It didn't ruin Christian...it elevated him in the main event picture as one of the top guys in Smackdown for the WHC picture. Win or Lose, WWE made Christian marketable.

I consider him "buried" b/c he's only won one of the six matches they've wrestled, and he won by DQ. I'd consider that squashed when you add in the fact that both his title reigns combined were like two weeks. Not to mention on a weekly basis he's billed as the guy who can't pin Orton. I understand him using underhanded tatics to win, but in this case he's not even doing that. And the fued has kept him in the main events, albeit as a fluke competitor.
Again, I ask what you definition of burying a character is. The way the announcers were putting over the cage match, it's the last match the two will have for the forseeable future. Thus meaning his 1/6 win will be the only win he got in the fued by DQ. Which to me cheapens the heel turn and makes him look incredibly inferior to Orton. Not saying he has to win cleanly in a straight up match, but a clean win by heel tatics would've been a refreshing ending to me.
