Why are people so fixated on this whole "Edge and Christian can't work a match" shit? Edge and Christian were probably two of the best workers in the WWE by this point. What exactly was so bad about their in ring work? Sure, they may have been a tad sloppy at times, but these were overall effective wrestlers in the ring, and were able to pull off many a victory due to their prowress. Sure, Bret may be able to wrestle one to the ground, but are you really going to tell me that Jim Neidhart is a better wrestler than either Edge or Christian, Shocky? I highly doubt it. And remember, it's not like we're dealing with mid 90s Bret, this is a Bret Hart that wasn't even close to the star he'd eventually become.

Again, The Hart Foundation were a great team, but Edge and Christian were a superstar team. This match definitely goes to them.

Nothing wrong with the in ring work of Edge and Christian, but as a tag team in a stand alone wrestling match minus the gimmicks, I doubt the credibility of their win loss record (I'm speaking in Kayfabe terms as i happen to enjoy Edge and christian both as a team and individuals). I seem to remember most of their success coming in gimmick matches, again, nothign wrong with that. Edge and Christian were a product of their generation, nothing more, nothing less. If this were a gimmick match, no doubt Edge and christian move on.

My personal opinion, the era that the Hart's wrestled in was the Golden Age of tag team wrestling, Edge and Christian's the Silver Age. The Hart's are simply better at traditional tag team matches, which is what this match is. Hart may not be in his prime in this, but Edge and christian certainly weren't. In fact, the only person that was in their prime during their careers in this match would be Neidhart, and Neidhart was an excellent change of pace wrestler. Edge or Christian couldn't manage the power of Neidhart.

Difference of opinion, I suppose. I feel Edge and Christian's is gold, while The Harts wrestled in a silvaer age. Aside from The Harts, the Bulldogs, and Brain Busters, where are these great in ring workers? Demolition beat you down, they weren't technicians. Nothing against them, that's merely their gimmick. I don't see the appeal of either The Rougeau's, The Killer Bees, or The Rockers. I really just don't view them as good teams. The Conquistadors? The only time they've ever achieved fame was when Edge and Christian pulled their gimmick out, dusted it off, and did it themselves.

And they were still two of the top workers at that point, as well.

You mean slow as a sack of manuer? I'd agree with that. And of course that was Neidhart's height, because it's not like he went any further than this.

Neidhart always struck me as pretty much like Albert of T&A. And no matter how strong Albert was, Edge and Christian always pulled victories off on them. Strength is not an issue. If anything, Edge and Christian have the advantage over strength (The APA, the aforementioned T&A, Right to Censor)

I hope you're all happy. Now we've got to have a triple threat final. Well, it actually did happen during the first ever WrestleZone tournament so fuck it, why not? The two tag teams that have won the tournament before move through to the final, meaning we've got a 66% chance of a repeat winner.

I'm torn, even thought The Hart Foundation were two of the most popular wrestlers in the WWE, I like Edge and Christian more because they're my fav wrestlers. I will go with Edge and Christian.
