Guest Report post Posted April 6, 2002 If you take a long look down the roster of the WWF,I personally believe that the FUTURE main eventer's of the WWF lie in Rob Van Dam, Edge, Brock Lesnar (big call in such a small time i know, but just check out the reaction he gets when he storms the ring) and possibly The Hardy's. Now we already know RVD is quite capable of headlining a PPV, as he did that last year. Edge however seems to have what it takes to be the next best thing in wrestling, excluding maybe Lesnar, who , if used CORRECTLY (PLEASE don't screw this one up VINCE!) could be the next Goldberg. In your favourite Taker Mark's humble opinion, for Edge to GET OVER totally and be RESPECTED as more than a gimmick style wrestler he needs, this is gonna sound terrible but, an edge to his charecter. For starters, Edge my friend LOSE THE 70's ROCK STAR STYLE HAIR! Edge with a 'Triple H cut' or something similar would be more than an improvement over his current look. Next i think Edge needs to think before he talks, for example, his interviews and promo's are full of cheap jokes followed by cheesy grins on his behalf. This won't do unless he plans on being content with the IC title region. Edge needs a killer instinct injected into his mic work so that instead of people thinking of him as a prankster, they think of him as seriously something to fear. Now i do realise that my opinions are very biased and one-sided, so this is where everyone else comes into play. Any suggestions on what Edge should do next would be greatly appreciated, as i beleive Edge is the future, and the star closest to making it to the big time at present. All opinions and comments are welcome. Now...were did i stick that tape of the Undertaker... This has been the Taker Mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Beating Kurt Angle in five straight PPV's with each pin fall coming from a increasing number of spears in each match. Let me spell this out for you slow witted chaps... PPV 1= 1 spear in order to pin Angle PPV 2= 2 spears PPV 3= 3 spears PPV 4= 4 spears PPV 5= 5 spears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted April 6, 2002 "For starters, Edge my friend LOSE THE 70's ROCK STAR STYLE HAIR! " I agree 100% with you. When Edge and Booker were fighting over shampoo, someone suggested it should be a hairvs.hair maatch. I felt Edge needed to lose the hair. It might make the teeth stick out more but there is absolutely nothing unique about his look and the hairdo isn't doing him any favors. Another obstacle in Edge's path is the writers and bookers. The win one-lose one mentality has to go in the WWF. Establish who you want to push. If Edge isn't put over people convincingly and consistently, then what's the point? We know Edge can entertain a crowd and work the stick (X-Pac and Billy Gunn shoots, the hilarious E&C skits) so give him more interview and skit time.

Guest Nater Report post Posted April 6, 2002 I think he needs about 20-30 more lbs of muscle before he is buyable to the marks.. he still looks like a tall skinny dork on tv (however large he may be in life doesnt matter) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 6, 2002 I think he needs about 20-30 more lbs of muscle before he is buyable to the marks.. he still looks like a tall skinny dork on tv (however large he may be in life doesnt matter) I agree with you there, just look what bulking up did for Trippers. Along with his amazing charisma, he had the LOOK to help make him the greatest heel of this century, hands down. HIT WEIGHT GAIN 4000 SOON ADAM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Thats right, yes. If you take a look at matches where Paul wrestled as Hunter-Hearst-Helmsley, the Grenwich snob, he was fairly skinny looking...well compared to how he is now anyway. After Wrestlemania 15, when Hunter began his single's push, he packed on the muscle...resulting in what we see before us every week on TV - Triple H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DARRYLXWF Report post Posted April 6, 2002 I just don't see Edge as a threat right now, and I think his non-bulkiness is a major factor as to why I, along with many other people don't see him as a threat to anything. And besides, what has he DONE that makes him a threat? King of the Ring? Nah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest muzanisa Report post Posted April 6, 2002 He's had his run. If Angle can't elevate him then stop the push and reform E&C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted April 6, 2002 I don't know how much reforming E&C could do. I'm sorry but in my opinion, tag team wrestling is the most boring waste of a good wrestling match there could possibly be. You can ALWAYS see the finish coming, and I HATE that damn spot where two wrestlers slowly climb back to their corner. Christian can do great as an arrogant cruiserweight heel, and he's on the right show for it too. Christian/Tajiri vs. Angle/Kidman next week on Smackdown? Fuck, I'd book it! (But I'm a Kidman mark, so I digress) How to elevate Edge..Well, let's see...cut out the lame "shoot-style" promos he does and get an actual sense of humor...Add a sense of elevated craziness to his already wacky personality (like when he gets pushed too far), he's DEFINITELY got the look for a mental patient. And have the Rock job out to him. It's the best way to get a main eventer over...AS LONG AS YOU DON'T STICK HIM WITH A MCMAHON. As far as I've seen being stuck with a McMahon is a surefire way to get your character stuck in midcard hell. Look what it did for the likes of Steve Blackman, Big Show, and Test. Or in the worst recent case, Chris Jericho (I'm an even bigger Y2J mark). Unless you're HHH, and win every match and being a badass heel that always seems to come out on top, I've still never seen a McMahon help another wrestler get over by being their manager. Even Austin was a better heel without Vince by his side (pre-InVasion). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Caliban Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Edge is getting there slowly but surely. A lot of people see his feud with Angle as a step down for Angle. I believe that it is more like a step up for Edge. Angle is still over, he has great heat right now. And if Edge gets a clean win over Angle then it will be a step up for him. I think all Edge needs is credibility right now. The poor guy was jobbing to William Regal for most of the year. He can make it. Just watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Angle is still over, he has great heat right now. And if Edge gets a clean win over Angle then it will be a step up for him. Hi there.

Guest Caliban Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Angle can lose sometimes can't he? Hey I like Angle. He's the best performer in the WWF right now. I'd like him even more if he helped to put over talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Angle can lose sometimes can't he? Hey I like Angle. He's the best performer in the WWF right now. I'd like him even more if he helped to put over talent. Putting Edge over clean could kill Kurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Caliban Report post Posted April 6, 2002 I doubt that... Angle would likely get his heat back at some point anyway. And hell, Angle has done jobs for just about everyone on the upper card roster... and he still has his heat. Jobbing to Edge wouldn't kill it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest muzanisa Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Happy Sault didn't last long;) No way should Angle or Rock job to Edge. Angle can make him look competitive and if they can have ***+ matches then that will help. Angle should only job to the M/E and guys at his level like Jericho and Benoit. Rock has jobbed to everyone in the last couple of years and should be protected for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Star Ocean 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Edge needs a real finisher. His spear is awful, and that "Edgecution" DDT or whatever isn't very well known. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shawn Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Is Edge ready for the top? Hell no. He sucks aside from E&C. I just hate how they pump those Edgehead cheers through the PA when he comes out. It's like Goldberg for WCW (with the chant/cheer pumping thing). Spear! ...or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest humongous2002 Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Edge needs to get a new finisher because the Spear is not as impactful as the GORE!!! Then he needs to get bigger, cause he still looks like a tall, skinny, geek so he's got to ask HGH how to do a good cycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest the living legend Report post Posted April 6, 2002 Edge needs to do something with the hair and needs to gain some muscle he really looks skinny on tv. Personally they've got to reform the E & C team as there is just no time to push Edge when there are more important talents to push ie. Jericho and Angle and Brock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
