Can we all just take a second to remember how great Christian Cage was? I loved pretty much everything he did in TNA and during that time, he was easily one of the absolute favorite wrestlers. This is also the best video package I've ever seen TNA produce.

Christian's TNA run is what completely changed my opinion on him. Prior to the beginning of his run there, I didn't see what everyone else did in him and questioned why there was a demand for him to be pushed into the main event scene. Fantastic stuff all around from him. And he had, in my opinion, the GOAT TNA theme. Especially with the build up intro that let you know "That Mother  er" was entering the ring. |

TNA's greatest period. He truly looked like a million bucks, where as he never quite sat right in WWE.

I loved this time frame of TNA, and Christian really fit in nicely in the TNA roster. I never got the feeling Christian was there to make a quick buck, or take a vacation from WWE before heading back, Christian was there to get over, to get TNA over, and to get the TNA roster over.
His 2nd NWA Title reign was way better than his first. He beat Jarrett than worked with Monty Brown and Abyss, where his 2nd reign he beat Abyss and Sting and worked with Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe.
I always thought he should have had one more title reign to be TNA World Champion as well. They kind of pushed him in that direction in late 2008 but then he opted to leave TNA and go back to the WWE. Where thankfully he was put in ECW where he got to shine still, since he was the ECW Champion most of the time for like a year or so.

I wished he didn't leave TNA, because to me Christian showed his true potential and was treated like a main event star. Don't know why he hated the company when WWE doesn't even like Christian.

A company finally showed how to use Christian right! Christian Cage remains one of my top 5 favorite wrestlers of all-time. It was the best time period for TNA, the roster was great and they had a great World Title holder in Cage. Next to the video of Angle coming, Cage winning the belt remains the best TNA moment for me.

Use to not really care for him.
TNA and their booking of him MADE me care about the guy and I grew to love his work. He really shined in TNA and was the second person to dethrone Jarrett. Which shows you how much TNA thought of him.
Edit: He was like the 3rd to dethrone Jarrett after Rhino. But I guess I was saying they would not just let anyone go over him for the title.

He made me a fan in TNA, which like said already, is a credit to TNA's booking. Pity it came at the expense of Monty Brown's push which caused him to leave the company.
In WWE, I like his character change in 2003 but only from hindsight, since I thought he was a cocky little git. But in TNA he really proved he was main event material, which he could easily have been in Smackdown 2005.
I wish I knew why he really didn't want to appear at Slammiversary 2012 though. He tried to veto it and looked really uncomfortable there.

For me, Christian made me tune in to watch TNA. He became one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid. It was a great time to be a wrestling fan. Christian, Angle, Styles, Joe, and Daniels under the same roof had me glued to the screen at all times. Don't forget Don West, of course. Christian's TNA theme is for sure one of the best themes of all time without a doubt.

Complete contrast to his weak WWE runs of recent years. So much hype when he moved to TNA

I never understood the hype with Christian, he falls into the same category as Ryder for me. Never really done anything entertaining IMO yet somehow over with fans,
