WWE: Money in the Bank Spotlight – Christian

In a week’s time, we will head on to the next WWE PPV, the Money in the Bank. MitB has been one of the most exciting PPVs in recent years, not only involving some of the best matches and storylines (Who can forget CM Punk’s ‘Summer of Punk’?), but also the Money in the Bank matches itself, which was created as an attraction match for WrestleMania, but since has taken a life of its own, being made into a Pay Per View. This year will be no different, as superstars ranging from Daniel Bryan to CM Punk will participate in the MitB match. But there is one superstar who is arguably the greatest performer in ladder matches. He is not new to the ‘big match’ situations, and has been an innovator when it comes to the ladder matches. He has been a part of some of the greatest ladder matches of all time, and one of the greatest tag teams in pro wrestling history! He is none other than ‘Captain Charisma’, Christian!

 

Often times, Christian is credited as the most under rated superstar in the history of the WWE, and it isn’t untrue. Christian has been in the business for nearly two decades, starting alongside his best friend Adam Copeland, aka Edge. The two soon teamed up together in the WWE and have had a great stint in the tag team division, and later went their separate ways to make their own careers. While Edge went on to achieve great success as a 11 time World champion, Christian, inspite of being the best heel in the WWE till ’05, was going nowhere, and he took this as a sign to try new things, and went to TNA where he was the franchise player till the end of his term. Christian returned to the WWE, and immediately achieved success by becoming the ECW World champion, and later went on to win the World Heavyweight championship after Edge retired. Ironically, Christian won his first World Heavyweight championship during a ladder match!
