His WWE ECW run was one of the best in-ring runs, on a consistent week to week basis, the company has had. He was consistently the better half of the Edge & Christian team. TNA run was hit and miss, but that’s how TNA was during that era, so I can’t blame him too much. Generally solid on the mic, good charisma. Never quite broke through to the top.

Gave him an 8.

His TNA run :ohlawd:


WWE never used him right as a singles wrestler, even when he won titles. TNA, however, gave us Christian Cage... :wow:


He was gold on the mic, especially as a heel. I remember when he used to constantly son AJ, until AJ finally had enough of that shyt. :russ:

He was putting in work in that ring :whew:
Nikka had great matches with everybody... Joe, Angle, AJ, etc. TNA circa '07 was godly, and got me back into wrestling, since I had stopped watching WWE a few years earlier.

Lastly, he had one of the GOAT theme songs...

:banderas:

It’s Christian :beli:

1

Christian gave us classic moments from the five second freeze frame to the Christian coalition in TNA and getting buried by the MEM. He got held back in the E and never truly got the run he deserved
