Impeccable

Many thanks to everyone who "Rated The Moment" last time around. It was a pretty high scoring affair with Shawn Michaels first title win scoring an 8.4. The moment seemed pretty popular with some people, and the score appears to be quite high. I'm sure there will be many moments that beat it in the future, but it seems to have left a lasting legacy. Next up...
Edge Cashes In The Briefcase

Main Participants: Edge, John Cena
Event: New Year’s Revolution
Date: January 8th 2006
In the build up to New Year’s Revolution 2006, we start almost a year earlier at Wrestlemania 21. On the run up to Wrestlemania 21, Chris Jericho had an idea, which he ran by Eric Bischoff. The idea was to place 6 men in a ladder match at Wrestlemania, where the winner would receive a guaranteed shot at the WWE title shot. The contract, valid for a year, would hang over the ring in a briefcase. Eric Bischoff announced the competitors would be Jericho himself, Christian, Chris Benoit, Edge, Kane and Shelton Benjamin. The match was amazing, and Edge came out on top as the victor, and with the briefcase. Over the summer, a heel Edge became even bigger when he was paired with Lita. It was slightly unusual in that Edge and Lita’s real life relationship was in the public eye after their affair and Matt Hardy’s subsequent release from WWE. This really seemed to put Edge over as a heel. Matt Hardy returned to WWE in what at the time seemed real, but in reality was a worked shoot. Hardy interfered in Edge;s match with Kane and was officially bought back to feud with Edge. The feud was intense, but professional. Edge beat Hardy at SummerSlam, after the match was stopped due to Hardy losing too much blood. They had a Steel cage match at Unforgiven, which Hardy won and then they had a “Loser leaves Raw” Ladder match, where Edge defended the Money In The Bank briefcase. Edge won the match, keeping him on Raw and further increasing his stock in the WWE.
Edge suffered a torn pectoral shortly after, but WWE officials saw value in keeping Edge on TV, so introduced a talk show called The Cutting Edge. It was around this time that Edge began referring to himself as The Rated-R superstar. Edge used the show to start a feud with then intercontinental champion, Ric Flair who had recently been arrested for road rage. The show was that insulting that Sgt. Slaughter and Michael Hayes came out to stop the show. Edge attacked them both and laid them out in the middle of the ring. After weeks of insults, Flair finally broke and a match was soon booked for the New Year’s Revolution PPV. Edge was disqualified at the PPV against Ric Flair, and it was thought that his involvement in the PPV was over.
In the meantime, John Cena claimed the WWE championship from JBL at Wrestlemania 21, soon replacing the belt with a spinner belt (the one we see today). JBL claimed that his belt was the real one and that he was still the champion, but John Cena beat him for that too, and retired that belt, keeping his spinner belt. Cena left Smackdown as Eric Bischoff’s first draft pick in 2005. Cena and Bischoff didn’t see eye to eye at the start, as Bischoff wanted Cena to help with his vendetta against ECW. John wouldn’t help so Bischoff chose Jericho to be the person to deal with Cena. John Cena eventually beat Jericho in a “You’re Fired” match. It was around this time that fans started to boo John Cena. His next opponent was Kurt Angle. Cena introduced the STFU in this angle, and while losing by disqualification in their initial meet, Cena pinned Angle at Survivor Series that year. In early December, it was announced that there would be a fourth Elimination chamber. Bischoff held qualification matches, where Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Carlito, Chris Masters and Kane all qualified, with Jon Cena having to defend his title against all five at New Year’s Revolution. John successfully defended his title, but it came at a price. He was wearing the proverbial crimson mask and could barely stand at the end of the PPV.
Well, it was thought to be the end. Vince McMahon came out and told staff to “Raise The Cage” as the night wasn’t over. Edge had cashed in his title shot and ran to the ring, much to the appreciation of the fans. Cena stood up, but Edge knocked him down with a few vicious looking punches. Edge speared Cena twice and took the title for the first time with the fans in attendance going crazy. New Year’s Revolution closed with Edge holding the title aloft.
