In this scenario, Cena is Jason, as he's just boring and bland and milquetoast and generically good at everything. Zack is...I can't even stretch and say he's Tommy. He might be Billy


Zack is Zack, ironically enough.

1.) I never wanted Jason to have anything good, Billy was the best male Ranger pre-Tommy.

2.) It sucks because it's poorly acted, takes up the entire show, doesn't involve wrestling, and takes time away from more important angles.

3.) It gives WWE a kayfabe reason to keep Ryder off the show. We want to see him in the ring, not crippled and pathetic.

4.) You can't even argue that this angle is for kids because seriously, little boys don't care about romance, and they certainly don't yet understand the Friend Zone.

WWE history has repeatedly shown that Christian is very weak-minded, from Gangrel's manipulation, to Edge & Christian's title-saving shenanigans, to the inferiority complex over Edge finally reaching singles success, to the temper tantrums over losing the European Title, to the jealousy over Chris Jericho's success, Christian has always, always taken the easy way out when faced with adversity. In ECW he never had to, as a big fish in a small pond, but SmackDown is a much deeper pond than ECW.

So when given a bevy of easy excuses ("Making me defend it so soon was unfair!" "My foot was under the rope!"), the weak mind of Christian pounced on them, and reveled in them, and actually managed to use them to backdoor his way to the title one more time (he might be the only World Champion ever who earned that status by being kicked in the balls). But the cream always rises to the top, and in the end, Orton walked away with what was rightfully his.

At least until Mark Henry earned a shot...

B) It was utterly generic - there was no complexity or character development going on here, what was the point? "The bad guy is bad"? Like every single other heel ever? Wow, a heel who wants to win the title by cheating and get out of defending it if at all possible, when have I seen that before, certainly not every major heel the WWE has had for god knows how long (even Mark Henry eventually fell into that pattern once Big Show returned). There was nothing going on to set it apart from anything else.

C) It was a complete joke how it even started. Am I really the only person who remembers prior to winning the title how Christian cut a backstage promo about how throughout his career, even when his friends like Edge were winning world titles and he'd join in the celebration, he refused to actually touch the belt because he felt he hadn't earned it yet? How after losing the title, he didn't immediately snap but instead accepted that a champion has to accept the possibility of defeat and it means he just had to earn it back, which he felt he was capable of? There we had an interesting character, the pro wrestling champion who DOESN'T just immediately transform everything about himself in response to something going wrong. But nope, at some point we needed to have his entire personality do a 180 overnight, now he's always been desperate to hold the belt without earning it even though absolutely everything about him beforehand said he was the one guy who would not accept a title he didn't deserve because it was proving he was good enough to be on the top that mattered to him, not just being champion.


B & C kind of run together in a sense. How it started was so crucial and for all the backlash against it at the time, it completely worked out in the end. Yes, Christian ended up doing the same actions as any other slimy loopholing heel, but it was how he GOT to that point that captivated me.

All that stuff about Christian not touching the belt and knowing that one day he would earn it is the twist. Most heels just wake up one day and decide to cheat because it's easier. What set Christian apart was that he cheats because he has to. Since he was told all his life that he would never hold a World Title in WWE, the knowledge deep down that they were wrong, that he was capable of being (and beating) the best in the world when it counted, drove him to fight honorably and wait for his chance.

Then, in an incredible stroke of "right place, right time," he found himself in a situation where he was facing someone for the title that he knew he could defeat, in what was essentially his pet match. No realistic circumstance could have benefited Christian more than a ladder match against a newer wrestler without Championship or Ladder Match experience. And thus, things broke in his favor, and he walked out with his life's goal.

Then 5 days later it all came crashing down, because being the Champion means defending the title against others with the claim of being better. And in kayfabe, Randy Orton is better than Christian. Always has been, always will be.

So then, like you said, he assumed that he was just put in a bad spot that night and still fought honorably in his rematch, knowing that with time to prepare, he could take Orton.

He was wrong. Under equally fair ideal circumstances for both men, Randy Orton was still the better man.

So now what? What does a man do when his entire belief system comes crashing down? What happens to someone who finally realizes that he ISN'T Championship material? Some men, stronger men, go back to the drawing board to refine and re-invent their training, their scouting, and their arsenal. Christian has never been a strong man.

A) It was never in doubt - they established that absolutely nothing Christian did would ever be enough to win, and Orton merely had to hit one RKO (which he can do at any point, no matter how much abuse he's taken) and he'd win. The matches were great, but it basically set it up so that if Christian actually won with anything short of having three other guys join in to help him, it would feel like a plot hole.


I personally have no inherent problem with stories that are 100% predictable (which you're right, this totally was). Some people do, and if you do this is a completely legit criticism, but then I would caution that you're probably following the wrong business. <_<

Christian didn't come off as competitive and he only managed to outwit Orton once.


I disagree. I felt that Christian came across as very competitive, just not on Orton's level. You genuinely felt like Christian probably was the second-best in the World (of SmackDown at least).

It was basically... Christian's beaten by Orton->Christian starts to get desperate->manages to win by cheap tactics once->Orton wins on the rematch and beats Christian in every rematch.


You forgot the very first part of the story which is the crux of the whole thing: "Christian wins World Championship." The rest of the story dealt with what that meant, and especially when taken side-by-side with Cena/Punk, offered a very interesting subtext on what a Championship truly means.

I know your interpretation of the feud was that the feud was never about Orton and was all about Christian developing as a character, but I don't really feel like he developed in the end....Did Christian learn anything?


No, he didn't. And that's exactly what MAKES him pathetic.

What was the great payoff, exactly, aside from a good match?


Correction: a great match, best No-DQ style match of 2011. A match that mirrored their first match in that it was Christian desperately fighting to cling to his title against superior competition, but also showed Christian's (d)evolution as a character when compared to that match by highlighting the depths he would sink to remain in legal (but never rightful) possession of that Big Gold Belt. And the ending was pro wrestling symmetry at its finest.

I really don't think it won by default. Cena vs. Punk captivated far more people. Richards vs. Edwards had arguably better matches and told a story just as well. There were other contenders, but Orton vs. Christian in my mind was the deserved winner.

For the record Orton's feud with Christian winning the Feud of the Year was probably by default as much as anything.


A fair chunk of the general 2011 awards from various places gave it to Cena vs. Punk, actually.

But what about Orton vs. Christian wasn't good, in your opinion? I feel like they had 5 of the top 20 WWE matches of 2011 just 1-on-1 in that feud alone, and it followed a coherent and unusually fresh narrative, with a deeply fulfilling payoff (which is THE number one complaint about WWE booking generally, and rightfully so).

Also TNA has been stepping up so it's not all WWE flopping when I say TNA has been the best show for weeks now.


TNA is better than WWE right now, sure, but Raw two weeks ago was the best TV episode of any show all year IMO. TNA is not on some massive "Show of the Week" streak to me at least. Their PPVs are better than Impact, which is a total reversal of typical TNA.

To me they're still running on cred from TLC and the following Raw enough that I can't criticize them too much, but that cred is fast running dry. One turd of a PPV this Sunday and then the product's overall Jakyl rating goes from "approve" to "disapprove." Still "approve" by a thread though for now!

That said, I know it's the Road to Wrestlemania, and in recent history that means the product is at its poopiest, and it always rebounds going into the summer, to some degree.

he actually has a point with bombable walls - if they're clearly marked they might as well just be normal doors. the game is just wasting your time by making you place a bomb.

now obviously invisible bombable walls shouldn't be in completely random places, but if they were hinted at but unmarked there'd be more of a point to them


I like how in one of the games (is it LoZ or ALttP? I think it's ALttP) striking a bombable wall with your sword produces a different sound than striking a regular wall. THAT'S the sort of hint (at least as the game progresses, early on of course you want to make things easier to establish the rules of the universe) I like, a crapload more than the obvious cracks being the ONLY places worth bombing.

I love almost all the Zelda games for different reasons, and while I see where he's coming from (and there are certainly SOME valid points there), I really think he just doesn't appreciate certain areas of evolution in game design.

It does kind of sadden me that so many people "can't go back" to Zelda 1 and love it though. I would hate to see a modern gamer try to appreciate Zork. It would depress me.

No, Charles's actual style of analysis is more like Jesse Ventura, i.e. looking at things from a completely reasonable angle but coming to conclusions you might not always want to hear.

I just compared him to Heenan in the sense that as a player he was hated, just like how Heenan was despised as a manager (and likely as a wrestler too but that was before my time), and then he moved into an analyst role and didn't change much about his personality but somehow became adored by fans in doing so.

First the easy title change: Ivory once again won the Women's Championship in a four-way on SmackDown, bringing championship gold to the Right to Censor!

Now for the Tag Team Titles:
As you may have figured out, Los Conquistadores were in fact Edge and Christian in disguise (*gasp!*). Their scheme was to "win the titles" from the Hardys as Los Conquistadores, then have two hired schmucks come out in the costumes the next night and "defend the titles" against them and deliberately lose.

(Christopher Daniels was one of the "fake" Conquistadores, on a side note. Man that guy loves his costumes!)

So the next night on Raw, in the "title defense" by Los Conquistadores, they actually fought for real and defended the titles! Edge was stunned!

As it turns out, the Hardys had beaten up the fake Conquistadores in the locker room and stolen the costumes and fought in their place to "defend the titles."

Commissioner Foley officially clarified that, in the record books, the match at No Mercy would go down as a Championship win for Edge & Christian, so then the match on Raw would officially be recorded as Edge & Christian defending the titles, not challenging for them, and thus they just had the titles for a day without even knowing it and then just lost them back...to the Hardyz.

Despite the official winner of both matches being Los Conquistadores. <_<

Then on a later Raw, all this would be moot as the Hardyz lost the titles to Bull Buchanan and The Goodfather, bringing even MORE gold to the RTC!

Heck, even aside from that many degrees of separation, Ryder was a reasonable direct opponent to Cena when they fought in November. He came across better in his loss to Cena than Miz did, at least!

And I'm saying that the only reason it was used in Kill Bill is because it was iconic.

EVERYTHING in the Kill Bill movies is a throwback/homage to some other style of cinema or iconic imagery in film. That's kind of the point. <_<

(Although to be honest I think Bully Ray just flat out stole his spot on the roster by being a [much] better version of Anderson's archetype)

I have no idea where Anderson has been.

I've noticed that they've been a bit stricter on language lately (censoring some "ass"es even) so maybe Anderson used up their swearing quota for the year and like SmartMuffin said, he's really got nothing else on the depth chart behind that.

Seriously what's up with RVD and TNA the guy hasn't been on for like a month. And he hasn't been relevant for like 6

Is it still the whole "your contract only says you'll work this many matches so we can't use you much" thing?


IIRC his contract is up next month and he's saying he wants to go back to WWE (although that could just be a negotiation ploy) so they had him put over Gunner at Genesis and then just wrote him out thanks to Gunner's concrete DDT.

If he re-signs they bring him back, if he doesn't they don't and they have an excuse.
