Ever since he started wearing the Turtleneck, Christian has been absolutely on fire. One of the best bad guys in wrestling right now, and this might be the best run of his career, dude has looked every inch a star and while Jungle Boy might have flopped as a solo face, it wasn't for the lack of trying on the part of Christian. Dude had a fantastic match with Allin on Collision, and I challenge anyone here to deny that he more than deserves his current run with the TNT Title.
On one hand, it's a shame that he waited so long to wear the turtleneck, his runs as Captain Charisma and The Instant Classic would have been legendary if only he wore it back then, but right now the magic of that garment is plain for all to see, I hope this run never ends and he keeps being the worlds greatest dad.

I love that offscreen he refers to his current character as "The Turtleneck Guy"

When he first started wrestling in a sleeveless one I was “Oh you POS” but in a good way

Today in catchphrases that could only work in wrestling: (I also love the absolute dickhead nature of him hating people who have dead fathers. Like it's so nonsensical and hilariously mean spirited which ends up making it way too fun and I never want an explanation for it.)

My favourite thing about this was the collective gasp from the entire crowd. They knew where he was going.

Someone who has the talent to do so, please make this into a “Say the line, Bart” meme and send it to Maffew.

Christian has always been a master of tactically-deployed clothing choices to get heat. Mesh shirts. Crazy-ass sunglasses. Suit coats with hoodies sewn into them. Just an immaculate ability to weaponize minor annoyances.
He's legitimately my favorite wrestler in the world right now, and honestly I think he has been almost any time he's been active since his ECW championship run, either as a face or a heel. Criminally underrated as a worker when he's a face and one of the most brilliant scumbag creeps of all time as a heel who manages to keep finding new variations on the act and somehow getting funnier with it every time he does it.

So, assuming he DOES ultimately sign with AEW... you think Edge does something to one up the turtleneck?
Adam "Argyle Sweatervest" Copeland?

I think MAYBE outside of his early TNA run, this is the best period of Christian's career. He is on another level at the moment. I hope he...uh...I mean Luchasaurus!...keeps the TNT title for a long ass time.

Biggest missed opportunity ever that we didn't get this Christian feuding with Cody.

I love how his current gimmick can basically be described as "sublter version of Bossman's worst person ever".
