How did Matt Hardy, Lita, and Edge go through with that storyline?

that would be some trailer park trim that would have been actually worth it, I don't know if Im buying this Edge was a simp story line. We know he at least saw the tatas. That is on camera. He probably just didn't hit as much as he would have liked

I watched this podcast last night where Matt detailed the whole story, starting with when he first felt like something was wrong. I'm just wondering how all three of them were able to deal with that storyline when things were still fresh.

I guess on one hand, the company had no choice but to address it since people found out online, but that was some intense, personal shyt. Like when Edge cut that promo on Matt, calling him out for not marrying Lita. How much of this storyline was just them shooting? And when were they able to move past it? :dwillhuh:



He was released from WWE in February 2005 and was brought back in July 2005. I'm guessing they had to have a sitdown with everyone involved to clear and the air and determine whether they could be professional with each other before going through with the angle.

I used to enjoy ethering Matt in that era--I was one of the ones pushing the The L's of .... thread.

This is true according to an interview from Edge at the time. He offered to go up there or have it out in the parking lot after a show.

Matt refused and instead posted about it online.

Meanwhile, Edge was blowing up Lita's phone or at one point followed her to Florida (?) I think and she told Matt about it.

They were both immature.

But Edge's promos were :whew:


From what I hear, their relationship was bound to die within the next year or two regardless of if Lita saw clearly or not. Edge just happened to be the one to catch her during a moment where she was vulnerable.

Also, wasn’t there a story of Edge offering Matt the fade for this if Matt was still angry (after Matt came back) and Matt declined?

Definitely the steel cage. One of the GOAT moments on Raw.

Whichever one he talked about giving the United States and enema, and sticking the hose in Pittsburg

Not a promo, but when Bret and McMahon fight at the announce table in Halifax :wow:


I've said it several times, but 1997 was the greatest year in wrestling history.

:russ: Wrong thread breh, but I do agree that was one of Bret's greatest promos

Lita certainly hated it and I can see why

Matt saw it as a way to get his shine. You can tell he loves airing shyt out in public, and he thought he'd look like the big hero.

I'm guessing Edge wasn't keen at first, but pretty quickly saw it as an opportunity to jump to the next level. And goddamn did he capitalize.

Matt's return promo and Edge's follow up ether was a quick sign that things weren't gonna go well for Matt.

To his credit, he bounced back (eventually)

I wished I went to shows as a kid :mjcry:I only had to rely on the tv

Yeah my dad took me and we were always broke as fukk so looking back I know he planned and saved for it.

I think it was the same night after the show that we ended up walking beside Paul bearer downtown on the way to the car, him and my father talked for a few minutes and dad showed him where the nearest decent bar was :mjlol:

That may have been a different show, I went a few times when they were here

The only show I remember going to when I was young was when Mark Henry made his debut and he was feuding with Jerry Lawler
