Yeah a much better path for the story to have taken there was Orton to keep getting DQed in his return matches... then eventually have a no DQ match for the blowoff where Orton kills him. Christian getting zero defenses makes him look kinda feeble. Like, you want him to not come off as "credible" that's fine. I'm not saying Christian ever needs to beat Orton cleanly in the feud. But he still needs to put the good guy in some sort of distress (a defense or two via DQ would do that) otherwise I don't think the storytelling is very effective.
The only way it works as a story is if the conflict wasn't meant to be the point and it's entirely meant for Christian's character to develop. The ultimate result at this point is for Christian to realize that his style of heelish tactics don't work. Then you've got two paths to take... 1. Christian turns face. This is stupid. Jakyl should be laughed at for suggesting this, considering Christian turned heel during the feud. That just makes the storyline completely pointless. 2. The better path: Christian uses this as a motivation and evolves his heel tactics to the point where they work. Edge showing up to blast Christian could just as well be a gateway to this considering Edge had those most success as a super schemer heel. Unfortunately, this isn't how it's going to go because it would involve Orton losing the feud, at least temporarily, and well, that doesn't happen.
In short, I agree with Panthera on the Orton/Christian feud so far, but it's not past redemption if the story isn't quite over. And I realize that I'm endorsing this terrible feud go on for even longer but it's not like anything else would be all that intriguing at the moment.
