Edge return date set
 

PWInsider.com

As has been WWE's custom recently in an attempt to get more buys of their PPV events, Edge is set to return to action from injury at the November 18 Survivor Series PPV.

Edge joins Rey Mysterio, Triple H, Undertaker as WWE stars who have made their return to the company on a PPV rather than on free TV.

How in the hell would they promote booking a heel to return at a PPV and expect people to buy the PPV just to see him?

I mean it works for the other three because they are faces, but Edge is/was Smackdown's top heel and I don't think see that method working.

Has it really even upped PPV buyrates?

I know WWE are kinda desparate, but Come ON.

Yeah and how would they even tell if a "return" really helped the buyrates. I mean they would have to poll every household that buys the PPV to see if they paid to see the return of X wrestler.

I remember Pillman doing that to Austin in the Spring of 97 when he returned from injury.

All these PPV returns are garbage, nothing special happens on PPV, they just show up and wrestle there match, YAY!! Well worth shelling out over 40 dollars for.

Can we just have Steve-O thrown off of the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago this Sunday instead? :shifty:

I'd pay 40 bucks for that.

Wow. They even managed to make the returns boring?

FUCK. That's talent.

The last few PPVs have definitely been lacking in swerves or title changes. The only shocking thing of recent memory was Batista actually winning a title match.

The biggest cause of title changes this year has been out of necessity because of injuries.

Hmm...not tryin' to read too much into this but with HBK and Edge both set for Survivor Series returns...yes, they're on different shows and whatever, but a match with some sort of stipulation on it between the two might not be all bad (or they'll just rep their brands at the SS Elim. Match...)

nothing will top that return for me. JR's call through that was awesome.

So would I. And have Ron Simmons do it and yell "DAMN!" real loud afterwards.

I hope they do this Survivor Series like the other years and not like last year. I would like it as Raw vs Smackdown! vs ECW instead of the combination of all three brand's rosters.

Can't wait for Edge to come back.
