The Cutting Edge Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I actually like the new Edge t-shirt, reminds me of Under Armour slogans, good gym top, like the colour too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 You just get the feeling that they're going to drag this Edge/Orton feud out all year. Or at least until they have an actual arena full of fans to appreciate it. Edge must be fucking gutted, talk about shit timing for a big comeback.

You've got to stick until Charly's line at the end: Tone deaf, these people. One of the most unintentionally funny things in years. The funny thing is, it potentially could reach those heights. Both men are dialed in with this intense feud and the last time they had a straight up singles match on a PPV, they absolutely smashed it in a classic (Vengeance 2004). But fucking hell, let the work speak for itself, such a weird phrase to hype things. It's set the bar unbelievably high when it didn't need to be. A more effective story, given the promo Orton gave, would be to focus on Edge potentially not being that great at a straight-up wrestling match. Sure, he was able to brawl and fight better at Wrestlemania, but tell the story of Edge doubting himself a little, does he have the skill and athleticism that he once had?

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 12, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 It's a pity they went with Edge and Orton during this phase. Especially as they blew their load with the big grudge match, which you have to do, so now a greco roman classic sounds ludicrous. Given Mania was a complete bust, they could have kept Edge off it. had him cut promos about Orton robbing him of his big return and his "WrestleMania" moment. Then right when he comes back, run the draft and split them up. Get the Smackers title on Orton later in the year and then have Edge win next year's Rumble to bring it full circle. 16 minutes ago, Shane O' Mac Version 2 said: The funny thing is, it potentially could reach those heights.

That is the story, that’s why the announcer’s line was so odd (as well as being Schiavone-esque bollocks). Surely they’ve had singles matches on PPV since 2004, though? They were feuding in 2010 for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 12, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2020 Would have pissed myself if Asuka opened the briefcase and it was a TNA title shot in there. "Bruce, you've brought the wrong case, mate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They best do, and at this rate they'll be able to build it out until Summerslam 2021. The split second of Orton's reaction after that last line was funnier than anything WWE have done in 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there was that one where Orton fucked his own wrist up pounding the mat and they had to end the match on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Didn't take long for Asuka's "I'm so wacky" gimmick to go from somewhat entertaining to completely unwatchable. Never in a million years did I think that I would type Asuka and unwatchable in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah, I might have that wrong, I drifted away from wrestling between 2009-2012 and have only watched the big events like Rumble, Mania, Summerslam. Tried to watch Raw/Smackdown and B PPVs from that period and I can't, it's just so dull. But that Vengeance 2004 match is a bit of a hidden gem IMO, as good as anything all year- besides Eddie/Brock and the Benoit/HHH/HBK triple threats.

Maybe it's the lack of audience that's highlighted this. She's strayed into that territory where you'd be embarrassed to be watching her on screen if a non wrestling fan was in the room.
