When Christian jumped over to TNA in 2005, there was a feeling that something was truly happening in the world of professional wrestling. Sure, it wasn't a genuine game-changer, but Christian was a top performer who had clearly been underused in WWE and left to fulfil his potential elsewhere. He joined an insanely talented roster, one that was accentuated not long after by the arrival of Kurt Angle.

So all of that came to nothing, but Christian did win the top title in TNA on two occasions. Christian was also the final holder of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship under the TNA banner, and came just short of becoming the first TNA World Heavyweight Champion in a match against Angle and Sting.

Both of Christian's title runs lasted around four months, and whether he was a face or a heel he was positioned as a top guy. His TNA run can be looked back on as a success, albeit one that didn't mean anything in the longterm for the company.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
