Christian and Tyson Tomko are a
professional wrestling tag team formerly on the
RAW brand of
World Wrestling Entertainment.
The pair began teaming when Christian was engaged in a
feud with
Chris Jericho in
2004.
Tomko debuted by interfering in a match between Jericho and Christian on
Raw, helping Christian by hitting Jericho with a
running boot to the face.
Tomko was later revealed to be the
bodyguard (or "
problem solver") of Christian and his onscreen girlfriend,
Trish Stratus.
After Stratus and Christian separated due to Christian's injury, Tomko remained as Stratus' bodyguard, until Christian's return, where he inexplicably shifted straight back to Christian.
Tomko eventually became a straight man to Christian's over the top character with delusions of grandeur.
Christian would constantly go around bragging about being "Captain Charisma", a heel gimmick popular in
Canada and the
United Kingdom, and usually won his matches with interference from Tomko or by some other creative method of cheating.
The whole time, Tomko could often be seen on camera trying to calm a complaining Christian down or shaking his head in disbelief at the situations Christian put himself and Tomko in with his braggadocio.
One such occasion occurred during the 2005 Royal Rumble, when Christian asked Tomko "for a beat" (in order to have a rap battle with
John Cena), with Tomko simply replying "No".
Christian went ahead with the rap battle anyway.
The duo also occasionally teamed together, and sometimes allied with
Edge as well.
Whenever the duo acted alongside Edge, fans considered Tomko the third party in the occasional reunion of
Edge and Christian.
In June 2005, Edge, Christian and Tomko allied themselves with
Eric Bischoff and his crusade against
ECW.
All in all, Christian and Tomko remained a team until
June 30 when Christian was drafted back to
SmackDown!, splitting Christian's alliances both with Edge and Tomko.
Over a year after Christian Cage left WWE for
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, the combination of Christian and Tomko reunited when Tomko came out during Christian's
NWA World Heavyweight Championship #1 contender's match against
Sting on the
November 23rd (
Thanksgiving Day),
2006 epiode of
TNA Impact.
After a brutal attack on Sting, Tomko and Christian stood tall over him, reunited in TNA in very much the same way they first came together in WWE.
Recently, Tomko and Cage have become involved in an angle where as part of Cage's push for the NWA World Title, Tomko is holding a big dark secret over the champion
Abyss.
So far Christian has gone into detail about it that it has something to do with Abyss having been in prison.
