Yeah, it would've made more sense with him turning heel. I'm assuming the whole reason Christian was turned was b/c in character he was frustrated that Orton beat him so easily. So, cheating to pin Orton makes a hell of alot more logical sense than winning via DQ. Otherwise, what was the point? If turning him gives him no edge and makes him look weaker, then it doesn't compute for me.

And why in the world are you throwing out names like HBK, Bret and Owen who all were booked like cowards when they were heels. Owen Hart pretended to have a broken arm so he could wrestle with a cast on for fucks sake. Those guys were booked strong when they were faces. Christian was booked strong when he was a face too. I really have no idea what your complaint is here because Christian is being booked the exact same way as all of those guys.
Again, apparently my whole point here was lost to you. I threw those names out b/c you seem to be hung up on the size issue. None of the guys were huge, but were convincing when it came to being believably dominating against big guys. Saying that b/c Christian is small, he can't be a dominating heel is wrong IMO. There are ways of booking around that. The guys I listed were examples of smaller guys that were booked alot better than Christian....
