If you are a fan of WWE Superstar Christian and haven’t had a chance to check out the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 video game, I highly recommend you either purchase or rent it.  The game has their traditional “Road To Wrestlemania” gameplay where you take control of one of their wrestlers as they head into the WWE’s biggest annual event that is perpetually sold out and has huge buy rates for its PPV.  Fortunately in the latest release of the game, Christian has his own storyline.

You start out taking control of Christian as he dominates the ECW as the heavyweight champion.  ECW general manager Tiffany ends up trading him to Smackdown and during his final PPV title defense, Dolph Ziggler interferes and causes him to lose the belt.  Once he heads over to Smackdown he gets his revenge and wrestles various matches to move up the rankings and into title contention.

Along the way you’re going to reunite with your childhood friend and former tag team partner Edge and while there is some tension as these two tag up and take on all comers, many of their old antics resurface.  For instance the guys have a kazoo rap session in the locker room, wear crazy hats to the ring on “Crazy Hat Friday” and even do a 5 second pose on national television for Christian’s grandma, who always liked Edge better.  Watching these two characters interact definitely bring back a flood of great memories and I sincerely hope they give these two guys another run before the hang up their boots.

If you win the Money in the Bank, you end up with a tough choice.  Do you cash it in and wrestle your long time friend for the Heavyweight title or do you instead select to face the RAW champion for the WWE Title?  Either way you’ll have tons of fun controlling this amazing wrestler as he makes the tough decisions.
