So you basically took what I said and applied it to yourself? Congratulations Captain Original. Whenever you want to not parody other peoples post in an attempt to seem somewhat intelligent in what you are speaking about, don't try it with me of all people, cause you simply won't win.
I didn't say I was more of a fan or more knowledgeable about a wrestler, did I? Want to re-read my post there, Captain Hindsight? Cause if you read it was making the observation that he didn't even watch when Edge was originally injured. However, I do know I have more knowledge than him because he doesn't have a clue about Edge, same way I can prove you don't have a clue about the injury Edge has and have commented rashly on it. So allow me to correct your wrongs.
Shawn Michaels didn't have spinal stenosis in three discs in his spine. I know somebody that suffers from it and guess what? It barely heals when you have it in one disc or simply have it going down the cord itself, so no, Edge can take six years off, he still won't have another wrestling match. Shawn Michaels isn't a legitimate comparison.
Bret Hart suffered two strokes before he got back in the ring actually, you know, when he had that match with Vince McMahon where we knew he couldn't take a bump because of the fact he has suffered a couple strokes. So once again, Bret doesn't count because he didn't actually wrestle a full match, he more-so told a story.
Austin doesn't suffer from spinal stenosis either and Mick Foley has never had a career threatening injury. Read his book and you would know that, see that's how I'm more knowledgeable than you, I know my stuff where as you're throwing out random examples. And JBL was hurting all over but it wasn't due to broken bones or something where your spinal cord can whither away, become weak and frail in a matter of years and leave you paralyzed from the neck down. That's why Edge can't wrestle, once again, I know all of this and I'm not even an overly big fan of his. I think Christian has always been better.
I also saw you thrash Ric Flair? Dude, you have came to the wrong forum. Not only am I a huge Ric Flair fan and appreciate and respect everything he does for the business, I am also more-or-less the leader of believers on this here forum that believe he should keep doing what he is doing because he is a good 10x more entertaining than most of the young guys coming through these days. So watch whose shoes you tread on.
1-Obviously you are far from the intelligence you try to project if you didn't realise that I was poking fun at your assertion that the poster you quoted was less of a fan and therefore less knowledgeable about wrestling and health then you are because you have watched wrestling longer then him.
2-What does watching Edge and the original injury have to do with having a clue about who Edge is. Unless you are a member of the WWE roster/staff or one of his family you don't know him any better then any one else on the forums. As for not knowing about the injury, of course I don't know anything about it. I never mention a specific injury anyway. I was talking about generic injuries that others have had and were able to come back from. I realise that this isn't going to happen for Edge.
3-While Shawn might not be a completely pure comparison, you actually brought up a better one. Bret did return and had some matches, very limited true but he did some back.
4-I have read all for Foley's books. Reading a book doesn't mean that you know more about a subject that has nothing to do with the material in the book.
5-You come right out and say that you know more about this than others simply because you read non related books and 'know' someone who has the condition edge has. Yet you also claim you never said you never stated you were more knowledgeable than others. You called me Captain Obvious so that must make you Commander Hypocrite?
6-Flair IS over-rated. His one true talent was being able to work the crowd, with some minor in ring skills. Chop, "WHOOO", fall off top rope, stagger fall faceplant, lowblow, figure-4. That's pretty much all he ever did. I do accept that he could as I stated work a crowd and get a reaction, but his in ring work was only slightly superior to Hogan's. And don't fool yourself, it was the outside popularity and backstage politics that made both of those guys more then anything they could do in the ring.
7-Like so many others, you completely ignore the point of the original thread. Which was how far Edge could have gone if he wasn't forced to retire by his injuries, either the final one or his combined injuries.
) matters to these people.
