More WWE news!
- Edge has been banged up recently, which is why he wasn't set for a match at The Bash on Sunday. In a recent interview, he discusses his recent matches, including the ladder match with Jeff Hardy, stating: "That one really took it out of me. Ten years ago if we did that match you know maybe in a few days we would have felt a lot better. We were 10 years younger though. Now, it took me almost a full week before I could walk upright. It took a while to recuperate from that one." [Credit: Pwinsider.com]

Poor Edge, he has really done a lot of impact hitting matches throughout his career in the WWE.
Hopefully he continues to rest up, mostly as he's the reason I want to get into wrestling.

Edge's health is one reason I don't like him with the TT belt. The extra travel and work can't be doing him any good. There is maximizing your assets and burning them out. WWE needs to freshen its main event scene, but not through injuries.

Looks like they're not going to bother showing the Attitude Era Monday Night Wars. Good.
Considering they've been editing everything to shit lately because of the PG thing, I'd rather not relive them then to hear Austin and D-X bleeped every five seconds, watch bloodshed in gray screen, see all Benoit footage edited out, and in a few months, deal with blurred "WWF" scratch logos.
Besides, the less programming we're forced to watch that's hosted by Michael "Don't Ask Me How I've Kept My Job for 11+ Years Despite Showing No Improvement" Cole, the better.

Poor Edge! I hope nothing serious happens to him with all these dangerous matches he's involved in.

Everything about your post is 100% awesome. Especially 1) using the term "mad pussy" and a) naming yourself Ted Arcidi's Singlet.

My big fear when I hear something like that from a top star is that to stay on top, they might turn to medications too much to heal faster. I am not in anyways saying Edge has a drug problem but, I do hope that he is smart enough to slow it down when needed. Maybe having him and Jericho share TT gold is a way to keep him active but put less pressure on him.
The man is really the charachter that is anyway interesting in the WWE. hopefully they don't burn him out.

It's not really that much more travel and being in tag matches means he (and Jericho) would be wrestling less.

@ Jason S:
WWEClassics DOT COM, motherfucker. The Monday Night War is still alive and well On Demand. I know it's an honest mistake, but when you go off on a whiney bitch tangent like that FOR NO REASON, well...you ingratiate yourself to nobody.
Besides, they don't even update that shit until Tuesday nights.
Posted By: The REAL MP (Guest) on June 30, 2009 at 03:50 PM
Jason S, that listing is for WWEClassics.com, not Classics On Demand.
And while I agree that the editing is getting pretty annoying, the Monday Night Wars is the only reason I subscribe to that channel. Now that WWE is re-running episodes from 1995, and only showing the 1998 episodes once a month (if that), I'm very, very close to cancelling.

We can tell by your constant commenting on the internet.
You must be a REAL athlete!

First, you are talking about WWE CLASSICS ON DEMAND and not WWECLASICS.COM!!
Second, if it's sooooooo bad, then just cancel you whiney bitch!!
How old are you??
Seriously.

Hey, if you dont mind me putting my two cents in.
I have WWECLASSICS.com and it's a really great service. They archive all their matches and shows. So I'm paying $39.95 a year for over 200 hours of new wrestling a year.
Plus I go to their WWE Universe site and they actually got people who work on the service who reply to all your questions. That is pretty much non-existent anywhere else in WWE and TNA.
Seriously instead of arguing just check the site out. I really reccomend it.
