Before Christian's matches start:
-Have him come down to the ring as he normally does (with Tomko). Tomko carries a huge 'amplifier' of sorts to the ring.
-Have him pose on the turnbuckle (a la Rock) like a true hero
-Have Tomko hook up the 'amplifier' near the ring, and have loud pre-recorded, "Let's Go Chris-Tian!" chants play.
During Christian's matches:
-Have Christian and Tomko act the same way as they are now.
-Have Christian create a "gesture" of sorts which positively acknowledges his 'peeps' (kinda the same way that DX used to have their crotch chops.....or how Benoit has his 'throat slit' thingy).
After Christian's matches
-Have Christian show GREAT enthusiasm after he wins his matches (along with Tomko). This would be somewhat similar to Angle in 99' when he debuted....although not as extreme.
-Have Christian pose once again on all 4 turnbuckle's.
-Have Christian sign autographs at ringside (if he wins)
Christian backstage and/or cutting promos
-Christian genuinely tells people positive things such as "Stay in school", and "you can do anything you set your mind to, etc".
Through time, I think the fans would really get behind a gimmick like this. It would be "dorky"...............but in a cool sort of way (if that makes sense).

That sounds to me like too much of a rip-off of other gimmicks. I think they should just let Christian do whatever he wants, he can really connect with the fans. Really, if he were to ditch Tomko and stop insulting fans/local sports teams, he'd be pretty much face. But really, I prefer him as a heel (much like how I prefer everybody with an ounce of charisma as a heel).
Also, that last thing about telling people to stay in school is just too much. That would not fit Christian at ALL.
