I doubt that. Christian's clearly being positioned as a heel and Randy Orton's character isn't really meant to appeal to kids Just judging by the fangirl screams, the RKO chants and the amount of kids I see jumping up and down in the crowd for Orton. I'd say he is (in my estimation) the 2nd most popular wrestler with the kids. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that WWE is trying to split the audience. They want Orton to be the clear favorite...  |

I hate it. I think Christian's crappy new shirt sums up the sabotage that WWE is doing to his career at the moment. Hit the switch. Lights out. It's over.
The only thing keeping me interested is Sheamus waiting in the wings. That's all, fella.

Not really; I like Christian ok, but am largely blase on both guys. The thing that's making the angle not really work for me though, is it's so one-sided. For it to make any sense, Orton shouldn't be so thoroughly dominating. All it's making it do is make Christian look like a complainer that just can't get it done.

I do.
I like Christian playing the whiny heel like he was in 2005.
It's the most interesting storyline on Smackdown currently IMO, it one of the thing's I look for in Smackdown.

I completely agree I was just saying that Orton is quite popular with the kids, which you seemed to disagree with in your OP. |

TBH, I enjoyed Christian a lot more as a face which is unusual for me. He just seemed to be so much better in the ring and was able to really get the crowd into every match. I kind of wish that they had kept him face but at the same time I understand the logic behind the turn. I'd rather see Christian as a heel than have them turn Orton heel again. I can't complain about the feud, Orton/Christian is the best match in WWE right now. Just ahead of Kofi/Dolph.

I never said he wasn't popular with the kids, just that his character isn't kid friendly...compared to men like Cena & Rey-Rey |

The matches have been good but this needs to end already. I'm sick of Christian facing Orton. Besides, Christian's heel turn has been lackluster in my opinion.
Sad thing is that Orton's been a lot more entertaining and putting on better matches since February, but everyone seems to be ignoring that because of their hard ons for Christian (and this is coming from a guy who said Orton was the most overrated guy on the roster not that long ago).

I don't need to be a fan Christian to recognize Orton for the overrated baby-oil-basted bore that he is. |
