Pure hand-slappin' free-autograph-signin' babyface. 

1. All-around athleticism - Just because Christian has been out of the spotlight doesn't mean he's let himself go. While Light is still a massive powerhouse, he's shed a few pounds in order to add some speed and lateral quickness to his game. Combine that with an unparalleled enduraance that has been well documented over the years and we have as close to a perfect athletic specimen as one can get in a lifetime.

2. Experience - Light wrestled for many major wrestling organizations from age 18 to age 31. He's seen it all and done it all, and there's little left that would surprise him.

3. "Enter Sandman" - With a deadly combination of power and technique, Christian Light has been an effective match closer all his career. Even after 15 years, you can still count the number of kickouts out of Realizing The Dream on one hand. And no one has ever gotten up from The Sledgehammer. Above and beyond those two, Light's trademark moves are all devastating enough to end matches for unprepared and/or unaware opponents. Some have even succumbed to Light's brutal spear on occasion. 

1. Ring rust - Yes, Christian has continued working out since his last appearance nearly 3 years ago and yes he's worked the occasional indy show to keep his skills from atrophy. But breaking in a rookie in his 5th match is nothing like fighting in the big time.

2. Speed/quickness - While Christian is no longer a statue in the ring, he's still a massive man at 6'7" and 271 lbs. He will never gain the kind of speed or quickness that smaller wrestlers possess, and some of them can take advantage by staying out of his clutches.

3. Family - Christians history with his first fiancee Sara is well-documented in the lore of the NWA. In response to that he is extremely protective of his current family. But he's also proud to be a father, to the point that he named two of his trademark moves after his children. While Christian can usually maintain a calm demeanor in an interview/promo setting, in the ring Christian can be sent into a rage if the opponent says something particularly heinous about his family.
