WWE screws up again

I can only give a sigh of relief that the wrestler known as Christian has come to his senses. In case you haven’t heard, the wrestler known as Christian, real name William Reso, was reported that he in fact QUIT the WWE. Usually, Johnny Ace, err, I mean, the WWE “fires” their employees, but Reso pretty much fired the WWE. Apparently, the WWE isn’t worth Reso’s time and effort.
Quite frankly, I don’t blame Reso for quitting. The wrestler known as Christian had charisma, talent, skills, and the workmanship to back it up. Steve Austin once described Christian as a hard worker who came early, rehearsed, and made sure everyone was safe while putting on a good match.
Christian was a great wrestler, and any wrestling fan will tell you that he is in fact an uncrowned WWE champion. The fans, despite that Christian was a heel, loved him, and wanted him to be THE top guy in the WWE. The push seemed to be in favor of Christian, but the ultimate “genius” of the WWE, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, decided to stop the push of Christian and ship him to the dry, mediocre, and quite frankly, horrible show that is WWE’s Smackdown. Way to screw that up, Vince!
It was obvious that Christian was “urinated” off, and rightfully so. The fans on the internet wanted Christian to be champion, not some moron on steroids [Batista]. The fans on Smackdown wanted Christian champion, but alas, Christian was lucky to face the washed up Booker T. Did Vince McMahon live up to his promise and “give the fans what they want?” Heck no!
If I was TNA, I would sign this guy immediately. I’m not sure if he has a 90 day clause in his contract, but if I was Christian, I would go to TNA.
WWE? That was mistake number 1. You let a fan favorite quit. Shame, shame.
