Great thread, would read again!

JimmyMess 11-16-2011 09:26 PM

Its weird. Edge has flat out said he is not, nor will he ever be medically cleared to wrestle again, but I still see Edge as a young wrestler, no matter how old he may be. I still have that expectation that he will be coming out of the curtain in a number of months with a triumphant return because Edge isn't supposed to be done his career.

For a business that is based around entertainment, but isn't in fact a professional sport in the classic term, you would think a major player would only be gone once the people stop cheering for them, or they decide on their own terms that they have had enough.

Edge isn't supposed to be done. He still looks like a young guy full of piss and vinegar trying to knock the main eventers out of the spotlight.

Very well said Jimmy.....at least we may still get the chance to see him (as a personality) unlike other greats, namely Eddie, Owen, Perfect, Rude, Benoit, etc.

I miss Edge, he is among one of my all time favorites and selfishly I'd like to see him again but I'm glad he did wind up in a wheel chair or worse yet a coffin due to wrestling. It was funny I was watching Unforgiven 2006 the other day and I was going to start a similar thread to this. I miss him but we still have over a decade of memories to pour over in order to keep us entertained and the knowledge that he is still alive and well makes it all the better.

i disagree, i thought toward the end of his career that he was looking quite a bit worse than the shape he started in. he was starting to fossilize.

i liked edge, but i'm fine with his time being over. there was nothing left for him to do anyway. besides, the abrupt finality is what makes it a story worth telling.

My all-time favorite wrestler. One of, if not THE hardest worker the business had seen over the past 15 years. He earned everything that he accomplished and never once complained about things no being handed to him. A true professional. Unfortunately, he was injury prone. Just imagine how hard it must have been for him to accept that his career was over. This being a guy who had the fire in his blood from a young age. From a boy voted "Most likely to win the WWF championship" to actually winning it in my hometown of Albany, NY...it was a hell of a career and such an incredible ride. and I am proud to say that was along for all of it.

Very true indeed. He can be a great vehicle for the business.

To be honest, the product has been so great this year, I haven't really thought about Edge. But I, like everyone else here, miss him a lot.

I'm optimistic that we haven't seen the last of his in-ring days though. It worked out for Shawn Michaels...

Anybody Thrilla 11-17-2011 02:35 AM

I don't miss his feud with Kane, I'll say that much.

XL 11-17-2011 05:35 AM

Sad that we never got a Christian/Edge fued where Edge could "pass the torch" before being forced into retirement.

Shisen Kopf 11-17-2011 08:36 AM

I liked edge. I would put him on a par with the likes of Owen Hart, Mr Perfect and that one guy we can't mention. He was a good rassler but he was never as over as the major superstars like Rock, Austin and Man Mountain Rock

RiX1024 11-17-2011 10:44 AM

Man Mountain Rock....how random...

Yes it's a shame, because there haven't been enough Christian threads.

The Jayman 11-17-2011 12:07 PM

you're right there hasn't

Shisen Kopf 11-17-2011 12:21 PM

I'm just glad Christian isnt a jew

Rammsteinmad 11-17-2011 12:50 PM

There's no such thing as 'too many Christian threads'.

Gertner 11-17-2011 12:52 PM

1 Christian thread is too many.

The Jayman 11-17-2011 01:54 PM

I vote more Christian threads

I wonder if WWE should develop some sort of "seasonal" schedule. Not that they would have seasons, but that they would regularly give their workers time off.

Pretty much anytime someone has come back from a hiatus, they have been in great shape.

Big Show took some time off after his ECW run, and when he came back, he was like a changed man with how in shape he was. If more wrestlers did what he did, or what Jericho is doing.... there would probably be less injuries, more variety in storylines, and just more general healthiness.

Obviously you can't have everybody go on break at once, they would need to devise some sort of "schedule", and occasionally switch it up so that one guy isn't ALWAYS on break and never works with another wrestler that could be a big match.

GD 11-17-2011 06:58 PM

I have always been a huge Edgehead from the get go except for the time when they were trying to push him like crazy as a face on Smackdown back in 2002?
