* [[https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1awumav/aew_dynamite_spoilers_christian_cage_gets_personal/ Christian's promo against Daniel Garcia]] on the February 21, 2024 episode of ''AEW Dynamite''. It's the usual "dead father" banter, but it gets ''very'' personal, quick:
-->'''Christian:''' You didn't have so many happy memories, did you? Hey, I have a question for you: Do you know a Jackie Garcia that lives at 2 Baker Court in Buffalo, New York?[[note]]Bonus points: the specified address doesn't lead to Jackie's actual address, but to a ''cemetery''.[[/note]] And can you confirm to me that Jackie was married to David Garcia? And I understand that David Garcia is your father.... ''(long pause)'' [[WhamLine ....and your father is]] ''[[WhamLine dead]]''.

** Same press conference also featured Christian rebuffing a question from The Wrestling Observer's Bryan Alvarez about seeing Nick Wayne wrestle by asking Bryan he ever wrestled, then responding to an affirmative answer by saying "I'm sure you sucked." Aside from correctly referencing Alvarez's short and uneventful in-ring career, it also stands in complete contrast to Adam Copeland, who'd debuted in the post-match segment to Christian's main event TNT Championship defense against Darby Allin that evening, excitedly talking about all the future plans and possibilities for his tenure in AEW as well as candid behind-the-scenes details of how he got there.

* At AEW {{WrestleDream}}, Christian was seen watching the opening ceremony where Tony Khan greeted and gave flowers to the grandchildren on Wrestling/AntonioInoki, who had died nearly a year before to the day. In the post-event media scrum, Tony Khan asked why he was watching. Christian's response? [[AscendedMeme They lost their grandfather...]] in reference to his frequent reminders to other wrestlers that their own fathers were deceased.

* His and Wrestling/{{Edge}}'s inclination to make up BuffySpeak-esque words at random like "stinktitude" and "awesomeness."
* His five-second poses with Wrestling/{{Edge}} (and later, Wrestling/KurtAngle) in 2000.

* During the first ''[=SmackDown=]'' of 2015 hosted by him and Wrestling/{{Edge}}, he brought back some E&C lingo and called [[Wrestling/TheAuthority J&J Security]] "dorkchops".

* At ''[[Wrestling/WWEFastlane Fastlane 2016]]'', during the Cutting Edge Peep Show, he and Wrestling/{{Edge}} are confronted by the League of Nations and declare that the ring is theirs, with Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} telling them to leave the ring. But E&C are not done yet.

* During the time he was allied with Wrestling/ChrisJericho, Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys managed to steal their clothes, luggage, and Jeric--''[[LastSecondWordSwap Christian]]'s'' jar of Ass Cream ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXQY9H86UyI which had a hilariously giant label saying, yes, "ASS CREAM".]])

-->'''Bubba Ray:''' What the ''HELL'' are you guys doing with ''Ass Cream''? What do you ''DO'' with Ass Cream ''[[HoYay might I ask]]?''

* At the 2016 Fastlane PPV, during the Cutting Edge Peep Show, he and Wrestling/{{Edge}} are confronted by the League of Nations and declare that the ring is theirs, with Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} telling them to leave the ring. But E&C are not done yet.

** For bonus points, he delivered his last line to the rhythm of The New Day's own "New Day rocks!"

--> '''Tomko:''' [[FlatNo No.]]

* Towards the end of his WWE run, his character evolved into a SmallNameBigEgo who constantly talked his way into ridiculous situations, whilst his "Problem Solver" Tomko began playing the straight man to [=Christian=]'s wackiness. It. Was. Glorious.

Christian delivered this line in a similar vein to The New Day's own "New Day rocks!"

** That same night, he and Edge [[http://peepulation.tumblr.com/post/106986040088/10-10-christian4peeps-edgeratedr-host vandalize the "Muscle and Fitness" cover featuring Triple H and Stephanie]].

** One of his early solo programs was with Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage, who was his motivational coach. The tantrums got worse. And it gave us an absolutely hysterical UnSmile in the process.

* Christian's return in 2009, while also being an awesome moment for those wanting to see it, was ''HI''-larious as he destroyed a very green JackSwagger, verbally demolishing him with two little words; ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Z3Rt6851w Thuffering Thuccotash]]''
