10 Wrestling Answers Given YEARS Later
10. Why Todd Grisham Said "It's Christian" Like That
Unquestionably one of the most deflating returns in wrestling history, Christian's WWE comeback in 2009 was utterly surreal.
The TLC icon left the company four years earlier, heading off to TNA. He'd enjoy one of the most impressive and acclaimed spells of his career over there, but eventually decided it was time to come back to the world of sports entertainment.
Rather than the commentators losing their damn minds at the sight of the comeback Captain, though - you know, like they typically do in their quest to create a Moment - Todd Grisham delivered one of the most pathetic reactions of all time.
His bland, half-arsed, "It's Christian," upon seeing the star suddenly appear on the ECW show instantly undermined what should have been one of Christian's greatest-ever arrivals.
For years, fans wondered why on earth Grisham decided to react like Christian had never really left, and in October 2024 they were finally given an answer. Unsurprisingly, it was a choice from the mind of Cage's biggest hater: Vince McMahon.
In case you weren't aware, it's been well-documented (via Inside the Ropes) that McMahon never really adored this half of the Edge & Christian duo. And Grisham would eventually reveal on X that he was told by Vince right before he walked out to the announce desk that night not to get excited by the return and simply say "It's Christian."
So, that's what he did, and an infamous return was born.
