Just found this channel... Its great but the audio on every clip is so low i can hardly hear them talk unless its on full blast with ear buds in. Mix your audio better please!
Mick Foley is the man when it comes to putting over people and shooting them to superstardom. Mick Foley made Triple H a star with their street fight at RR 2000. He made Orton a star with their match and definitely helped boost edge’s career!
@@SpadezSoRandom It was the I Quit Match at the Royal Rumble that solidified Rock as a badass. The Empty Arena Match solidified Rock as one of the best ad-lib guys in the company’s history.
What always freaks me out is the post-match walk off from Edge and Lita. Edge is literally shaking with his face covered in blood with his flesh smoking. Shit's crazy.
Randy Orton really made Foley look good at Backlash 2004 as well. Randy barely got a good hit in the entire match....... What always freaks me out is watching Foley run into the ringsteps at full speed and smash his knees into them, hurling himself through and over. I cringe every time for the damage he was doing to himself.
I think that was the match that made Edge a true main event material. Altought he won WWE title before, i felt like he wasn't ready to be a top guy. But his match with Foley changed everything.
True. Foley also turned randy Orton into main event material as well after their hardcore match at backlash 04. Both hardcore matches made edge and Orton more serious
Edges 1st run was 14 days and tbh it was good like his match with Flair is a hidden gem and the sex celebration was a very high viewing segment. His 2nd run was definitely better but if RVD didn't get busted would he of got it at the time or at all.
Triple H also credited his status as main event staple in their Hell in a Cell Match.... He was made by Mick in that match too. They used Foley in a lot of these high risk, high reward matches to give credibility to their --at the time-- fringe main event guys. And when he puts them over, they leave in a blood bath... But looking like a million bucks when it's said and done.
vEd sometimes I don’t think ppl know what the word “under rated” even means... how the fuck is EDGE THE RATE R SUPERSTAR “UNDERRATED” GTFO out of here lol...
Edge is that guy I hated as a kid but now as an adult with more knowledge on how wrestling works I truly appreciate everything he's done for the business. The whole Money In The Bank idea he had is genius. To the point that it's its own PPV now. His match with Foley definitely stole the show that year because I remember it like it was yesterday. And of course he's had a lot of memorable feud with the Dudley's and Team Xtreme, Matt Hardy over Lita, Cena, DX vs Rated RKO, even his angle where he was playing Vicky Guerrero was quality entertainment at the time. And of course let's not forget the live sex celebration. Edge was an entertainment machine. Still is too, love seeing him back. Any hardcore fans will tell you how much we missed him. There's only one Rated R Suuuuuperstar, Edge. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I always liked Edge because I'm a bit older. Bret Hart was my first favourite wrestler lol. The guys I hated and grew to appreciate they were just really good villains were Vince McMahon and JBL.
@@Phil_Leotardo I think not updating his gimmick as a MAGA type manager was a mistake. He could've got the most heat we've seen in wrestling since like Muhammad Hassan.
The spot other than the flaming table that had me on edge (no pun intended) was when foley raked the barbed wire bat on edge’s face and had him screaming for his life as a kid watching that at the time was gruesome!
That's the crazy part about hardcore wrestling. Despite all the actual pain the wrestlers put each other through, at the end of the match it's all hugs and kisses. These kinds of wrestlers do it for the fans and love of the art.
I was never a big Edge fan as a kid, (a testament to his skills as a performer and a heel) but I respect the hell outta the man. Especially after that match with Mick. This is the first time I've seen him out of character and he seems like a really good dude.
That hardcore match was one of my favorite experiences of my childhood. I remember me and my friends losing our minds from Socko to the thumb tacks to the barb-wired socko to the flaming table. So fun
Going back to Edge having crazy ideas, I know he pitched for him being tombstoned on top of Hell in a Cell at one point. Can you even imagine how glorious that moment would have looked?
Its crazy how many people Mick elevated to that next level. Triple H with the street fight and subsequent hell in a cell. The Rock with the empty arena brawl and the I Quit match. Randy Orton at Backlash in the Hardcore match. Edge at Mania again Hardcore match.
Edge once said in that show that he thinks drew has potential to be a top star in WWE and look where he is now as WWE champion (dear lord I hope karma doesn't come to bite me in a year time , hope they don't ruin drew)
Yep. It was. Rhyno said that he would be crazy if he did that. And he did 😅 John Cena throwing him off the ladder in the TLC match was Edge's idea too. Cena didn't want to do that, but he insisted. Those sick bumps that he went through in his feud with Batista and Undertaker was also his idea.
@@lalegende2746 Yes. Those TLC matches are still a masterpiece. Six guys willing to do anything to get into history. I still watch thoses matches. Timeless.
Edge should have been in that WWE title match at Wrestlemania 22, he knew it, the fans knew it, and Mick knew it. So Mick decided that he was going to make sure they had the most memorable match on the card and they delivered in spades!
Adam "I didn't think it through too much" Coopland Fun fact: He suggested getting a tombstone on TOP of the Hell in a Cell, Long after his first neck surgery.
@@justinebautista1383 There was no possibility. After the first time people wrestled on top of the cell they fortified it so that nobody was going through on accident again. Look at how stable it is now compared to the Mankind Match.
I feel like Vince being the only one in favor of the cash-in has gotta be hyperbole. I could have sworn it went longer. I recall being mildly bothered after he lost it again. I remember the searing sound when Edge hit that table. That is where I gained a newfound respect for Edge. Willing to do that to himself and put himself near on the level of Foley.
I know edge has had some great singles matches but my favorite match of his will always be when he was still with christian in the triple threat tlc tag team championship match against the dudley boys an the hardy boyz
When I was 10 and saw that match live, I almost had to be revived I was way too hyped up. Had the boys over with some root beers and snacks. The good days 🙏
I feel like it's forgotten because (at least in my opinion) it was the starting point of hating Cena and his mega push. That feel like a pin point moment where once Cena won, the turn and rejection towards him began to rise. Not to mention, that WM had a fair amount of big moments/matches before Cena/HHH. You had Rey Mysterio with the better story/moment of the night in terms of the World Title scene. You had Shawn Michaels in a fun No Holds Barred against Vince and getting fans to go wild when he did the DX sign. Then of course, Edge/Foley. I just thinks fans were burned out by the time the main event happened.
@jason longsden not when they're shorter than 10 minutes, you know the minimum needed to have ads and make money from that. They actually make more money the longer the video is.
@@BigBoss1228 Of course it's the guy with 40 subscribers trying to teach everyone how youtube ads work. Your video does NOT need to be 10 minutes long to put ads on it. Think about how little sense that makes. So you're saying music videos can't run ads? THINK! That 10 minute figure you're thinking of is a general belief that the algorithm favors videos longer than 10 minutes. But that's not a requirement to run ads.
@@B3Band that's rich coming from a guy not even half way to having ads on his "content" 😂 that's a given my dude lmao and on top of that, it's not even me that's said that multiple times, it's other RU-vidrs lol leave it to some random dumbass to assume I'm saying this based off of experience instead of what has been said 😂😂😂 and haven't you noticed this is an old comment, meaning they update things constantly and it could've changed, then again, we have a guy who isn't even a well known channel himself, so goes to show what he knows 😂😂
I was always upset that Edge never had a real championship title run. He always seemed to win by cheating or taking advantage of downed opponents. Sure, he won the World Heavyweight Championship. But that was always a second rate championship compared to the actual WWE Championship.
Its weird because whichever World Title was used on Raw, they would treat it like the top tier #1 title in the company and usually yes it was the wwe title. But I remember wrestlemania 20 and 21 it seemed like the world heavyweight championship was the #1 because it was on raw and it main evented wreetlemanias. Still even at wreetlemania 34 it was treated the same.
I used to love wrestling, but I'm pretty certain that the day the magic died for me was when I saw Edge announce his retirement live. Can't remember watching a match since.
Edge is such a badass!! Real loveable guy. I truly appreciated his run. He carried the company in 2006, that was his fucking year & he owned it going forward.
Punk vs Cena for the WWE Title supposed to be at Wrestlemania 27 instead of that stupid match with Miz. Cena vs Edge supposed to be at Wrestlemania 25.
That's the reason why I love wrestling way more than "real" combat sports, because its never about really hurting someone else or knocking them unconscious, it's a sport that's build so much on trust and keeping each other safe and thats, in my opinion, way more fascinating and way more entertaining to watch than to people actually trying to knock each other out for real
The feud he had with foley was awsome. And then Mick siding with Egde for the One Night Stand PPV then Edge worked with RVD and Cena and Foley worked with Ric. Gave Foley a chance to play heel a first since the early days of Mankind.
These guys that went through the attitude era and are alive to tell the story are the toughest ppl in the entertainment business. Just to give the fans an awesome show they’ll never forget and boost ratings. Nothing like this PG crap they have now. They are all living breathing OG (original gangsters) of the business. Stuff no one would do and put their bodies to the test. respect to edge and mick.
Mania 22 weas the first PPV I ever bought. When this match came on, my brother decided to come in and watch the show with me. We've both been wrestling fans to this day
"my idea" Those two words summarize the love and respect I have for this man. Heck the only wrestler who doesn't need to be from the 6 to get that level of respect. (The extra cherry on top that he is though)
Edge cashing in on Cena is the first thing I seen when I came to watching wrestling. I rage quit when Orton beat Benoit and my grandma bought me smackdown vs raw 2006 for Christmas. I was instantly hooked and I got to meet edge in Florida the Friday before he lost the rated R belt to Cena in TLC.
Edge, it's amazing to see you doing so well man! I'm always reminded of the days of Sweet Daddy Siki and Ron Hutchinson when I catch a glimpse of you. I hope you haven't had to endure any more spin outs on any highways going to gigs!!! ;-)
Because of how edge cashed it vince is a genius. If edge cashed it in any other way by giving a Time and date or cashing in on raw I doubt it would of been well received but because he held the brief case for almost a year and cashed it in at the right time... it worked! There's no suprise that superstars had their doubts but vince knew when and where edge should cash in.
The thing about it is that you can tell that edge really loves this shit. Every time he has spoken about wrestling outside of the WWE his face lights up. Thats why I respect people like him more than ppl like a Brock who is only in it for financial gain. Passion will always Win with the audience.
i don't know but i always loved Edge's style as heel or good guy (well half good guy) even now how he tells these things YOU LIVE IT WITH HIM, like you actually going through it together with him!
