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 What better place to get a good laugh.

In the promo we saw Christian take a shot at MJF without saying his name. Could we be seeing the first signs of MJF turning face to fight against heeling ex WWE wrestlers?

Sometimes I forget how good of a villian Christian can be.

As long as he doesn't get more personal and talk about Jungle Boy's Uncle and his long time issues with drugs, alcohol, womanizing, and slapping his name on any product under the son.

I have never liked Christian, I have always thought he was a dullard.
But I will accept that was a decent, if cringy, promo.

I was thinking, he hasn’t been a heel since, what, 2011 with the feud against Orton? Could be wrong there but that was the most glaring heel he was. He was heel in 2014 but it wasn't very memorable (all I can think of is him facing Sheamus 800 times, an Elimination Chamber match, and retiring)

I now wanna see them get Jason Priestley to do a vignette with Christian and he just talks shit about Luke the whole time.

I couldn’t help but laugh at him going “I apologize that your whole family isn’t dead except your mother”. Just the biggest piece of shit, I love it.

I absolutely love heel Christian.
And I know even WWE seemed to realise it wasn't working and basically cancelled it but man this heel Christian is already a million times better than the recent heel Edge run.

There's a way Christian delivers the really edgy "Your family should be dead" stuff that's so unlike how most wrestlers would handle the material, and it's part of what makes heel Christian so great. He's not yelling, he's not aggressively trying to offend, he's just speaking plainly to let Jungle Boy know that it would be better if all of his relatives were dead so they didn't have to see him fail. It's so horrifically, beautifully self-centered. He's the best.

I only got around to watching Dynamite last week on Tuesday and when Christian was building to the dead father bit I was “Oh he’s gonna say, don’t you say it” then I winced and thought “He said it” once he did ha
It’s such a cheap line but he really does deliver them well

"I'm sorry your whole family isn't dead except for your hot mom" is so sleazy and beautiful. I was cackling.

He’s going “You were always a piece of shit, your family is shit and I wish they were dead” because, presumably, he thinks he’s done with him. Which then will make the mega pop that’ll happen the moment Tarzan Boy hits even sweeter.

Examples like Heenan vs. The Hart Family, Terry Funk vs. Dusty Rhodes, Gary Hart vs. Dusty Rhodes, Jim Cornette vs. Dusty Rhodes......okay, just about anyone vs. Dusty Rhodes.

Edge: 'Feast your eyes upon the dark herald of misfortune, reviling the uncouth masses on his mountain of omnipotence'
Christian: 'Your whole family sucks and your Dad's dead and your Mom wants to f*** me'
