Guest Report post Posted June 2, 2002 According to the house show reports from last night, Edge announced that he'd be having shoulder surgery Tuesday and will be out for "several weeks". Now while I don't especially like Edge, he was having some decent matches and was some new blood at the top of the card. With him out, I wonder what happens, because Smackdown is rather low on faces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted June 2, 2002 He was having decent matches with Angle. That means jack shit. He's not a big loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 2, 2002 >_< Considering how over Edge is, and how many good matches he's had, this is a rather big blow to the Smackdown roster. I guess we can see more HUK HOGNA~! on my tv for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 2, 2002 Well, I don't wish an injury on Edge. But, since it has happened, one positive result would be RVD going up one spot in the pecking order. One negative (IMHO) - depending on how many weeks Edge means as "several" - might be Benoit's return to the SD roster. SD consistently trails Raw in the ratings, so maybe they can afford his loss even less now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 2, 2002 And here's the double whammy: Not only is he going to be out for several weeks, they're probably only going to half-ass the explanation of WHY he's out for several weeks, and undo all the momentum they had put behind him. Meaning when he comes back, they'll have to start all over. Very ill-timed injury. (Not that it's ever a good time to be hurt). Much like Kane's injury a couple months back at the start of this whole Bland Extention foolishness. Now, with luck they'll bring him back out next week and have him get "injured" in a beatdown to write him out for a while AND give someone else the heat of "taking him out" in a meaningful way and not just Kurt coming out now and saying "oh by the way I took Edge out of action in that match up thingy that we had" in what will look like an obvious cover up. So I guess we won't have our first ever repeat King of the Ring winner after all, huh? :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bcu1979 Report post Posted June 2, 2002 Well, if Edge is going to be out for a while they could accelerate this Jericho face turn they seem to be teasing the last couple weeks. But the WWE seems to think Jericho is more useful playing Vince's fool on tv and jobbing to Hardcore Holly on house shows than as a focal character in main event angles. So I'll also guess that they'll try and turn Test face and give him yet another push. They seemed to tease that on the weekend house shows. Can you imagine....a Test/Triple H tag team?

Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted June 2, 2002 I just saw the spear off the top that caused him to get hurt. There are only two possible reasons of how he got hurt. 1. He hit Angle wrong, since he was jumping down rather than jumping off this is the most likely reason. 2. Angle was coming too fast and Edge didn't have time to time it correctly. Angle is known for moving fast in the ring but I don't think its the case. What's ironic is that Benoit got hurt around the same time the Edge push started, Benoit comes back and now Edge is hurt. If Edge isn't hurt too badly this could be a blessing for everyone (even Anglesault). If Edge isn't hurt too badly then they can play up the "I took Edge out" bit and Edge and Kurt feud in a "you hurt my arm I'm gonna kick your ass" program, which is much better than Angle vs Hogan.

Guest Whatmaniac Report post Posted June 3, 2002 Why is it that every time the WWF tries to elevate someone, the wrestler in question goes and gets injured? Edge now joins Kane, Chris Beniot, Spike Dudley, Hardcore Holly, and Rhyno as up and coming talent that sees a huge push negated by injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted June 3, 2002 The sad (or funny in an ironic way) thing is that pushing Edge was probably just about the only plan the WWE had for the summer...and now they can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 3, 2002 What's ironic is that Benoit got hurt around the same time the Edge push started, Benoit comes back and now Edge is hurt. Ah ha!

Guest Xstasy Report post Posted June 3, 2002 Man, here's hoping Edge gets well... and soon. Damn, Edge/ Angle has been some of the best stuff in the WWE recently. Although alot of that can be attributed to Angle, still Edge has had more than his fair share of great stuff. Ah well, more pushes to go around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted June 3, 2002 Hopefully we can get him back for Summerslam and have that HHH - Edge match alongside Hogan - Vince.. another Edge - Angle match (ironman anyone?) would be sweet too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how, but in some way it's because of her. She's my all-purpose scapegoat for anything and everything that goes wrong, or is evil and/or unfortunate.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted June 3, 2002 another Edge - Angle match (ironman anyone?) would be sweet too. No, no it wouldn't. For two main reasons. 1) An ironman match means that we would have to see the Angle/Edge feud start again. 2) Angle will carry Edge's ass to a good match and get a "good job son, now put Test over." while Edge will get rewarded.
