To be honest, I think these crowd reactions were why Christian was moved to SmackDown! and put into mid-card feuds with no real development. Christian was just outshining the "Supermen" the WWE wanted to create, and there was some sort of backlash. There's no other reason for it.

There is another reason for that. I was there and it was in Manchester, England. Back then, those crowds were similar to NYC and Canada in that they didnt buy into the bullshit that almost every american crowd does. Thats why Christian got such a good pop. Then he went back to America and the crowd reaction died because you guys sit on your hands and do what you are told to do like cheer for Cena's muscles or Orton's face.
