Reso made his debut in 1995. He wrestled in Canadian

Also, Christian and Jericho began romances with Lita and Stratus, respectively; and as part of the angle it was revealed to be a bet over who could sleep with their respective female first, with a

handicap match which they lost.[71] During a steel cage match against Jericho on the May 10 episode of Raw which he lost, Christian suffered a severe back injury, causing him to miss almost four months of in-ring action.[9][72] Christian returned on the August 30 episode of Raw, attacking Jericho and thus resuming their feud.[73] The two had a ladder match for the vacant Intercontinental Championship at Unforgiven, which Christian lost, ending their feud.[74]

Professional wrestling style and persona

Christian setting up his finisher on The Miz in 2012

Like many prominent wrestlers with lengthy careers, Christian's character has evolved considerably over the years. When he debuted on the national stage, he was a scowling goth figure who never spoke. Ironically, he later became known for both his interview skills and, when a babyface, his humorous, fun-loving, surfer-type persona. As a villain, Christian is typically self-absorbed, vindictive and occasionally sadistic while still retaining quick wit.

Christian began to build up a loyal fanbase around the spring of 2005, despite his placement as a villain; he referred to them as his "Peeps",[296] "Peepulation" (a play on the word "population"),[297] or the "Christian Coalition".[298] He also hosted a talk show segment called The Peep Show which sometimes gets co-hosted by Edge called The Cutting Edge Peep Show.

As a finisher, Christian uses an

frog splash in memory of Eddie Guerrero.[5]
