Which is sad because Christian is pretty damn good when he has the spotlight. CM Punk is a better face than he is a heel though.

Maybe, Christian wins the money in the bank match, and then screws over Edge to win his first World Heavyweight title. That would shake things up on Smackdown. (WWE is one of my guilty pleasures

I would tend to disagree, though his particular gimmick puts the current TV-PG WWE in a bit of a tight spot insofar as using him as a heel is concerned. They can't market the straight edge guy as a heel to the kids in the audience because that risks sending the message that staying drug- and alcohol-free is a bad thing. They were able to make it work in his feud against Jeff Hardy because it was less about Punk being a pompous dick about his lifestyle choices and more about Punk being a dick about Jeff's past mistakes and asserting that Jeff was incapable of overcoming his problems and bettering himself.

It worked great until Jeff proved in his personal life that he really couldn't overcome his problems and better himself.

They really missed a golden opportunity last night, as Stone Cold was hosting Raw, and having Punk come down and interrupt Austin's beer-swilling opening promo with his "straight edge and better than you" shtick would have been fantastic.

Yes, but now Jeff is in TNA. I always wanted to see him in the X-Division

HBK vs. The Undertaker, part two will be awsome! THe streak may just end this time.

Jagos · 03-20-2010, 07:34 PM

Pfft. I'm expecting at LEAST two more years on the streak. What is it? 18-0?

Plus whoever ends the streak will be someone who would be receiving a push from it, which HBK neither needs nor wants. It's the same reason Kane's apparently refused to do it on the multiple occasions that the opportunity has been offered to him.

Which is actually kind of a bummer because Kane ending the streak would honestly make the most sense.
