Edge was not accepted as a legit main event act
once given the opportunity, he remained in the main event until he retired. guess everyone who didnt see him as main event material was wrong
I know this is the typical IWC talking point but the plan was always for Randy to be champion. That was the goal of Evolution. His development was faster than anyone elses. No point i holding him down for no reason
orton was destined (no pun) to be a world champion. however by the time summerslam 04 occured he wasnt ready. but given he was younger than brock and we all know how petty the wwe can be, they gave orton the title simply because of his age. this was proven when hhh won the belt 4 weeks later
its crazy that both edge and orton were nothing more than transitional champions the first time they held the belt. both should've been given a little more time to show and prove imo
He was spot monkeying it up in the tag team scene which is why he stayed hurt when it mattered
im not holding that against him. he did it to entertain the fans and he was apart one of the greatest era's in tag team wrestling. dont be fickle now
He was in a comedy tag team
a comedy tag team that bashed the brains in of every babyface tag team. yeah, thats hilarious
it was heel vs heel, but they chose to cheer edge
Thanks to them rubs from Eddie, Angle, Benoit, Hogan
i guess we're gonna pretend having great matches with those wrestlers is a bad thing now
you keep bringing up rubs against edge like its a bad thing. how tf you think stars get made?
and compared the rubs orton got, nigga please
the live sex gimmick? You dont think niggas really tuned in to see fucking EDGE did you?
they tuned in to see a new wwe champion after seeing cena overcame the odds for 9 months. people were starting to grow tired of cena. it was a breath of fresh air
the idea of sex on live tv added to the intrigue
it was the perfect storm
