Edge story

By
Hi Scott,

Been reading you for ten years. Thought you and the BOD might enjoy this:

My wife met Adam Copeland here in Calgary yesterday at some meet and greet thing. He was incredibly nice and actually had a mini conversation with each person in line. My wife (who had given off no hint of smarkiness) was telling him that the night he money-in-the-banked Cena was one of her favorite moments as a fan. He then told her that although Vince supported his first title run, others in power did not. He proceeded to make a gesture indicating a person with a huge nose.


Pinocchio?  Karl Malden?  Pete Townsend? I'm stumped.

    Scott, as a Canadian, I'm extremely disappointed in you. Edge was quite clearly referring to Geddy Lee.

    Didn't he tell this story on his DVD?

    So this confirms that Vince still does what he wants to do, right? If he wants Zack Ryder to be champ tomorrow, he'll be champ tomorrow.

    BWAH-HA-HA-HA. WOOO WOOO WOOOH, RYDER WON'T BE CHAMP EVER.

    While you are correct that he won't be the WWE champ, If Vince wanted Zack Ryder to be champ tomorrow, he'd be champ tomorrow. He'd be a jobber champ, but that's beside the point.

    Bytor would be a good wrestling name. And the Snowdog sounds like one of those crazy names they tried to give to Steve Austin. I vote for MOAR Geddy Lee conversations!

    Story time:



    Neil's 1st gig with Rush was right here in Pittsburgh. There was a showing of their doc Beyond the Lightest Stage in a theater here when it came out a few years ago. The doc was split into chapters, and when they got to the Neil (chapter titled "The New Guy") the audience of course popped and applauded.


    But what was fun for the locals (and the transplanted, like me) was when they talked about Neil's 1st gig being at the (then, and RIP) Civic Arena: they showed some overhead stills of the venue, and entire theater (myself included) really popped hard like no one's business. It was one of those neat things that only a select few (in this case, us) could really appreciate.

    That doc is amazing. Even my wife, who was never a Rush fan before, watches it every time it's on.

    You should check out Konnan's show with Jericho this past week. Jericho (around the one hour mark) goes into HHH's position in the company and his current power level. I was a little surprised. Jericho didn't even talk to Vince to set up his latest return. He went through HHH and HHH alone, had a small chat, and quickly agreed to terms. So, while Vince still has the final say over the main event stuff just as he did with Edge, he's relinquishing a lot of power to Mr. Levesque.


    Strange thought as I typed in that last sentence, but I can just imagine HHH as a Mr. Levesque character 10 years from now with Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and XPac as his stooges.

    Dogg, Gunn and Pac would probably make pretty funny stooges right now.


    On a related note, X-Pac was on the Torch podcast last week and when he was asked who his favorite guy to wrestle was, he praised the single solitary match he had with Bret Hart, basically saying Hart gave Pac his best match ever. It's like Pac was trying to get in on the fun here at the BoD.

    The Analog Kid could be Sean Waltman's new indie gimmick.

    YYZ could be Jericho's new aerial finishing move (if he had one)

    2112 is when Dolph Ziggler next gets to win a match.

    Caress Of Steel is the new Conchairto. Or a description of getting a handjob from whichever of Luger's arms has the plate in it.

    Good point. I just went back and checked out that match-I hadn't watched it in a long time-and it actually holds up very well, much better than a lot of attitude era matches. For a change all the outside interference and general overbooking works to the matches advantage.

    I have seen Rush here in Pittsburgh four or five times and they never fail to talk about getting their start here... it is nice because it is not they typical "we drove in on I79" banter- it is genuine and real... they only other performer I can really remember actually talking specifically about Pittsburgh was Axl Rose who went on and on about how much he hated Terry Bradshaw because he lost money betting against the Steelers.

    Actually, I think "Losing It" would be a better explanation of Ziggler's run.


    Waltman's finisher would naturally be Kid Gloves.



    Swagger would be A Passage to Bangkok.


    Kerry von Erich actually was Tom Sawyer.


    I guess you could say that the 1st WM being at MSG was Vince's Manhattan Project.



    The theme for all the promoters would be Carnies.



    And of course, the theme for wrestling as a whole pre-VKM takeover would be... Territories.
