That storyline could’ve just as easily deaded Edge, but it launched him to main event status because he proved himself on the sticks, ethered Matt in multiple promos. Lesser talents could not have taken advantage, hell look at what happened to Matt afterwards.
I don't get what it is with this board with Edge. Like they could've easily fumbled it but when Edge FRIED Matt Hardy with that promo and then started the Rated R Superstar gimmick he clearly had next. I was 13 years old and not reading the dirtsheets at the time, so y'all not gonna sit here and tell me that shyt wasn't resonatingThat storyline could’ve just as easily deaded Edge, but it launched him to main event status because he proved himself on the sticks, ethered Matt in multiple promos.

See, this is where you guys are lying again. Edge was on the ascent all throughout 2002 but the neck injury took him out for a year. Yeah, his run when he came back was wack but once he turned heel, it worked. FOH with multiple failed pushesChristian >>>>
Edge had been given soooo many pushes before the Matt Hardy ish and each time he failed to get over. If not for that, Who knows where edge would’ve ended up.
Edge wasn’t on the ascent to do shyt because he never got over enough on his own to be a main event guy.See, this is where you guys are lying again.

WWE still hasn't matched the ratings highs when Edge was on top
And it wasn't just the live sex celebration either. TLC match the next week did an even bigger rating
When they talk. Christian had ZERO bass in his voice. nor did he have an it factor or sounded charismatic on the mic.
and since when did edge become a better promo than christian??
