Guest benoitrulz4life Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I don't know, but it seems to me that no one does a better job of getting the living dog shit beat out of them than Edge. It's Ricky Morton v2.0! Seriously though, I'd have to vote Edge as Most Improved Wrestler in the RSPW Awards, because his selling is top-notch.

Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 He's no where near a Shawn Michaels either. RVD does a good job of taking a "Beating." His selling is a issue though.
Guest Brian Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Rey Mysterio is my pick for most improved. Since about October of last year he's turned everything around.
Guest Goodear Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 He dosn't take MAN~SIZED bumps like Perfect did... Perfect oversold way to much, taking too many superbumps from basic punches. Edge keeps his down to a more acceptable level.

Edge keeps his down to a more acceptable level. I disagree. Perfect saved his best bumping for PPV. I liked watching his flying shoes act. Edge just goes limp, snarls, and whines....
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Angle's pretty damn good at Bumping & Selling also. It's just he plays a heel so he dictates the pace of the matches. (Unless, he's wrestling the Undertaker then Taker of course takes all the Offense) Another things that makes me scratch my head is the beef with Storm & Christian having heat for controlling the Offense. But, that's a whole other subject. Eddie's damn good too.
Guest Goodear Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Well, I will say that no one sold getting kicked in the back of the legs like Perfect did. But leaping in the air and spinning 360 degrees off a punch? Kinda lame.
Guest Dr. Wrestlingphysics Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I think Edge does a very good job of selling, on feel he has improved in all aspects of wrestling over recent months (apart from on the mic, where it is the same old Edge). Of current wrestlers, I think the much maligned Buba Ray Dudley takes bumps well, even (as seen on Raw) on his face!

Yeah, but bumping as a heel is totally different, since they usually don't get grinded into paste like a face does for the majority of the match. The heel doesn't have to get the fans behind them while taking punishment, which a face just has to if they want to succeed. Edge gets over that he is in actual danger, which is something Austin and Undertaker have never been able to master. Rock did a good job of it, until, of course, he just kipped up and went back to the attack.
Guest Incandenza Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Jeff Hardy. Getting the tar kicked out of him is about the only thing he CAN do well now.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Jeff Hardy. Getting the tar kicked out of him is about the only thing he CAN do well now. Yeah, but he looks beat up in just about every match. Even when he's on offense.
ChrisMWaters Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Edge gets over that he is in actual danger, which is something Austin and Undertaker have never been able to master. I kinda disagree with you on the Taker front. I remember watching through some old wrestlemania tapes...and he seemed to sell that he was in danger a few times. ...of course, then again, his danger could also be just him playing possum...maybe I'm wrong. ^^ What's the point of this...oh yeah. I miss old school version Undertaker.
Guest Incandenza Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Jeff Hardy. Getting the tar kicked out of him is about the only thing he CAN do well now. Yeah, but he looks beat up in just about every match. Even when he's on offense. Yeah, but that adds to it. I agree with you about his offense; I was saying that selling is the only thing he can even do remotely well.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Bumping is the only thing he can do remotely well. The selling is probably a product of it actually hurting since he rarely ever makes contact on his moves. but yeah, I see what you're saying.
Guest Incandenza Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 You have a point, too. Bumping and selling aren't always the same thing (RVD is a master at the former, but terrible with the latter).
Guest Anglesault Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I don't know, Edge is so rarely getting beaten down that.... Oh, you mean in matches, don't you.
Guest humongous2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 Edge never gets beat, he always wins every freaking feud he is on. That's why he is Smackdown's #1 babyface, if there was an RVD on Smackdown then he'll be a #2 babyface.OOOOPS you meant getting beat up meaning bumping in the ring,OOOH my bad, he is ok at doing that I've seen better.
Guest Redhawk Posted October 12, 2002 Report Posted October 12, 2002 D-Von is an underrated seller. He used to take all the Dudleys' beatings, since Bubba Ray is the most protected guy tHHHis side of...some guy. Anyway, D-Von tops it off with his cool twitch.
Guest Cataclysm911 Posted October 12, 2002 Report Posted October 12, 2002 I gotta go with Spike. The fact that he keeps getting up is amazing.
