GodDAMN, Christian!
I low key expect Jason Priestly to hop on Twitter and shoot back at a Christian because wrestling in 2022 is just that kinda awesome weird 😂
Also, not entirely sure if Max can see a damn thing wherever he is tonight (“at home washing his Burberry!”) given that he’s covered in the mountain shade Christian threw on him in that promo 👀😂

I stand by that the Christian promo simply did more for me than the MJF Pipebomb did, and I still enjoyed the MJF Pipebomb
Christian's was just a masterclass, he took every single shot he could and that crowd DESTESTED him, they were so into it, he'd waited a long time to unleash his heel side again, unfiltered.

Like I KNEW as soon as that shit happened last week that inevitably a Luke Perry reference would make its way into this. And even with that expectation I still muttered “gawwwwdDAMN!” out loud when he went there. Just…brilliant work.

Anyone who watched his feud with Abyss where he was the heel will understand why I was so nervous what Christian was gonna say when Luchasaurus came down the ramp. Oh my god lmao. Also I think Chiral made this last year and I've had it saved since

I am still laughing at the fact that he said he did minimal work for a lot of money and how sleazy it all was...That was amazing

I get why some might've loved this particular line, but I honestly didn't.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the rest of Christian's heel promo, and the potential alliance with Luchasaurus hinted at, but I just kinda feel uneasy when dead relatives are brought up for cheap heat.
(for the record, I felt the same way when MJF was talking about Brian Pillman Sr. last fall)

Why do you feel uneasy with the mentioning of someone’s dead relative? I’d have to assume they cleared it, you didn’t that person personally, they did.

Tbh, MJF's pipe bomb-esque promo rubbed me the wrong way. Though I'm just done with worked shoots in general.
OTOH, I think dead relatives are fair game as long as it's cool with the other person.
Either way, that was a master class of heeling by Christian.

Christian should really emphasize his heel turn by doing his super-f***ing-long 2K games entrance.

Why do you feel uneasy with the mentioning of someone’s dead relative? I’d have to assume they cleared it, you didn’t that person personally, they did. Probably so, though I do remember when they cut Jericho taking a shot at Dusty once because that hadn't actually been cleared by Cody, who wasn't keen on going there with the feud. Still, that was then, this is a more recent death and I'd imagine Christian would be less likely to wing this kind of thing than Jericho.

THAT was exactly how you take a heel turn and level up. It was uncomfortable, cheap and he deserves to get his ass beaten. Jungle Boy is going to be the biggest babyface in the company when he eventually kicks his ass. Christian is the man.

Y'all forgot how much of a God this man is as a heel. Unmask Luchasaurus as his heavy and strap him the f*** up because this man can carry your show while you wait for Punk to get healthy

People are right to compare them to MJF because, like, I feel Christian’s comments make sense in the canon of the show. He would be bitter about Jungle Boy eliminating him and he would be the sort of guy to say “People like Jungle Boy, and the people are pricks, so let me latch onto this kid and see where he goes” and toss him the moment things weren’t working out.
And yeah, if they implied Christian helped get Marko tossed, it at least adds another layer to things and opens the door to a one off before the big Jungle Boy match.
It was everything the MJF promo wasn’t IMO.

A year long con over petty bullshit is legit the most Christian Cage thing ever.
