00:00 When discussing legendary tag teams,
00:02 that conversation includes Edge and Christian.
00:05 However, as singles competitors,
00:06 they had contrasting fortunes.
00:08 And we may have the reason why.
00:11 Jim Ross believes that look and size
00:13 were behind WWE's decision to never push Christian Cage
00:16 as a top guy during the veteran's time with the promotion.
00:19 The legendary announcer said as much
00:21 during the latest episode of his grilling JR podcast.
00:25 Ross stated that the aforementioned factors
00:27 didn't do Christian any favors,
00:28 adding that in Vince McMahon's eyes,
00:30 Christian lacked the wow factor
00:32 possessed by his real life best friend, Adam Edge Copeland,
00:35 whom WWE pushed heavily.
00:36 Cage 50 stands three inches shorter than Copeland at 6'1".
00:39 Though he was WWE World Heavyweight Champion twice,
00:43 the promotion never presented him
00:45 as the actual top performer in the company.
00:48 Copeland meanwhile enjoyed 11 world title reigns
00:52 in Stanford.
00:53 Jim Ross reveals why WWE never pushed Christian Cage
00:56 as that top guy.
