Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted November 1, 2002 I've been reading the Smackdown thread and i must say: what's up with all the Edge hate? Some guys have said that he no-sold his shoulder against Benoit. But if you were watching the match carefully, you would notice that Edge actually used his RIGHT sholder for the spear and Benoit was working on his LEFT shoulder. Just thought I would clear that up for all the Edge haters out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 1, 2002 I'm officially in my Smackdown boycott (Or no viewage, however you want to put it, but I'd just like to add, the spear should finish NO ONE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted November 1, 2002 Why? It's a beliveable finisher and the crowd pops for it. Why are you missing a show with great matches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 1, 2002 Why? It's a beliveable finisher and the crowd pops for it. Fuck no, and yes. But the DDT looks better. Why are you missing a show with great matches? I don't care for the main eventers. Plus, It's Halloween, and I KNOW there had to be Halloween HIJINKS~! and I had a horrible ffeling that Angle and Benoit would be booked like idiots again.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted November 1, 2002 Edge used his "injured" shoulder for half the moves in that match! What arm did he use to clothesline Angle off the top to the outside? What arm did he use to beat on Benoit on the top rope to set up for the XFactor? What shoulder did he use for all of his chops without ever stopping to show that his bionic shoulder was in pain?

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted November 1, 2002 What arm did he use to clothesline Angle off the top to the outside? But he was facing Benoit... Oh God, he beat the shit out of both of them at the same time, didn't he. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banky Report post Posted November 1, 2002 You are going to boycot Smackdown! when it has been showing the best WWE TV matches in years? C'mon man, over the past few years we've had sporatic great matches on free TV, not with the consistant goodness we've had since Benoit/Guerrero jumped. Thats bullshit. The show is on fire, and you're gonna boycot it because Edge used a spear to finish someone off? Thats plain petty. But hey, you are the one missing out, not us.

B No, I'm boycotting it because no one (worth a fuck) is getting pushed. Hell, at this point, Edge deserves a push. The matches are great, but it annoys me that they are just going from random match to random match with out upward movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie, Benoit, Angle, and Chavo got the most time on the show. Half of the show was dedicated to their matches and backstage skits. They get to fight each other every week and have awesome matches. How in PETE'S name can you complain about that? These guys are getting the best opportunities out of anyone in the company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not tonight, (I don't know) but that has been the trend, so I don't count the skits. Like I said, the matched are great. Great to watch. It just really bother's me that these guys can go out their and bust their asses and have good matches every week, just to go back into the midcard the next week. Personal Opionion of mine, I feel good matches shouls be rewarded with main event pushes, and bad performences deserve demotions. Of course, I'm also thinking too much while watching these matches. Maybe people who are able to just watch the matches for what they are can enjoy the show more. For whatever reason, I can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its funny how these guys don't care about titles, but a fanboy like you does. A World Title is so trivial, but an opportunity to put on a great match isn't. These guys are getting assloads more opportunities than ever before - and YOU are going to turn it off? Thats downright stupidity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you know, I really think I do know that. they are great matches, and I know they don't care. But personally, I don't WANT to see Brock and the Hoss of the week stink up the main events, I want to see the good matches be the title. I know the title isn't worth anything, but I feel it should symbolize the excellance of the company, if that makes sense. Part of my problem is that I went into the shows every week knowing that someone that I personally considered to be undeserving is being billed as the top guy, While guys that I feel should be the top guys are doing things that (to me) reek of time filler. Every week, I went into the show annoyed with this, and every week, that mindset forced me to enjoy the show less and less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thought I would clear that up for all the Edge haters out there No he didn't. He used the *left* shoulder w/ the Spear that got the pin. I had to tape the 1st 1/2 hour of SD, so I made a point to watch for this. At full speed, it's hard to catch, but if you put it in slo-mo, it's clearly the left shoulder.
