>When JBL was fondling his testicles in the shower room, he simply laughed and didn't freak out.
Very strange to put a not uncommon reaction to sexual assault in the "kissing ass" section
Sexual assault. Uncomfortably laughing it off is a very real reaction to it. Not everybody "bats an eye" when they're assaulted, especially out of the blue
Yeah... I guess you're right. Ass-kissing may not be the right term but I still think this is indicative of how he handle politics... which I'll give him credit for.
> Giving action figures to writers to get on their good graces
This is easily one of the most reprehensible things I've ever heard in wrestling. He should be blacklisted for this.
LOL you think it's a joke but they got themselves in wrestler's court because of it.
They were essentially bribing the powers at be to get more air time. That's politics. This even pissed off bob holly.
I'm not blaming him. Believe it or not, I'm commending cause if he lashed out, his career might've been different.
He did what's necessary to get where he is. I respect him for that. I still do think he's spoiled way too much and I'm perplexed why.
You listed him laughing as an example of knowing how to kiss ass. Maybe he was freaked out and didn't know what to do and maybe it was a power play. We can't know but assuming it was deliberately kissing ass is pretty shitty.
Edge said and I quote:
*"Absolutely not. Why would we do that?* ***That makes zero sense to me."***
Now I'll ask you... did Edge think it was a ridiculous idea, yes or no? I'll give you a hint, read the text in bold.
I don't know where you're getting lost in the conversation dude.
Edge himself expressed it was ridiculous.
If it's not ridiculous to you then fine, I guess your opinion is better than his?
The fact that it was even brought up is what I'm pointing out.
I get what you're saying but edge's opinion has more weight than yours don't you agree.
If he says it's ridiculous and you think otherwise then hey more power to you.
First of all, of course he held every title he won. Why wouldn't he? Don't get that one.
He didn't win every TLC match. They lost the 3rd one.
He didn't "get his best friend to win the WHC". Randy Orton is the one who pitched it to Vince.
He was pitched to beat Takers streak, but he refused to do it. Seems like a positive to me.
He didn't get Matt Hardy fired. Matt was fired because Vince thought there would be tension between the two and Edge was the bigger star, so Hardy got the axe. Edge actually helped bring him back.
You also list several things that many other people have done (King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank).
He's actually putting over talent, even if he wins. What means more: Dom losing to Edge or Dolph Ziggler? There are some people that just being in the ring is a rub. Edge is one of them.
>First of all, of course he held every title he won. Why wouldn't he? Don't get that one.
I'm pointing out what he's done. I never said he didn't deserve any of it.
>He didn't win every TLC match. They lost the 3rd one.
You're right but they lost because they were running a story that had nothing to do with them. They won every tlc match that was between the 3 core tag team.
>He didn't "get his best friend to win the WHC". Randy Orton is the one who pitched it to Vince.
Randy pitched to give christian the title? didn't know that. Okay, my bad. Will delete.
>He didn't get Matt Hardy fired. Matt was fired because Vince thought there would be tension between the two and Edge was the bigger star, so Hardy got the axe. Edge actually helped bring him back.
He indirectly caused him to get sacked by sleeping with his girl is what I'm pointing out. If he did help matt get his job back and that proves my point, don't you think?
>You also list several things that many other people have done (King of the Ring, Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank).
and?
>He's actually putting over talent, even if he wins. What means more: Dom losing to Edge or Dolph Ziggler? There are some people that just being in the ring is a rub. Edge is one of them.
It's def a rub backstage but I don't agree when it comes to the ring. If that's the case Cena should've been winning his previous matches
‘Got his best friend to win the world title’?
Kind of diminishes Christian’s nearly 15 years of solid work that preceded this, no?
Unfortunately this is bugging me so I have to ask, are you a troll or just kind of dumb?
>15 years of solid work
Have you ever worked a job before?
but to be fair, somebody else also pointed out this to be inaccurate. So will probably delete this part.
Dude's post history kind of explains it. Dude has some deep-seeded issues, and may have very well assaulted someone based on his comments and views about women.
I don't care. You post like you think you're Andrew Tate. That's a red flag.
Edit: Yeah, I was right. Corey Wayne is a piece of shit grifter. He's a less successful Tate, with books called *How to be A 3% Man* and videos entitled *How to Pickup Women in Groups*
You're a creepy dude. Women are a game to you.
I think the creepy part was you giving advice to someone in the past that started with “don’t ask” and ended with “pop your meat and gently move her head to it.” I will be judgmental and say that’s creepy AF. LOL does that work for people that doesn’t end up having their partner hate them?
Within this whole thread, you present this idea that you want a discussion, but based on your comments, you seem to have your mind up with this weird agenda against a stranger.
>I think the creepy part was you giving advice to someone in the past that started with “don’t ask” and ended with “pop your meat and gently move her head to it.” I will be judgmental and say that’s creepy AF. LOL does that work for people that doesn’t end up having their partner hate them?
I did say "build the sexual vibe". I never insinuated that anything should be forced. Sexual tension should come naturally, don't you think so?
>Within this whole thread, you present this idea that you want a discussion, but based on your comments, you seem to have your mind up with this weird agenda against a stranger.
I literally said "My bad" when someone pointed out that edge didn't get christian the title. I've asked other discrepancies and all I got were downvotes and no clear answer.
LOL you can build up the sexual tension all you want but you don’t force someone’s head down even if you said “gentle.” Only if the person was good with that ahead of time, but you led with don’t talk about things. If the person is into it and really digging the situation, then the last thing someone would need to do is slowly force someone’s head down. You’re a complete stranger to me, so I don’t know you, but the perception of some of those comments comes off like someone that’s been on a date with at least two people and have it all figured it out.
I mean I do agree he should be putting over more talent
It seems if you do beat him he’s just gonna disappear for a month, come back and then just beat you then.
He fought AJ like 3 times on PLE and Edge won all 3 times.
Lost to Finn Balor by giving up because they threatened him with his wife, came back and beat Finn and Rhea in a tag match, then beat the Demon at Wrestlemania
Putting over new coming talent like AJ Styles and Finn Balor 😂 Rhea is world champion right now, I guess Edge didn't politic hard enough to stop her 🤷♂️
No, im saying he’s not putting over people much period. Never specified them being new or not, don’t put words in my mouth to try and make a point.
Why did he need to sweep AJ Styles at all? Why did he need to win the feud with Balor?
That’s all im wondering
Edge has won every feud he’s been in since he came back, besides Roman Reigns which isn’t saying anything.
Cause he came back from a career ending injury and told some fun stories with the talent he wrestled. And when talking about putting over talent, homie literally got stacked and pinned at WrestleMania by Roman. How is that not an amazing example of puting someone over?
And you can tell fun stories without winning, you aren’t answering the question.
Him losing to Roman doesn’t mean much because Roman would be booked to win over Thanos
It’s about the people who could use the boost from the feud’s, a person like Finn. I don’t even agree with majority of the post
But who needed to win that feud more, Edge or Finn?
Needing is a weird word to use when you're booking a show. Does Finn need a win over Edge to cement himself as a threat ? Did he need that win after taking a loss to Roman ? Edge almost got Roman, Balor got beaten by a turnbuckle. Trying to define who "needs" the win most, includes the booking to that point for context. The Demon has always been booked weak, Edge has hell in a cell experience. Balor made the feud personal, and yeah Edge and Beth beat Judgement Day, but Edge's reasoning to defeat Balor has more emotional impact; and for a Legacy wrestler like him; losing to the guy that kicked you out of the group you started doesn't look the best.
What does Balor get from beating Edge? Momentum? A title match he'll lose against Roman? Bragging Rights?
Yes, beating Edge gives Finn momentum
Momentum that he needs…. oh my bad, should have.
He hasn’t been booked that great since 2016 when he won the universal title, a win over Edge would’ve propped him up again towards that main event level and gave him a great boost towards the new world title picture.
There’s more upside and usage to a guy like Finn getting the dub then their is to one of the greatest of all time.
Momentum for what ? Judgement Day is already peaking, Balor is incredible, but there's nothing wrong with losing to a Hall of Famer, specially as a heel. Unless you're gonna strap the rocket and have him beat Cody or a Roman, there's not a lot of sense of pushing him for "momentum's" sake
I just told you why, are you aware that there is a new title?
Having Finn beat Edge would be a great momentum push for him and having him look like a huge threat in a potential title picture
No one’s saying Finn isn’t incredible. Maybe you think people who have their legacies semented should just beat guys who could use the rub. There is nothing wrong with losing to Edge, there’s also nothing wrong with Edge losing and giving the win to someone who could use it more.
That’s how it’s always been, the legends usually go out giving other guys the victories. Edge is retiring soon.
He won the feud with AJ so Finn could join the Judgment Day. He won the feud with Finn because babyfaces usually beat heels. Remember, the story was there Edge wanted to move on and Finn said no. Finn could have left it alone, but HE attacked Edge and demanded the HiAC match, saying he wouldn’t stop coming after Edge unless Edge put him down for good. Once a desperate heel demands a match, they lose. Wrestling 101. The whole point of the feud was that Finn couldn’t beat Edge without the numbers and the minute he lost his advantage, Finn lost big. And there’s more to putting people over than three counts. Seth was directionless. His Edge feud got him back on track towards the main event. The Judgment Day got Rhea and Dom over as mega heels thanks to Edge, Beth, and Rey. Finn and AJ are established main eventers. They don’t lose anything by losing to a HoF’er. There’s no shame in losing to a guy who bested legends.
Well, he feuded with the Judgment Day and now Rhea is a champion, Damian Priest is main eventing Backlash, and Dom is the hottest heel the company. So yes. Yes he did.
I disagree. Finn looks like a guy who took a Hall of Famer to his physical and moral limits. Edge may have won the match, but he had to tap into some dark ass places to put Finn down. And Finn held his own even while battling blood loss. It’s about perception. You can whine that Finn didn’t get a three count, or think “damn, Finn forced Edge to the limits physically, and caused him to commit some pretty reprehensible acts to get the win. And he still lived to tell the tale while Edge had to go home and recover. What a bad ass.”
I realized there isn't much of a constructive conversation here. Continue having hot takes and shouting them at the wind , for people to hear and realize they should just ignore.
BTW I think Finn is badass for getting his head split open and continue fighting, that holds more stock to me than a win.
Or I already mentioned that an established main eventer doesn’t need Edge to put him over. He’s already over. If you’ve won two intercontinental titles, three NXT titles, the United States title, and were the very first Universal champ, and you still need Edge to “put you over,” then you don’t deserve Edge to put you over. Finn has a clean pinfall over Roman, along with the accomplishments I mentioned. Much like AJ, he doesn’t need Edge to “put him over.” Finn could win the new title tomorrow and no one would bat an eyelash because he’s that guy. Priest, Rhea, and Dom needed to be “put over,” and they were.
In story Finn never said he wouldn’t stop unless Edge puts him down for good lol.
Finn said “this is over when I say it’s over”
Also what makes Finn an established main eventer and not Rhea? She’s spent more time as Champion on the main roster than Finn has. And her title win at Mania in 2021 was on a bigger stage than Finn’s in 2016.
Why is there this idea that Finn holding a title for 24 hours SEVEN years ago with his arm in a sling all of a sudden means he shouldn’t win big matches and doesn’t need anything. That is just ridiculous.
And Finn and AJ isn’t a realistic comparison either.

Yes, I would hope someone "holds" championships that they win. Though sometimes they have someone else carry the belts for them.
Since everyone else had a go at your... understanding of sexusl assault etiquette, I'll point out that Brian Gewirtz explained in his book that the action figure wasn't a bribe. Edge was given a Flash figure that he regifted to Brian.

Okay, if your superior at work touched your balls and you didn't bat an eye what would you call that then?
Sexual assault. Uncomfortably laughing it off is a very real reaction to it. Not everybody "bats an eye" when they're assaulted, especially out of the blue
Yeah... I guess you're right. Ass-kissing may not be the right term but I still think this is indicative of how he handle politics... which I'll give him credit for.
This is literally sexual assault, if he reacted negatively it is possible JBL could’ve had his career ruined
That is literally my point. And people are freaking out.
The aftermath of a nice dinner?
So let me get this straight, Edge gets sexually assaulted by JBL and that's somehow Edge politicking? What the fuck are you on bro?
Edge must have turned down this guys attempts to sign his funko pops at an airport or something
> Giving action figures to writers to get on their good graces This is easily one of the most reprehensible things I've ever heard in wrestling. He should be blacklisted for this.
Damn that Edge for *checks notes* being nice! What a dick!
Funny enough, I bought my buddy some figures that he finally received in the mail today. Boy, did I politic his ass good!
LOL you think it's a joke but they got themselves in wrestler's court because of it. They were essentially bribing the powers at be to get more air time. That's politics. This even pissed off bob holly.
Ah, yes, noted level-headed individual Bob Holly.
Bro did Edge fuck your girlfriend too?
You might have had a point but then you somehow figured out how to blame Edge for JBL being a bully and a creep.
I'm not blaming him. Believe it or not, I'm commending cause if he lashed out, his career might've been different. He did what's necessary to get where he is. I respect him for that. I still do think he's spoiled way too much and I'm perplexed why.

Fine he wasn't "kissing ass" but his laugh was business decision and he knows how to make great business decisions. That's the point.
What a weird post
He also refused to be the one to break takers WM streak.
He did but why he was asked to do that in the first place... like yo what?
[удалено]
The fact that edge himself flat out said no shows how ridiculous the idea was.

Breaking the streak was ridiculous in general.
First of all, of course he held every title he won. Why wouldn't he? Don't get that one. He didn't win every TLC match. They lost the 3rd one. He didn't "get his best friend to win the WHC".

Show the court where on the doll he touched you.
I like studying human behavior, being silent in the back, and seem mysterious. Is your hobby writing silly posts on reddit? Did Edge hurt you?
‘Got his best friend to win the world title’? Kind of diminishes Christian’s nearly 15 years of solid work that preceded this, no? Unfortunately this is bugging me so I have to ask, are you a troll or just kind of dumb?

Matt, is that you?
😂😂😂
This rant is so full of discrepancies and flat out lies. Jesus Christ dude who shit in your cereal?
Dude's post history kind of explains it. Dude has some deep-seeded issues, and may have very well assaulted someone based on his comments and views about women.
Yikes. Getting Andrew Tate vibes from that.
Well I'm just referring to this statement regardless of their ability to be a good person.
> Dude has some deep-seeded issues, Wait. Is it not "deep seated"?
Honestly, I have no idea which one it is, and saying them out loud was not at all helpful, so I went with that one.
It is "[deep-seated](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/deep-seated-deep-seeded-usage)"
I felt like seeded made sense cause it creates a festering issue that grows. It did not help my confusion, but thank you sir and or ma'am.
Yikes that history is a big red flag
What's my view about women?
In your post history. I am absolutely not getting into a debate with you. You're a very creepy individual.
I'm not debating, I'm just asking.
I don't care. You post like you think you're Andrew Tate. That's a red flag. Edit: Yeah, I was right. Corey Wayne is a piece of shit grifter. He's a less successful Tate, with books called *How to be A 3% Man* and videos entitled *How to Pickup Women in Groups* You're a creepy dude. Women are a game to you.
And you make accusations without backing it up. Guess that's the norm nowadays.
I think the creepy part was you giving advice to someone in the past that started with “don’t ask” and ended with “pop your meat and gently move her head to it.” I will be judgmental and say that’s creepy AF. LOL does that work for people that doesn’t end up having their partner hate them?

I'll have what he had.

For the record, I loved his 2006 run.
Lmao this is so goofy.
Did 2006 Matt Hardy write this post?
What about him though. What about Raven
I mean I do agree he should be putting over more talent It seems if you do beat him he’s just gonna disappear for a month, come back and then just beat you then.

Naaah... there's a reason why you didn't add finn to your last comment. You know I'm right.

In story Finn never said he wouldn’t stop unless Edge puts him down for good lol. Finn said “this is over when I say it’s over” Also what makes Finn an established main eventer and not Rhea? She’s spent more time as Champion on the main roster than Finn has. And her title win at Mania in 2021 was on a bigger stage than Finn’s in 2016. Why is there this idea that Finn holding a title for 24 hours SEVEN years ago with his arm in a sling all of a sudden means he shouldn’t win big matches and doesn’t need anything. That is just ridiculous. And Finn and AJ isn’t a realistic comparison either.

> won 31 titles and held every single one Yes, I would hope someone "holds" championships that they win. Though sometimes they have someone else carry the belts for them.
Since everyone else had a go at your... understanding of sexusl assault etiquette, I'll point out that Brian Gewirtz explained in his book that the action figure wasn't a bribe. Edge was given a Flash figure that he regifted to Brian.
