during his time in WWE. |

I used to like McGregor, but I always find it funny how those fighters keep acting tough after getting their asses handed to them.

Hmmm.. not really. Unless you're just a straight up hater.

I mean, go and challenge Conor McGregor to a fight and I'm pretty sure you'll understand quite quickly why he acts tough.

And the argument below is really stupid. I'm not a professional fighter. |

But the toughest ones don't need to brag. :) Did Georges St. Pierre ever brag? Pretty sure he'd kick McGregor's ass. If they were the same weight class, which I have no idea if they are and am too lazy to check. |
That wasn't Georges' style and it made him very likeable. But Conor is more of a heel/Muhammed Ali-type who talks them into the arena. If he suddenly stopped "acting tough" he would cease being Conor McGregor.

Ok then, ok then.
I'm in a very hippie mood today for some reason. |

Still Randy Orton's best opponent of all-time though. |
Watching RAW from Monday. I like that Tamina is being "featured." She should be a bigger star.

I never liked his cursive designs. It wasn't really eye catching and just made his tights look really plain and that he was just wearing plain black tights, which is never a good look for anyone, especially Christian as it just made his legs (especially his calves) appear thinner than what they were. Also, to me, it'll always be The Unprettier. I get why the name was changed to The Killswitch, as it does sound more "cartoony" as it was just around the time the "PG Era" was taking off, also the move itself does look like a switch being pulled down and that it's "the end" for his opponents. However, The Unprettier, although not really "grammatically correct", made just as much sense, as the move smashes the opponents face into the ground, making him "not pretty" anymore thus, The Unprettier. |
