It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side *No Spoilers*

My friend told me that after we discussed Edge's unfortunate retirement. But as we really got into discussion, he said those words and all I could say was..

Doesn't it?

The WWE itself could not have painted a better picture for Christian to take up the mantle, and honestly, they couldn't anyways. This all happened in a series of both fortunate and unfortunate events, and all of it has placed Christian in the spotlight to take up where Edge left off.

I for one will miss Edge, and I hope that even though he's retired, he'll stick around, especially for Christian.

But for years, we as Christian fans were jerked around and teased that Christian would come somewhat close to the WHC picture. This year, we were subjected to a reality that Christian being in Edge's corner at Wrestlemania was as close as it'll get.

But now, the stars have aligned for Christian. Christian's original purpose was to simply win over ADR a few times to make Edge, who is booked as the better of the two, look good. Christian's mini-feud with ADR was only supposed to fan the fire with ADR vs Edge. But now look what happened. Now, Edge's career-ending injury suddenly makes Christian's feud with ADR that much more important, and Christian does indeed have an even matchup with the Essence of Excellence. He is in direct confrontation with ADR even when WWE Creative didnt mean it.

If that's not close to destiny as it gets, I don't know what is.

He's not winning the title and you're insanely delusional if you think it's even a possibility.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

Hell it was destiny for every WWE superstar when The Rock and Austin left the WWE. Anything is possible now in the WWE.

I don't think he's winning the title at all. Nor did I even remotely mention Christian winning it. But rather, Christian will take up Edge's position as the top face simply because the situation has forced WWE Creative to do so. All the cards were placed in the best position that Christian has ever had in years.

I know you're too inclined to think that Christian isn't going to get jack of anything, so I won't bother. Just wanted to correct you.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

Well then what's the point of this thread? It's his destiny to be a titleless jobber like he always is? Being the top face doesn't mean a fucking thing without the title.

Tell that to Orton or Cena.

Christian can become the top face by merely chasing the title and not getting it.

The point of this thread is to show that with all the ways for Christian to gain the opportunity to even remotely chase the title, WWE Creative didn't have to do a damn thing, cause it all fell into place. While he may not win, it placed him right back to where he was in 2005; in main event position.

And you gotta take a chill pill. lol

You mean the guys that have 16 world titles between the two of them? Ok.....

Which means nothing. If you haven't been world champion, you're a failure. Period. He can take Cena's place next year at WM and pin The Rock for all I care, without a title reign it's a waste.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

It is now or never for Christian. With Edge's sudden retirement this his best chance of getting that main event push. While I'd like to see it happen I will most certainly not get my hopes up. At best I see Christian competing for the championship but never actually capturing the thing. A feud with ADR is likely and will probably end at Over The Limit and then we'll see Christian back where he usually is and that is feuding over the IC title with Wade Barrett.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

ADR should come out saying that it was his destiny to win at WM, but since Edge ruined that the gods are punishing him.

Cheap heat, I know but whatever.

Bollocks. There are plenty of successful superstars who have not had a world title reign and have been deemed legends. That's a lot of success right there.

I still don't get that, even to this day. Piper wasn't anywhere near a failure, nor was Perfect and Steamboat.

It may eat at them a little bit that they never won it, but honestly, Christian is in league with good men the likes of those I mentioned.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

Vince will never forgive Christian for jumping to TNA. Seriously, that's why he's buried this guy time and time again. Christian is over, talented and charismatic. He has it all. But Vince is so vindictive, so capable of holding a grudge, that Christian's shot will never come again.

The day Christian wins the title is the day I eat my Sunday hat. Vince has it in for this guy. Why else would he ignore how over Christian is? Why else would he ignore the guy on a show experiencing a talent drought? Christian has enemies in very high places, that's what I think.
Why else would his hard work be ignored?
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

Does jumping to TNA really matter?

I mean, Jeff Hardy won his first title after coming back from TNA

They would be stupid not to put the belt on Del Rio at this point, he's over, ready match quality wise and just acts like champion.

Never really seen Christian as a main eventer honestly, good worker, decent talker, upper midcarder In my honest opinion.

But that's because Jeff Hardy is not just 'over'. He's SUPER over. No matter how many times that loser no-shows an event, dulls his mind with hard drugs or gets arrested with an ass full of hash, the kiddies love him. It's pathetic, but he was always going to be a massively popular champion.

Christian is consistently good in the ring and always impresses me on the mic. He doesn't pull stupid shit like other wrestlers do and the fans know him and recognise his hard work.

Considering his record, I can think of no other reason why he's not yet been made a world champion. I sincerely believe it all stems from his TNA run. I think Vince is that petty. But hey, I could be wrong. I'd love to be proven wrong because I respect Christian a great deal and want him to win the big one.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

Extreme Rules should be good for the Ladder Match alone. Whether Del Rio fulfills his destiny or Christian finally wins the world title, it works either way!

Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

i seem to be the only person who doesnt care that Christian gets the world championship.

Ild have thought edge retiring has hurt christians chances as if he was going to get the belt it would have been during a feud with Edge.

He's a troll, why do people insist on replying to him?...

Anyway, they don't seem to want to build up any more faces. I got massive neg rep for saying Edge would be lucky to make it to Wrestlemania, and I was right. He shouldn't of wrestled at Mania.

Mysterio will be lucky to make it to next Wrestlemania, Trips and Taker are as good as done wrestling anything but 1-2 matches a year, Big Show and Kane have another year in them at best and that leaves Cena and Orton as the only two faces to carry the entire company.

Christian is the most over face next to Kofi. These guys should be slotting in right where Edge and the others leave off. As we see with R Truth, they aren't against pushing older superstars.
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

Despite it seeming impossible... It appears that fate might be a peep as well...
Re: It's as if Destiny is on Christian's side

I've been thinking about this too, and it does seem that, though unfortunate for Edge, that the stars have all aligned for Christian to take his place. The build-up Chrisitian got against Del Rio only helped.

And about TNA, Vince has looked past that for a while now. Stop living in 2009.
