Word? So why did Matt sign with ROH?
Yeah there were until Christian's finances took a big hit with a few bad investments. Thus, him returning to the WWE for a better payday.
Matt was going to stay with the WWE until the end of his career, but his erratic online behavior (due to his addictions spiraling out of control) got him released in 2010.
Matt saying he's happy with TNA is some straight up "saving face" BS. Matt craves attention and needs a steady flow of income: the things WWE can bring.
Matt was ultraover due to Jeff and Lita. He was fizzing out during his initial solo run, hence why he was released after returning from his knee injury. With Cena and Orton on the rise, Edge was not getting overpushed. Matt's need to run his mouth launched the best phase of Edge's career.
No, the WWE didn't favor Edge. Vince only got behind Edge full force because Edge stepped up and delivered in a feud that should've never happened.
Blandy and RVD is not a good comparison because Blandy is a 3rd gen and WWE made (like Wyatt).
RVD was original ECW, so he had a big ass target on his back from the jump ( and getting busted with drugs help)
Christian got shytted on during his 2nd run because Vince seen hiom leaving for TNA is being un-loyal.
Zack Ryder committed the ultimate sin and paid the price: got over on his own
To ignore edge was a Vince pet project because edge had the exact aesthetics physically vkm finds to be the most marketable in a golden boy..this was known as far back as Christian being the better worker and getting the lhw title on arrival.
Just to appease edge and one of the reasons Christian was alwsy slighted.
As edge even knew Christian was the more talented worker in every aspect.
Edge was from day one a vkm pet project and every placement on the card.
Was from Vince elevating edge to get him in the spreadsheet as viable for a me spot.
This is from the early theme song made to be hogun like setup.
The look, the stable being created, smack down six, hogun, to matt/lita.
Even del Rio was ruined because of edge getting a precious mania title belt win.
There is no way to say edge was great enough worker in any capacity.
Past manipulation of his card and draw placement.
Edge was out in his spot, and one of the few wwf choices.
were they let you have a choice whether you like him or not.
All to cover up the fact they pushed him so he would be liked, past oversaturation and numbers.
