The front page of WWE.com has a photo of Christian, with a headline announcing that Christian has quit the WWE!

... To quote Darth Vader...

[b]NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!~~!!!![b]

That really sucks.............I wonder what the deal is?

I'm still curious to see if this turns out to be a worked shoot or not. I could see it turning out that way just because when a talented performer quits WWE, it usually reflects poorly on WWE. However, there had been reports that Christian has been unhappy ever since he was drafted to Smackdown, so this could be interesting...

Christian worked the Smackdown taping (kinda early, eh?), so who knows how true that is.

He probably wants to be a football player like Brock Lesnar.

Christian is canadian... he wants to be a hockey player.

At least they didn't Wendi Richter him. Remember when she refused to sign a new contract on the spot?

I still wouldn't doubt if this was some sort of work.

But it'll be fun seeing him in TNA. Maybe Jericho will follow...

I wouldn't mind seeing a lot of their more established superstars jump ship. They'd get some fresh talent and actually have to work on decent gimmicks.

I'd be all for Christian in TNA....

Yes........ the WWF lets another potential draw leave the door.

And soon to be NWA champ. Man, this sucks. I hope it's a swerve.

I'll have something on the blog later, but I'm pretty gutted at the moment

DAVE..............keepin the world informed.

WWF astounds me sometimes. The fact that they said sign this or else to him just shows how clueless they are.

There's a competitor that's creeping towards a 1.0 rating and is close to becoming financially stable. They should not be playing these kinds of games right now.

Do you think he'll be able to use the name "Christian" in TNA? It sounds like the kind of name you can't copyright, since it's also a religious word, and is thus public domain I would think.

"Muslim"

Christian is no big loss for WWE. They were barely using him. I honestly don't see how he could ever be more than a lower mid-card comedy act.

Probably not. They didn't own the copyright to Justin Credible or the Dudleys but they strong armed those guys anyone. One of his nicknames like Captain Charisma could be viable though.

The guy was monster over during the first half of this year. Crowds were going apeshit for the guy before they completely jobbed him out and tossed him to Smackdown.

I doubt it. WWE would probably claim"Intelectual property" on all things associated with his character.

EDIT: Woops. That was in relation to the "name" subject.

His real name is Jay Reso. That's servicable with a nickname attached.

He seems pretty creative with nicknames. It should be no problem.

PWInsider says he lives in Florida.

If I were TNA I'd shoot a promo with the guy and splice it into the Primetime Special. Think of it. You could see Christian in TNA on Thursday and then his final WWF match the next night on Smackdown.

AS much as I'm not huge on Christian, that'd be a major coup.

I hadn't stopped to think of that. That would be one of the coolest things to happen all year.

I'm waiting for a Christian shoot interview sometime in the near future.

Christian could be big in Japan... imagine all the Jeeps he has!

Hmm, I wonder if WWEshop.com will offer some good deals on Christian merchandise now.

They should steal another of DAVE's ideas and just call him by his real name, Jason Reso. Reso-lution, bitches.

I thought "The Idol" might be a good nickname for him.

Seeing both WWEand TNA haven't been ontop of their game lately, may be loosing the Dudleys, Rhyno, and Christian (and possibly Jericho) to TNA, along with signing Samoa Joe, Chris Daniels, and AJ Styles to contracts might finally heat-up some competition.

...Given the right storyline.

Where's a new nWo when you need it!

Nowhere.... WWE somehow owns the rights to the nWo name, and will strike down upon thee with anger and furious vengeance on those who try and recreate something similar to.

Jericho and Christian would be great as an Outsiders-esque duo in TNA, you gotta admit. Either one is already better on the mic than everyone on the TNA roster...

Yeah, and Jericho and Christian would actually show up for shows sober and not get injured at every other show.

"Christian" is an absolutely terrible ring name. Right up there with other crappy ring names, like "Triple H" and "Sal Sincere". He should be thankful he's free of it.

How about, "Your Icon" Jason Reso...

EDIT: Jericho owns the rights to his name, though, correct?

I'd go with "Jay" Reso over "Jason." That's just me though.

I agree that Christian was a bad ring-name and it shouldn't break his heart if he cannot use it after tonight.
