Edge was my favourite from his debut until he retired. I’ve always liked Orton too. I haven’t watched wwe in years but watched this on YouTube and it was incredible. I’m hoping given the seniority of these guys that they’ll be able to push the direction of this and the usual dross will be kept far away. Just amazing stuff from both. Great promos and wonderful angle.

Not a good enough excuse. Sort your shit out. Incorrect use of the word 'then' just became a sunspendable offense.

I like that you made a typo in that grammar-bashing post.

Edge was my guy from the first time I saw him bombing to the ring in his first Rumble. A consistently great hand who I don't think ever got the credit he deserved because he never really had that signature singles-career-making feud. He was always great at character stuff, made potentially awful dross like the sex celebration and the Vickie saga through sheer force of commitment and sense of humour, got dem wans to cheer Cena when nobody else could, and was brave enough to walk away when his body told him to. Orton's the perfect safe hand for him. Someone suggested a feud with Seth which made me cringe - I wouldn't trust Rollins with Edges neck at all. Orton knows what he's doing. It'll be fun watching them outsneak each other.

I thought Edge was not medically cleared and that’s why he retired?

I dont think it ever got to that stage did it, from what I remember he saw the specialists who basically said he was done and risked Paralysis at the least If he continued and decided to retire on the spot.

However He almost certainly wouldn't of been cleared had he not listened to the advice so more walked before he was pushed.

This wasnt quite a Daniel Bryan situation of wanting to carry on but not being cleared.

I think this is the most positive I’ve seen people for raw in maybe 5 years the quality of the show has much improved.

The edge angle was fantastic and I’m looking forward to the next chapter, Seth and his crews battles to come with the roster is also fun.

It seems like under Heyman the show finally has a lot of focus where as Smackdown is dreadful.

Yeah, I hate to be all "Heyman, accentuate the positives, hide the weakness, Smackdown 6" but it really does seem like since Heyman took over the quality is way, way up.  Even he can't fix the drag of 3 hours though.

I daren't give Heyman any credit as some will cry about it, but whoever it is, you're absolutely right. It's been obvious for weeks and weeks. Someone said earlier this was the best Raw in ages.  It had a killer angle but seriously, wasn't even the best show this month. They're doing really well at the mo.

Joe's not at the youngest stage of his career but he's at an Ahmed Johnson level of injuries since being on the main roster. 

I think it's karma for his commitment to having the worst hairstyles and beard in wrestling. I don't know if it's just because he's fat and ugly so it's harder to pull stuff off, but man, he should be banned from going to the barbers on his own. I'm worried that any time off will just give him even worse ideas about what hair to have when he comes back.

A returning Edge with an on-form Orton programme has enough history and material to go well into the summer.

In 1990, maybe. The wait for this match to happen at Mania will feel protracted and they’ll be wrapped by the PPV after it.

Yeah, I'm expecting a three match series at best - one match at the Saudi show, interaction at Elimination Chamber, rematch at Wrestlemania, maybe a gimmicked rematch at the following PPV, depending on what it is. We'll probably have a Rated RKO reunion by Survivor Series. 

I'm wondering if there's any chance of Christian coming back - they obviously don't see him as worth anything like the attention that Edge gets, and if it's a concussion thing he might not be able to come back, but I still think of them predominantly as a tag team before thinking of either of them as singles guys.

It's interesting that the WWE nostalgia machine sees Edge as the singles star he became, but the Hardy Boyz as defaulting back to a midcard tag team act.
