Well it was said on Raw that Christian has retired. He is one of my favorites of all time. I first became a fan of his in TNA where he was truely given the chance to be a main event player. He had a great career in WWE with some great matches! Thank you Captain Charisma for the great matches and funny moments.

I've been a fan since he first came to the WWF in the 1990s. I even preferred him over Edge when they were still both in the Brood. I'm going to miss his ring work, but the guy had one hell of a career.

I'm sure he actually is retired but I'm still not putting it past them to just be saying he's retired so tonight's moment had more emotional impact and that he'll just be back in a few months like nothing happened.

I was thinking this too. 'Cause last I heard he wasn't officially retired and that WWE was just giving him indefinite time off to get healthy.

I was thinking this too. 'Cause last I heard he wasn't officially retired and that WWE was just giving him indefinite time off to get healthy. Last thing I heard from him was on Jericho's podcast in the summer, where it sounded like he was gonna wrestle again but they were waiting for the concussions to lessen or something of that nature. At Night of Champions Cole was saying they hoped he would one day compete again. Now things could have changed since then but who knows. If it is the end, he had a great run (much better if you include his TNA stuff, something I'd rarely say about the WWE to TNA guys), and will always be my favorite.

Christian has given a lot to wrestling and to wrestling fans, he ought to be able to walk away from it while he can still do so independently.

At least he got a decent run as World Champion.
NWA World Champion, that is.

I didn't like just how far they went to make Christian look like the lesser sidekick of Edge. They could have tweaked some things to make Christian look more like an equal. If Christian is not actually retired, then they didn't bother correcting the record during the show.
I wish they had handled his retirement differently. He did deserve more fanfare than having Lawler and Heyman mention it in passing. They should have had him announce it on the air and they should have done a special for him on the Network.

After that one hit knocked him out for forty hours, it's time.

I want someone to run into Edge and Christian backstage and bring up the fact that thy just heard about Christian's retirement and how they didn't know about it until it was mentioned off hand on Raw. Then Christian could say "Yeah, I didn't want to make a big deal about.....Unlike some people!" and turns to look at Edge. Shame he got killed on the night he retired. "Mendozaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hopefully he enjoys a nice, long retirement on the beach in Florida looking to normalise his tan

Christian is one of my all time favorites, and an underutilized talent for sure. I LOVED his TNA run. He was a great face, and when he turned heel and formed the Christian Coalition, he cemented himself as one of the best performers in the world at that point in time. He could have a good match with anyone, and could cut a hell of a promo as well. If this really is it for him, then I wish him the best.

I wouldn't be surprised if he came back next week to take on Rollins. It's not like he can't go, he's just prone to concussions, so it's best to wrap up his career instead of coming back for a few months at a time. Rollins taking him out with a curb stomp would suffice. Then he can come back for Old School Raws and an odd Rumble appearance here or there.

If he does have any gas left in the tank, I'd love it if he had his retirement match against someone on NXT. He would probably get a more emotional moment there than he'd get on the main show anyway.

I was hoping he'd wind up on NXT, too. Christian has had great runs when he's the big fish in a small pond. His ECW stuff in 2009 was one of the main draws that kept me watching that year. But it all depends on his health. I think it'd be a great way to go out if he had a run down there.
