Anyone sorta snicker when they continually say that on ECW? I know TNA is a joke to WWE but they make it sound like Christian has been on a beach drinking margaritas for 2 years

It's not like they're going to say that he was wrestling in TNA, if you're expecting that, you're going to be in for a major dissapointment.

Maybe say he's been honing his skills on the indies?

I half-wonder if Christian's reappearance actually got TNA some extra ratings (since they finally broke the 1.3 barrier a week or so after his return to WWE TV).
I mean, he comes back, they save he's been "gone" for three years and people wonder where he was so they look it up.
It's not impossible.

Are we sure this wasn't just misheard and in fact Striker was saying he's be on Hyatt for the past two years?
We know how much he loves his wrestling's skankiesh manager jokes

So the fact that he's a two-time World Champion will never be used to get him over, eh...?

Yeah, it's a little silly. I remember when Jeff Hardy came back they said he was "wrestling around the world" or something like that. They could have at least said that about Christian.

It doesn't mean that Christian has been on a hiatus from wrestling, just wwe.

A former decent NFL quarterback who's been winning left and right in NFL Europe or in other minor leagues shouldn't be hailed as a sure-fire Superbowl MVP on his comeback just because he was successful among lesser competitors... Same goes for midcarders who found glory in Midcarders' Paradise |

Striker did say Three Year Hiatus, and that he probably has some ring rust.
That was awesome.

Maybe say he's been honing his skills on the indies? But WWE had known of Christian being on the indies pre-WWE. And he had been with WWE since like '97? '98? No real reason why he'd need to further his skills in that case in the minds of the average fan I wouldn't think. |

I beleiev you are refferencing the only thing Ric Flair ever said that pissed me off. But the point was taken. To compare the two as far as the size of stage would be foolish. But an actor who does a soap opera and an actors who does primetime tv are both still actors. A garbage man in LA is the same as a garbage man in Paduka Kenntuky |

If you were seriously expecting WWE to say that Christian was wrestling for TNA this whole time, you need to get your brain checked.
