Christian was one of the leanest men to be part of the heavyweight scene. At 6 foot 1, he weighed 212 pounds and enjoyed a lot of success with many different wrestling promotions.

In his first official bout in 1998 as a member of The Brood, the Toronto native set the bar rather high for himself by winning the Light Heavyweight Championship from Taka Michinoku. And he raised it every year since.

He was one superstar who was as potent on his feet, as he was in the air. The light heavyweight wrestler won his first World Heavyweight Championship late in his career in 2011.

He faced Alberto Del Rio for the title at Extreme Rules 2011. The two had quite a remarkable match which saw Christian take the title for his first title reign.

He won the title once again at Money in the Bank of the same year by defeating Randy Orton by disqualification, making him a two-time World Heavyweight Champion.
