>the most over wrestler on the roster

He was also a heel at this time and was mostly getting cheered over Cena when he was arguably at the peak of his popularity (before fans turned on him)

Because they’re retarded. Christian fucking sucks. Like sure he’s much better than edge, but that ain’t shit he still objectively sucks just edge sucks more. Only MAYBE now can Christian even be remotely considered for a title spot because the quality of wrestling overall has nosedived, but back in 05 he’s a low/midcarder all day and that’s the truth with cheese on it

You're wrong on all accounts.
Edge is one of the all-time greats. Christian isn't anywhere near his level, but he is still a very good wrestler, just not a generational talent like Edge.

No he's not. He's on the level of Jericho, Benoit, Eddie, but below the likes of Austin, Hogan, Rock, Cena, Edge, Taker.

Not him but WWE 2005 had Benoit, Rey, Eddie (RIP), Christian, Shelton, Edge, JBL, Angle, Cena and Booker. TNA had Styles, Sabin, Joe, Daniels and Storm. ROH also had Joe, Strong, Aries, Homicide, Rave, Gibson, Cabana, Lethal and Nigel. Mid South had Abercrombie, Jacobs and Sydal. So as a 12 year old at the time I was pretty happy with the state of affairs

Yeah, Rey and Eddie had a great feud. And the U.S. business was healthy outside of WWE.

Delusional. Plenty of wrestlers with better looks never make it. Chris Masters and Ryback to name a couple. It's about being able to connect with the audience.

He could maybe be a champ today because the product is trash all around, but back in 05 he’d be lucky to be a D-team champ on the 3rd brand like WWECW

Can you call someone that if they are outside the top 25? He's not even top 5 in his main event era

I watched WWE together with my sister in early 00s and whenever Christian appeared and he was called a superstar like they call everyone she'd ask me how can they call a rat like him a superstar. She didnt mind anyone else being called that

I’m most likely older than you (I’m 30) And I can easily make a case that Edge is top 10 All Time in WWE, All Time counting every promotion in the World is irrelevant to me because I only watch WWF/WWE.

Memorable matches
Memorable feuds
Memorable segments
Iconic entrance/theme
TagTeam Success
Midcard Success
Main Event Success
Career Accolades
Made MiTB an Iconic staple instead of a one-time gimmick

Edge checks all those boxes better than most. To pretend that the #1 Heel in the 2005-2008 Era isn’t a legend is a blatant lie.

Everything these smarks say about fake wrestling is fucking stupid as shitz literally everything, all these low lives do all the time is straight up lie about the obvious, no christian rightfully was never WWE champ, he should have never been world heavyweight champ either, these clowns think people are gonna take a product seriously when u have a guy like Christian as champ when guys like big show, kane, are on the roster, that's exactly what killed the business, the only time it would be acceptable for a smaller guy to win a world title is if everybody is out with injury or gonna from the company where they're a last resort and even then the guy has to be over as fuck and as presentable as possible as were the cases with Guerrero, and Benoit, a guy like Christian was not good enough to be world champ and he wasn't good enough to be a last resort world champ either, he just didn't have it it is what it is and I like Christian. These smarks are fucking idiots, what all these smaller guys should have been doing the entire time is trying to lift the mid card into the same realm as the main even scene... but NOOOOOOOO...
