LWOLeN Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I am getting appalled watching Christian wrestle lately. The guy looks like he is ill. Â What is going on?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's always been his drawback, looks as phsyically intimidating as a librarian or someone who works on customer services. You might aswell put Stephen Merchant in the ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraserbee Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I mentioned this in the Random Thoughts thread a week or so back, but at is size and with those tiny shoulders, the spear is a totally inappropriate move for him to be doing. Â I think what is worse than Christian being skinny is the fact that his wrestling style does not really seem to acknowledge it. People like 123 Kid, Rey Mysterio and Spike Dudley could be quite credible because they wrestled in a way that sold their size as a disadvantage but they used their speed, guts and determination to get by. Christian wrestles like a guy much bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 We need photographic proof. Is he really smaller than in his TNA or old WWE days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet he looks worse now than he did when the roster was generally a lot bigger. He just looks older and frailer than he should, it is like he's ill. Regal calling him Benjamin Button a few years ago cracked me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJLogan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He also has the worst tan ever. He looks pukey yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSF Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He's probably in better shape now, than he was back in his 2001 Intercontinental Title period, but I think the hair helped him out. Â 2001 Â TNA Â 2012 Â The crap T-shirt he now wears makes him look a lot worse though in my opinion. I'm still a big fan of his though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted July 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2013 The skinny neck and poo-face makes it oh-so-worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moofasa Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He looks like a wrestler in 2001 and is noticeably bigger. For me it's also his style of baby face fire seems so lame the slow clap in the ring which was ridiculed by Sandow recently is awful. He just needs a few "shall Is" and start his own "we want more chant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraserbee Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Judging by those pictures, Christian was never massive but he's definately lost a lot of muscle around his neck and shoulders. I guess it is probably a combination of how he's training, injuries, age and wellness that has caused it. Â That said, I think he looks like a very healthy 40 year old man, he just doesn't look much like what you expect of a wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why's he so yellow, though? And why does he have the worst t-shirt in recent memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2013 Apparently, Christian doesn't take any supplements anymore (Creatine, Protein shakes, BCAA's etc) and just goes natural and uses food sources as blocks for protein etc. Couple that with his back, neck and shoulder problems and I actually think he's in relatively fine shape. Â Although in saying that, CM Punk doesn't take any supplements, is only a couple years younger and is in good nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take any supplements either and follow a modest gym regimen, but have a much larger upper body than Christian. He's just not got that type of natural body shape.
