Was Christian held back in WWE? Let us know in the comments.
Christian was held back by WWE, because they didn't feel he was a main eventer until they saw him in TNA or Impact Wrestling. When he came back they put the belt on him only to push him down on the card once again.
yes
100%
Yes, and there's no valid arguement to say otherwise
In 05 he was fully on Chris Jericho's level and arguably even more popular than Edge until Edge turned Heel. Had he been pushed against Cena in the later 05 years we could've added Christian to one of Cena's greatest rivals.
That said, I wouldn't change a thing cause his TNA Impact run is too awesome and he literally elevated himself and guys like AJ and Joe to a more popular level while helping the show get more eyes.
Right now though he's arguably at his peak. His heel run at this stage is literally ultimate Sith levels to Edge/Adam's ultimate Jedi.
I can still remember back to the day after the Summerslam TLC, none of my mates had watched it and I was absolutely dying to talk about it.
WWE never saw Christian as a singles star.
How was he a former Intercontinental and Heavyweight Champion in WWE then? 🤦🏻♂️
@mister_malice he never got the heavyweight title until after his run in TNA and the intercontinental title has been put on many people that were never truly believed in or pushed it was kind of a consolation prize to try to keep talent
@@Mister_Malice Both Heavyweight reigns were short, first was 2 days and the next was 28 days.
@@Mister_Maliceain't no way y'all say this with a straight face.
@@Mister_Maliceu obviously don’t pay attention to his career 🙄
Christian / Christian Christian was always one of the most mature complete talents in wrestling and he deserved a way bigger push in WWE. Vince McMahon for some reason though always chose to hold him back while pushing lesser roided up men to the moon. There aren't many wrestlers in history as good as Christian Cage is and always was both in the ring and on the mic. His feud against Orton in 2011 is truly iconic. He's the most underrated wrestler of all time.
The only thing about E&C, the Hardys, & the Dudleys is that I wish they had more *wrestling* matches.
True but it made their matches more special as a result
@@jkq2006 But every single match? I really hate that the WWE is the only big dog in town. They refuse to book tag team wrestling (even to this day). I'll go as far as saying they refuse to book wrestling.
The mesh shirt was more over than Captain Charisma back then, but he sure found that rizz now!
I not only love that thought process of trying to steal the show every night but the part of that is forgotten today the style of those sane TLC matches was very different than what Austin and The Rock were doing which was different than what Triple H and Undertaker were doing. The problem today is everyone has that same thought process but so many people want to do it the sameway and as a result so many of them get lost in the shuffle Edge and Christian stoodout no matter where they were on the card was because they were different and worked different.
Remember The Brood Gangrel, Edge + Christian
My all time favorite group
And yet, Christian never became WWE main eventer.
The only reason why he won world title twice is because Vince wanted to show everyone that Christian is not a championship material.
Kinda backfired if that was the case cause Orton/Christian had arguably the best feud of the year if Cena/Punk wasn't your thing.
Isn’t it because edge left
@@mrmoviemanic1let me tell you. Christian should have been in the top list same as Randy, John, Kurt, Batista, Edge. Screw Vince. TNA did him right as their top star.
@@bradley5431‼️‼️
@@bradley5431I have the same thoughts as u..I made him the world champ in svr 2006 lol go RUclips - are you a good person by living waters
All these tag teams on the main event but, I thought Vince doesn't like tag teams
wwe always had plans for edge, it was just a matter of time
Back in late 04, Christian was on Smackdown and had a bit of steam. I thought him winning the Rumble in 05 would have made sense. He was coming into his own as a character, a swarmy heel but the E went with Batista. Batista didn’t need it. He could have been champ without the whole RR - WM package. This was probably I started falling out of love with wrestling. Christian being kicked to the curb, Cena denouncing his rap gimmick. All just got corny from there. Took a three dimensional character like Christian and made him fodder for the “top guys”. Wasn’t fair on a talented hardworking guy who had put his body through hell for the company AND had personality and charisma of his own to bring to the party.
Actually I'm pretty sure Christian was on Raw in 04, that was when he had Tyson Tomko as his heater, and he was like the second best heel on the show behind Triple H, which was quite the accomplishment at the time
The rumble was obviously going to be part of Triple H's storyline, because this was reign of terror era, so Batista was gonna win, but the unintentional ending with Cena and Batista landing at the same time was what both of them needed to be elevated to the level they are at today
I might have had Christian win MotB in 2006, since RVD didn't really need the briefcase and could have just challenged Cena at One Night Stand without it. I think that really would have elevated him the same way it elevated Edge before that. Except Christian is definitely a better promo than Edge, especially back then. People think Christian is fire now? He was fire while he was Captain Charisma too. I remember him cutting this great babyface promo in Canada where he took an already hot crowd and made them go wild.
Christian Cage always had it all. One of the best and most complete wrestling talents of all time. Vince McMahon for some crazy reason always tried to hold him back while pushing way lesser men. Christian deserves way more credit than he gets.
Christian didn't have the look of a top star, very generic looking guy, not good enough at the time to be a top star when people who actually looked & seemed like larger than life characters were rising at the time.
@@elamcyril Like JBL right? 🤡
CHRISTIAN WAS SO UNDERUTILIZED BY WWE 😅
Before the steroids
Does he shoot on bribing the creative team? Lol
Jericho will always be ahead of both of them 😅
The only reason Edge became a top guy in WWE is because the real top guys left for various reasons, eg, Austin retired, Rock went to Hollywood, Brock got sick of the travel, Foley retired, Taker became a once a year attraction, etc. He was a good talent but he was never a guy that drew money
Edge drew crazy money.
You just described John Cena, CM Punk and 95 percent of the main event guys from 2005 to today.
@@redrick8900 nope
@@Deathcomes4usall I didn't ask if you were smart.
BS. Undertaker didn't become part timer until 2010, long after Edge had already established himself as a main event talent. And Edge became a top guy at a time when the roster was stacked. Cena, Randy, Batista, HHH, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle (for a short time), the aforementioned Undertaker, etc. Edge also headlined Wrestlemania 24, which did more buys than any attitude era Wrestlemania ever, and gave Raw it's highest ratings in years after he cashed in on Cena, which stayed for the duration of his 3 week reign before dropping again after he prematurely lost the title back to Cena at the Rumble. The only reason people don't wanna credit Edge was because he always played the heel (and so PPV successes were attributed to the babyfaces) and because TV ratings lowered generally across the entire era where he was a top guy compared to the Attitude Era (which is an industry trend, TV viewership decreased generally over time. Hollywood Rock coming back didn't change that then, just like Rock coming back hasn't changed that now).
Christian was not a WWE main eventer, mid carder.
