Who the fuck is going to take Christian seriously as a dominating heel? He weighs 190 lbs and is matched up with the guy with the best look in the company. It is what it is. Just enjoy it.

In most cases, a wrestler turning heel gives them an advantage in the fued. His character is the cowardly, whiny guy, but that doesn't mean he has to be booked as inferior to Orton. To me, Christian being frustrated after losing the belt was the perfect opportunity to set him up to use dirty tactics to pin Orton once and for all. Especially after his heel turn started off so well with him nailing Orton with the WHC. As far as I'm concerned, not taking full advantage of him utilizing dirt tactics to pin Orton for the belt is lazy booking. Maybe not popular consensus here, but it's my opinion on it. It's not like I'm trying to change ppl's opinion. Which is ironic, since that seems to be what others are trying to do with me here...
Again, I think it's the streotypical 80's way of thinking to say cause he's 190 lbs, he can't dominate someone in a match. The size issue is always an easy excuse to book him shitty. Funny how no one ever claimed HBK, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Benoit or Eddie Guerrero couldn't be believable dominating forces. All were relatively similar in weight and height to Christian, but all were built up well despite their not being huge guys.
With size, it's not as though he has to toss Orton around like a ragdoll to be a dominating heel. Him utilizing dirty tactics and underhanded manuevers would be all the physicality he would need to be believable. Not like he has to destroy every big guy in WWE to be a convincing dominating heel.
