If that whole Edge, Matt and Lita love triangle never happened? I'm pretty sure that the WWE took their real life situation and ran with it, and thus the Rated R Superstar was born. If that never happened would Edge ever have gotten the WWE title or WHC, would Edge still be a main eventer (prior to getting injured of course). Don't get me wrong I like Edge, what he does outside the ring is his business, but boy do I feel sorry for Matt Hardy, the guys girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend and he got released for talking about it, but came back and really hasn't done much since. Meanwhile serial cheater Edge get's a whole new gimmick change because of that whole situation that rockets him to main event status and wins both the WWE and WH titles. I guess it's true when they say life isn't fair.  |

I agree with you when you say that Matt Hardy sure did get the shorter side of the stick..

I like Matt Hardy as much as the next guy, but Edge being put over in that feud was the right thing to do. Matt Hardy just isn't a main eventer... and he never will be. Edge is and has done an amazing job over the last few years, he's really come into his element.

Edge becoming The "Rated R Superstar" wasnt supposed to happen because in an interview he said he had his friend make those first tights or something with the rated r superstar logo and the wwe didnt originally want to use it but he wore them and it caught on very quick so they ran with it....it was something like that i might be slightly off on that story though....
Anyways i think edge still would of gotten a huge push even without that gimmick because edge is a great all around performer. He was already turning heel as it is before the whole thing with matt was made public knowledge. He started turning heel in late 04 when he started his fued with shawn michaels and he was getting over huge with that. It wasnt until like june of 05 when he ended up taking lita from kane in that gimmick and then it was a month or 2 after that when matt showed back up. So yea i think edge would have still been huge possibly not selling as muich merchandise as he does now with the rated r gimmick but he still would of gotten the big push with money and the bank and all that.
Wow that was a big paragraph...lol..sorry about that

I guess it's true when they say life isn't fair. Life isnt fair. Maybe Matt Hardy should check himself in the mirror and wonder why Lita needed a REAL man. Matt Hardy is a jealous and over possessive boyfriend. He drove Lita into the arms of another man. |

I think it was combination of different things. I think its was the real life situation and edge real life character coming forward into the public eye that lead to wwe making him like he is now.

Edge still would be as big or maybe bigger than he is now. The only thing the Edge/Lita/Hardy angle did was slow him down. I remember their were plans to maybe have him cash in the MITB at SummerSlam, but Hardy coming back and them having to feud put a damper on WWE's plans
