I met Christian at comic con a few years ago. I took my pic with him and went to leave (I didn’t want to bother him) he stopped me and chatted for a bit. Really classy dude who is very generous to the fans.

[@jesselatham7610]

Hope he does great. Another guy that is deserving to have a good run and do what he loves to do before he can’t anymore

[@SamA-fy6ie]

He raised my Instant Classic sign at a TNA house show years ago. One of my all time favorite wrestlers.

[@greatheightsu]

BEYOND EXCITED FOR CHRISTIAN! He is one of the few legends I would be for. He was an immaculate worker in his prime, looks to still be now, and has had plenty of time to train (he's jacked) and heal up. This is far different from Goldberg who can't go beyond two minutes and never could.

[@AngelFlores-bq4fd]

I love AEW and honestly haven't ever been a huge fan of Christian and I've been watching him since the brood but I feel bad for him because I really think that TK messed up with his debut. I understand he was trying to increase the PPV buy rate, which obviously worked, but it came back to bite them and Christian because people hyped it up way too much. It would've been much more effective to have him come out as a surprise and beat up someone.

[@angelacruseo8767]

It’s crazy because he’s in his late 40’s and looks healthy as fuck... in contrast hogan was 49 when you wrestled the rock at wm18
