It was slightly messy and rambling, but in small doses that can really add to a promo and it did here. It didn't sound rehearsed and scripted, he just sounded like an absolute dick. His reasons were so petty and uncool and that's exactly how heel Christian should be. Plus the manipulation of Luchasaurus was really well done too.

I love how Christian reverse-engineered that promo from ‘crap, I’ve been with Jungle Boy for a year and I just stand there doing nothing.’ It’s been my biggest complaint about this slow heel turn and this so-called deeply meaningful mentor relationship.
Christian said: ‘f*** that. Easiest paycheck ever’, and I love him for it. I absolutely adore him. He did more to put Jungle Boy over in one promo than a year of passive peptalks. And in the process, he’s become an invaluable talent again.

I’m here for heel DILF Christian Cage. He should claim that everyone’s mom wants him. Every feud is him trying to be his opponent’s new dad.

A year long con over petty bullshit is legit the most Christian Cage thing ever. When you think about, it gets even more petty. Christian said JB cost him a title shot and money. Mind you, what did Christian do last year? Win the Impact Wrestling Unified World Title and beat Omega anyway. Christian is such an asshole, when he wins, Jungle Boy has to pay the price. Damn, that's hateful!

This is the Christian Cage I feel in love with in TNA as a heel.
He was just nasty, at times.

That was a great promo and far better than Maxwell's whining and using smark terms.

I loved the promo, cringed a bit at the Dead dad line but the heat it got from the crowd won me over. That crowd really added to the segment they let Christian have it. Christian also planting the seed for an MJF feud maybe? The line about Jungleboy’s mum having a thing for him killed me. As serious as the promo was I loved the glimpse of the funny & sleazy side of Christian’s heel character.
Also that promo did so much for Jungleboy. This is the biggest feud and spotlight he’s had in AEW so far.

Yeah this promo was way better than MJF’s. Christian heeled it up but everything still fit into kayfabe. Even the shade thrown at MJF was perfectly within the context of the story/show. Hell, he even explained why he was literally just standing around for a year rather than wrestling, and made it work as both an explanation and character motivation. It was really well done, and MJF’s wasn’t in the same league. Only referring to the promo itself, not the delivery (MJF’s delivery is never a question).

All of this evil because he was eliminated from an every man for themselves battle royal makes it that much better

I get Okada return being number 1 but Christian Promo was the highlight of the show and easy contests for top 1 or top 2

I guess AEW didn't realize Christan was about to ether the entire Perry family and the very concept of honesty

I liked it, Christian thrives as a heel and curious to see where this goes with Luchasaurus also.

This felt like having Christian truly back for the first time in maybe a decade. Tail end of his WWE run was rough, and I didn't see his comeback, and he hasn't been bad in AEW, but I forgot how good he is as a heel.
This promo was magnificent. A true masterpiece. This promo was so good I was cackling out loud at it while watching it on my lunch break. Outdoors. AT WORK
My favourite promo on AEW in a long time, and their promo standard is very high

My favorite, favorite line was "you'll eat my crumbs and enjoy it."
f*** me running, the way he delivered that was so perfect and unlike anything else we've seen.
"You'll eat my crumbs and enjoy it." f***, Christian is the best. The absolute best.

If Mox wins the AEW title Sunday Christian Cage should be the one to dethrone him
