lol Edge is the man
NoDQ.com > WWE > Edge gets offended during CNN show
Posted by Aaron Rift on 12/20/2006 at 05:52 PM

When Edge and Shelton Benjamin were on Showbiz Tonight on CNN they talked about the mortar that landed only 300 yards from the base while the wrestlers were at Camp Victory. They showed the video. There was an uncomfortable moment when the female host of the show said, "Now, we all know wrestling is fake...big shocker, but what goes on in Iraq is real and" . . then she asked Edge about how he felt about going. Edge said in response, that this was his first trip going because the first time he was suppose to go go he had broken neck in this fake industry of ours.

Yeah, and guess what? The media doesn't care. Seriously, after all of the tell-all books, all of the arrests on drug charges, all of the documentaries, all of the injuries, and all of the advancement in the industry, the media still looks at wrestling as a sideshow circus not worthy of merit but of mockery and scrutiny. Wrestlers on TV shows and in movies are still portrayed as bulked-up masked men as ridiculous cartoony characters. It doesn't make a difference how bad Edge's was broken. The reporter still isn't going to give a sh*t.

So he should just sit there and not even say anything about it?

Come on, I mean I haven't seen the footage but if he did so in a somewhat calm manner then what is the big deal? She made a snotty remark about wrestling being fake, Edge simply replied that he broke his neck for a "fake" sport. I don't see that being bad on his part, if she wasn't being some high and mighty reporter trying to be oh so clever, then he wouldn't have made that remark.

Fixed.

This is not the way to "get back at" or "stand up to" the media. This is the equivalent of Funky trying to dissolve the black stereotype of a thug by screaming on camera waving a gun and slapping his "ho."

So if someone basically insulted what you do for a living, you would just sit there and not say anything back?

I mean if he went Vince McMahon on her and started yelling and making threats, then yeah that's not cool. But if he is responding to a comment that he took offense to in a calm manner, then why should that look bad on him?

What difference does it even make if he was injured in a "fake" sport? People get injured doing some pretty menial things. It lends no credibility to his side, and comes off as equally snotty (and bitter).

Someone insults my profession, I will do my best to make the most positive statement I can. Rather than validate her, I would disarm the statement.

We all know wrestling is fake, independent of Edge's injury. That's a stupid and pointless comment.

She said that it was fake, which had no barring in the freaking story, Edge simply stated that he broke his neck in the fake sport. That just means, hell if it is so fake then how come people get hurt all the time doing it?

That's not something that Edge should be scorned over. I mean it's not like he went in full-on wrestling promo on her going "Yeah you stupid bitch, if you think it's so fake why don't you step in the ring with the Rated R Superstar? GRRRRRRR!!!"

That would be dumb of him to do, but he didn't. And unless he acted in an equally snotty tone, then he did nothing wrong that anyone else in his position would've done.

I could see how it could be interpreted as an attack, but it's funny seeing the same people who didn't see the segment and assumed Edge wasn't spazzing out also assuming that the woman was being a snotty bitch.

In any event, it's all taken out of context, but I think the principle of supporting someone for snapping back is pretty stupid.

Well like I said I didn't see it, BUT I also did say that assuming he did respond in a non-assholeish manner, then he didn't do anything wrong.

I will retract my statement if I have evidence to the contrary (ie: the video of him spazzing out ala McMahon during the Costas interview a few years back).

I just want to give Edge the benefit of the doubt on this one.

right. Because people don't get injured in other "fake" forms of entertainment.

Of course, you're assuming the tone is snotty on her end. Didn't you just say you didn't see the segment?

But you're still only giving one side the "benefit of the doubt." The online transcripts don't look like there was any conflict on either side. So your assumption is still flawed.

From the way it comes off in that report, Edge did the right thing. Remember when that lady was hired by the WWE, and she asked JBL how he kept making the "fake blood" come out. People see wrestling like that, and at the risk of sounding overly sensitive about professional wrestling, that is quite ignorant. People seem to think it is all "smoke and mirrors" and there is no skill involved with what they do.

It's like saying a stunt-man is a pussy because he doesn't really want to kill the guy driving the car when he smashes through the windshield.

There was no reason to take a stab at professional wrestling in that interview, the whole point was to promote it. Edge did the right thing, and what he said actually made sense in context to the question. If he had started tossing furniture around, and given her a stiff Spear to try and prove his point, then yes, that may have been overdoing it. Making a retort was fine, in my opinion. If anything, she came off the idiot.

Well honestly if someone was blatently insulting something I love passionatly I could see taking it as a personal attack. His response wasn't too outlandish. Love him for speaking his mind.

Weren't you the person who assumed Triple H was taking shots at John Cena, when he said Kurt Angle wasn't getting the heel responses he was meant to?

The meaning of the words, and the sense in which it is reported doesn't necessarily paint her as a bitch, she used the word "fake", which has negative implications. Perhaps if she had said "scripted", as previously mentioned, which it is, things would have probably gone smoothly.

The word "fake" shows ignorance, as professional wrestling isn't "fake". Guys stiff the shit out of each other all the time. It's like saying movies are "fake".

People think there is absolutely no risk involved in professional wrestling. "Smoke and mirrors", if you will. It's this kind of mentality Edge was obviously trying to deflect, and I doubt he would have done it if she hadn't come off like an uneducated bitch.

You make assumptions all the time. Don't call someone out because they do. Remember when you thought The Miz was a babyface?

You don't need to see the segment to read the title of the article "Edge gets offended". Hmm, sounds like he took offence to something the woman said. If she offended him, we are probably right to make the inference she came off either condescending or ignorant.

Of course, the legitimacy of the article is disputable. No DQ? Hmm.

Yeah, there was no reason at all for this woman to bring up wrestling being "fake". Justifies Edge, IMO.

As am I.

If you replace Edge with, say, Austin, there'd be less of a debate. on second thought, there'd be an act of domestic violence on set.

However, at least Edge didn't call her a mindless talking head. That'd be tit for tat. He actually took the high road.
