Christian is still one of the best in-ring performs today and can out talk most people on the mic. When asked the past 2 years he seems visably upset that the WWE won't do anything with him. He can still go. He can contribute to the show. Use him.

Christian's best and worst move was going to TNA. Those were definitely his best days, but it probably tainted him in Vince's eyes. Vince has definatly held it against him since he returned in 2009 but its not like Vince was doing anything with him before he left. He was getting over big on Raw and instead of giving us a much anticipated Cena/Christian feud he was made a third wheel in the Cena/Jericho feud. He was then placed in midcard hell on Smackdown until he left. I think Christian had to leave and prove himself in TNA or he would have been stuck in midcard hell for his whole career with the WWE.

He was awesome in TNA. Though his character was best in 2005. I felt he was hitting his cocky stride and could have been booked well against Batista for the WHC. But the rug was pulled from under him by Vince then, and many times later. Because Vinny Mac thought Christian was a "weasel face".
His last run was boring as a character. All that he had before he went to TNA was gone. Sure he became a heel again, but missed those qualities he had before.

How did Vince hold it against him? He returned and they gave him the ECW Title and the World Title....if that's a grudge Im pretty sure just about every wrestler in the locker room would love to piss Vince off. The problem with "Captain Charisma" is that his Charisma last about as long as a headache. He can come back on RAW this week and will get a good pop but in 2-3 weeks fans simply wont care about him anymore. Sure he'll have his random scattered few fans like all wrestlers do but he has never shown he could maintain any steam or momentum. Good worker? Sure....and if he has a clean bill of health (which Im not sure he does honestly) he could be used somewhere on the roster and probably deserves it but he's not a top name/main event guy.

Never been a huge fan of his. Seems a good guy though, he at least deserves a retirement match or a short run in NXT.

He was booked to be a top star on SD before plans changed and he was made the champ on the "C" show. Hell as ECW Champ he wasn't even featured on half the PPVs that year. He was then placed on SD in 2010 and did nothing of note except job cleanly to guys like Kofi, ADR, Ted Dibiase, etc... Then when he finally won the big one it was simply because Edge got hurt. Not because Of Christian's talent but because Edge had to retire. His reign then lasted 2 days (4 on TV). Sure more than most guys but nothing lto brag about. And if the WWE actually booked him in a decent feud fans wouldn't give up 2 weeks later.

If WWE doesn't want to use him, there's always TNA. Oh, wait...

He was a great midcarder at best. I liked him, but not enough to really care if I ever see him again. Never really understood the hardcore Christian love from people to be honest. No way was he better than edge as a total package, maybe in the ring but that's about it.

One of my Top 3 Favorites. I really want to see him have one more run, but it seems like he's done.

Christian was definitely good, but no way in hell was he better than Edge.

Hell as ECW Champ he wasn't even featured on half the PPVs that year. The only Ppvs he missed as champ were hell in a cell and bragging rights 2009.
