ChrIstian in TNA

Been wanting to seek out Christian TNA matches.

First was Sting vs Christian vs Angle

Audio sucks later on.

Lots of people seem to hate three way matches. As long as their is a good reason for it I like them. Im wondering where the Sting sucks talking point came from. He has lost a step or two since his prime but he can still go when he feels like it. I thought the German superplex combo was neat and liked the attempted double ankle lock.

I think the finish was hated at the time. I though the simultaneous pin/tap out was cool.

Angle/Christian from 2008


Best part of this was seeing the beta version of the Christian/Swagger series. This was not like a lot of Angle matches. All of the spots were built up. So when Angle hit the belly to belly in the ring it mattered. Then you had Christian getting cut off every time he attempted the frog splash. Til the last attempt when he hit it for a near fall.

Lots of teases of the Angle Slam and the Kill Switch, without actually hitting them til the end resulting in a stale mate.

Christian put Angle in the nastiest looking Texas Cloverleaf I have ever seen. He should be using that as a finisher.

Because its TNA the match had to end with a run in with AJ Styles turning on Christian for whatever reason.

Neither here nor there, but Sting's killswitch was awesome.
