sek69 Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Apparently you can't get "Captain Charisma" shirts at WWE live events or from ShopZone, and he's pretty disgruntled that a projected main event push got scuttled. Since he's been on SmackDown, he's been squished by Batista twice and punked by the Mexicools last night. I wonder whose Wheaties he peed in.
Mad Dog Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 It's because he's not a hoss and got over. Notice his burial started basically the week after he was getting insane heat on Raw.
Guest TheAnvil Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 You know HHH and Steph were probably on vacation, and they turned on the TV and found out that Christian had gotten over. Steph started his burial instantly. I like how Edge doesn't seem to really get over, yet he's still in high profile feuds. Christian is insanely over, and used to put people like Rey over on SD! and doesn't even get matches at PPVs. I guess maybe I'm just bitter because my 2 favorite wrestlers are Val Venis and Christian.
MyOwnSummer Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I went to a WWE houseshow in late May and they didn't have his Captain Charisma shirts their either despite their being a big demand for them (it's Canada after all.). I recall reading house show reports saying that they weren't available at some other shows too.
goodhelmet Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I'll look through this week's Observer and see if Christian is mentioned.
Coffey Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I'm assuming there's a reason for the shirt pull. It doesn't make any sense otherwise. I can't even get behind anyone in WWE anymore. The last person that I liked was Hassan and WWE took the character too far. He wasn't the best wrestler, but he was entertaining. He was a throwback to gimmicks of the past that I enjoyed a lot, so maybe that's where most of the love came from. That and he was a great talker. I liked Conway when he first debuted. I saw him on Heat and saw a lot of potential. Then they stuck him in La R?sistance and I no longer cared. Now, with his single's push, I like his music.... It's like, I'd be better off watching someone like Colt Cobana in Ring of Honor or Abyss in Total Nonstop Action. So, that's what I watch.

He's pretty well feuded with Kane this year. Better off than Christian, but not exactly at HHH's level or anything.
Resident Evil Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 I thought there was some kind of dispute over a trademark with a comic company.
