I never met nor seen one person in real life who said Christian was their favorite wrestler... :mjlol:

Christian was always ass breh... The internet is the only place I see people trying to convince us Christian was a thing lol

Do you know how much credibility TNA lost in my eyes when I turned the channel and that man was champion 🤣 I was like wtf this nikka doing in the main event.

Because he fukking sucks.

Was a flop until the Matt Hardy feud. He was pushed hard but didnt do great. He had nothing going till he fukked Lita.

Christian carried him and was always the better wrestler.
pretty much, decent promo and entrance, good heel work but was never captivating in the ring unless it was a gimmick match or he was paired with a far superior talent, he made the most out of his ability though so kudos to him

his recent run has exposed him no doubt

I think Billy Gunn was JR.


Nope.

Vkm

Billy Gunn is the archetype for what vkm believes is world champion main event at status.
Billy is one of rhe very few guys. From rhe nwa who was brought up.
without demeaning him like vkm.
has treated't past nwa workers in that era.


Jr is rabid about guys named Steve.

Stone cold Steve Austin

Dr death Steve williams

Edge spear is one of the most overrated moves ever. I get it you're not supposed to injure a guy like Goldberg does, but many wrestlers did the spear better, like Rhyno, Lashley, etc.

Edge just runs out there, hugs his opponent and gently slams him. I'm supposed to believe this move has landed him so many victories? Nah...


Still not sure why he ditched Kanyon's flatliner finish.

Or the edge-a-cution or the edge-matic.


Edge has a huff ass moveset.
coupled with no real workrate worth a damn.

edge singularlh was garbage as hell in the smackdoen six era.
If properly compared in context.
to similar runs from the past.
or similar promotion in that era. Edge was garbage to the revamped tag division launched in later in wcw. After wcw redesigned the wcw tag titles.
Wcw tag champions era with:


raven franchise saturn eddy Benoit Rey Rey [Who would become the principles in the jump squad. Plus this also began.
what would become how franchise.
was buried as a professional era inring as well]

all the stuff that happened in the smackdown six era. Was neutered from the workrate from the wcw revamped tag titlea era.
late in wcw's pre russo history era.

not to mention the original paul e style tag champion, Mexican three way opening dance matches in ecw too.

Edge always had potential but he came up in the Attitude Era with a lot of the greatest performers of all time so it was hard to cut a place out there. He basically had to develop his skills until that late 90s class phased out.


He then had to spend time building up credibility and getting over as guys who have been there middling typically do. But once he got going, he was one of their most consistent performers at the top.
