He's good not great. Nothing wrong with that.

WWE would kill to get the kind of crowd reaction Christian was pulling in '05. And the beautiful thing is, his character from back then was 100% PG and family friendly. He was a cocky dork more or less. It worked then, I think it could work just as good today (if not better given the audience shift). He's already getting top level pops from months of being on ECW, I say he's one or two decent programs on RAW away from being a serious contender in that category. If I were the E, I'd start planning on building the company around Punk, Edge, Christian and Cena. Orton's been stale for a little while...Taker, HBK, and Bats can't carry the torch for too much longer. HHH is going to be like Flair in WCW; always there but his best drawing days are behind him. You take a guy like Christian, it's easy to pass him off as face or heel, in both instances he's kiddie safe...he's not injury prone, doesn't show signs of roiding, and I think he could be a great spokesperson for the company. Every single time WWE has thrown him table scraps, he's made an enjoyable feast. The fact that McMahon isn't instantly sold on him won't last forever - remember McMahon initially wasn't wild'n'crazy over Jericho and after Mania 18 everyone assumed he'd not only never hold a world title, but certainly never main event at Mania ever again......well......McMahon can be won over. I don't know where the limits of Christian's potential is, I just know I've never seen him struggle to exceed expectations. Sooner or later, he'll get his real shot.
