How would you book an Edge vs. Christian feud?

Ive seen enough of the title being thrown into the picture, this feud DOES NOT NEED A TITLE! They already have so much history it doesnt need to be built around a belt, save the championship for people who have a harder time finding something to feud over.

WARNING!!!!!! THIS POST IS LOOOOONNNNGGGGGGG. If you skip it I totally understand but I do believe it is very good, and if you would like to read I would really appreciate any feedback you'd like to give

as seen on smackdown the fuse has already been lit. Edge heel turns on Christian, they had some interaction, Christian got the better and they part ways. For the next few months there should be some mention of E vs C with little jabs here and there. Within those few months, say May-August (summerslam) Christian works his way through a decent feud for the WHC with Swagger. They mention ECW history, etc etc. Summerslam comes and to commemorate their days in ECW its an extreme match. Near the end Edge costs him the match.

Raw the next night Edge cuts a promo saying how Christian will never be as good as him and he will never win a world title. They stay on separate shows to keep their feud building while not coming in contact, but every now and then throwing little jabs at eachother a few times a month such as mentioning one another in a negative way during a promo about their current program.

this keeps going for a few more months, on the ppvs they have some interactions such as Edge making sure Christian doesnt win a multi-man hell in a cell match for the title, could have it as a four man match, everyone hits their finisher with Christian about to hit his when Edge comes out of nowhere and spears him. Christian can screw Edge over later in the night as well. One of the main points here is that Christian gets some shots at a world title but they are all unfairly taken away by Edge. Maybe even something where an official gets paid off by Edge to screw Christian over in a match or having his number one contendership taken away.

Bragging rights in october- smackdown vs raw has the first real match with Edge and Christian fighting eachother. Im not sure what the ppv schedule is like for the next 2 months but as the year goes on things continue to build and build. Then the rumble.

Christian comes in around number 8 or so and lasts for a long time. Edge comes in at say, 27. They meet in the ring with Edge getting the better of Christian. Edge hits Christian with his faceplant ddt move and goes to the corner as Christian is getting up near the ropes. Edge looks like he's setting up for the spear. As Edge runs toward him, Christian pulls the top rope down and Edge goes sailing over the top. Immediately after Edge pulls Christian out of the ring, beats on him a little bit, whips him into the steps and spears him into the steps. Then he gets a chair, puts Christians head on the steps and does the one man conchairto. Christian, playing dead (not literally of course but for all intents and purposes), is rolled back into the ring by Edge and gets sloppily dumped over the top rope. Christian lays on the floor a while and is helped to the back. After this Christian is not seen for a week. On raw the next night Edge talks about how he thwarted Christian's opportunity to get another shot at a world title, and that Edge is not only the ultimate opportunist, but the ultimate unopportunist as well.

That next monday he comes back and attacks Edge backstage and beats him down pretty bad. On smackdown the same week Christian cuts a promo on everything thats happened between them and says he wants a match with Edge. Christian then explains that Teddy long set up a camera for Edge to appear on the tron. Edge comes on the tron, they go back and forth with Edge eventually saying he wants a tag match because Edge carried E&C and he wanted to show that he is not just a better wrestler but the better of the two in the type of match that made them famous. Christian retorts that Edge is scared to face him one one one but eventually accepts.

They build to the ppv before mania (elimination chamber) with a tag match where E&C pick partners who are also feuding toward mania, but are not as over as E&C. Good tag match, E&C come in hot, boom boom boom. To further the feud between E&C's partners, the heel partner sneaks under the ring, comes up on the other side and grabs the face partner's boot laces (which are worked to become untied during the match) to the bottom rope. The face partner doesnt notice because he is leaning over the top rope watching the rest of the match with great anticipation. Right after, the heel partner crawls back under the ring to his own side. Edge hits Christian with a big move and leaves the ring. Edge grabs some foreign object. He comes in to hit Christian with it and the ref grabs it out of his hands. As this is going on the face partner tries to get into the ring to realize he is tied to the bottom rope. He calls the ref over to see and the ref drops the weapon as he goes over. As the ref and the face partner try to untie the laces Christian gets the advantage. As it looks like Christian is going to hit the killswitch the heel partner hits Christian with the weapon and throws it out of the ring. Then the heel partner rushes around to the face partner and bumps him off the apron so he is hanging upside down by one leg. At the same time Edge sets Christian up and hits him with the spear. During this time the ref is looking back and forth at everything. Edge goes for the cover. The ref, knowing that the heel and face partners should not be fighting on the outside goes with his best judgement and just goes over to the two legal guys in the ring. 1-2-3, Edge and his partner win.

Christian comes on raw the next night and has an in ring promo. He explains all the crap that went on that night and says that proves he was right and that Edge is truly a coward. Edge comes out on the entranceway to talk to Christian (keeping his distance). They go back and forth and Edge leaves saying he has nothing more to prove. There are a few segments through the night where Edge gets scared by a Christian picture on a spring thats loaded inside his locker, a telegram comes for Edge (who comments on the stupidity and obsolitess of telegrams) where the telegram guy reads it for him so he clears his throat and SCREAMS at Edge to scare him then says it was from a guy named Christian, and a Christian life size cut out waiting for Edge when he comes out of his locker room to scare him as well. Edge snaps and rips the cut out to shreds.

On smackdown that week Edge assaults Christian during a match and afterward tells him on the mic that he wants him at mania.

The next raw Christian has another in ring promo. He says enough is enough (and its time for a change, lol) and this back and forth between the two has to end. Its too much on either man to keep this up and they should talk like civilized people. Edge comes out, mic in hand (again only to the ramp) and says lets talk. they go on for a bit about what has transpired and all the history theyve had together over the past year and even throughout their entire careers. They almost get a little nostalgic talking about those times and they seem like they are almost getting along again, talking about great things the other did then. Edge gets closer and closer and then enters the ring. It looks like their feud never happened. Then the topic of their amazing TLC matches come up. They go on about that for a bit when Christian says Im glad that came up. we revolutionized this business with matches like that we did it all and we did it all together. (then things get serious again) he then says Thats why I want another, I want YOU one on one in a TLC match. He goes on to explain that there are no belts on the line to hang up, but what is at the top of the ladder is something more. Its pride. Its honor. Its dignity. Its everything that proves once and for all who is the best. It gets decided, TLC at mania. Then as Edge is about to leave he rushes to spear Christian who puts up a knee and tries to hook the killswitch. Edge escapes and leaves the ring (basically the same thing they did on the 4/30 smackdown. As far as what actually gets hung up above the ring, I have no idea, if anyone wants to give me feedback and has an idea about it lets hear it.

The next few weeks they continue to play mindgames with eachother and build their feud more but now there seems to be a little more respect between the two, not much at all, but slight slight hints, ie no cheap attacks behind the back. There could still be attacks but theyd all be head on.

Mania- they have a great TLC match, Christian, being the face in all this and probably needing more of a push than Edge, wins the match. After all is said and done they have a staredown in the ring, Edge extends his hand, and Christian accepts. No attacks after, just a handshake. I'd like that to lead to an eventual Edge face turn and the return of Edge and Christian as a tag team the next year. They win the tag titles, hold them for a while then lose them. After that Christian still goes after a world title and Edge, while still wanting gold for himself, still stays aligned with Christian and is pulling for him to get one. Christian eventually does. Id explain all of that in more depth but this thread is the EvsC feud.

Sorry about the friggin novel i just wrote lol but i wanted to get all my thoughts down. If anyone has any comments, criticisms or praises please let me know.
 
Someone was onto something with a previous post with Edge winning MIB and having Christian cost him when he cashes in. I think it would be better to work it the other way around. Christian has been a mainstay in MIB matches. Have Christian win the whole thing and work the slow build up from there. No quickly cashing it in like Swagger. Have him hold on to it...for months.

Then, after a couple months of this (with Christian getting a decend push and battling with the other big-guns on Smackdown) you can have Edge start to get on him for not cashing in. "What, are you afraid you will be the first to lose with the briefcase". Have that go for a while before Christian is almost forced to cash it in (to prove Edge wrong)and he does it a couple months before Wrestlemania 27. Edge then costs him that match. An immediate match would be set up between the two, likely on the Raw after Christian fails to cash in his chance. Edge wins the match via DQ, which leads to another match at the next PPV. Again, Edge wins via DQ or something else "heel-like", constantly hammering Christian with "not only did you fail to cash in on MIB, but you will never beat me....". Ultimately ends with a TLC match at WM 27.

I think it would work, but it would need move slowly.
 
Here we go! Finally a thread that I enjoy!
I've been thinking of this for some time now...Edge and Christian. Here's how I would LOVE for it to go down. I've seen where people are working in the MITB as a possible angle. It seems like everyone is fixed on having either E or C win the briefcase. Well what if it went a different way.

What if before the MITB match takes place E & C have a run in backstage where Edge says something like "Goodluck..you're going to need it! I guess it's true what they say..One brother is always better than the other". Christian hears this and replies with a "Yeah well at least when I win a championship I don't LOSE it by the next PPV". Then the match progresses. Christian is almost to the top, then suddenly out of no where Edge comes from the back or even the crowd, spearing Christian off of the ladder and costing him his chance at the WHC/WWE Championship.

From there we have a memorable series of cross brand interviews. Christian showing up to find that Edge "isn't in the building tonight". This of course is because Edge is the heel and Christian the face. Then we hit the next separate brand PPVs. Edge's music hits, but no Edge. But that distracts Christian enough to cost him his match. This from there causes Christian to show up on Raw and attempt to get revenge on Edge. Then just when it looks like the 2 are going to go at it, Edge flees. This of course will only work several times as after a while the fans will get tired of this and it will become too predictable. So after a month or so of Edge avoiding Christian we get a tag match. Edge pulls the typical heel maneuvers and avoids facing Christian at all costs. Tag match ends with Edge holding the tights, or using a foreign object on Christian to get the win. From there the struggle continues. We have Christian demanding to face Edge.

Edge at this point can call upon the help of some heels (perhaps slightly reforming his old "family" stable). This would allow Edge to say "Hey Christian, you want to face me? You have to get through my "familia" first. The feud continues for a good solid 3-4 months until we get to the Royal Rumble. Of course we all know the story there. Edge or Christian gets eliminated, the other makes it to the final 4 before the other comes back and screws em out of it. Then with the following PPV being Elimination Chamber they don't essentially NEED any physical interaction as they both could be pitted in the EC matches for their respective shows. However to increase the drama you could have Edge brutally attack Christian before his match and make it so Christian can't even participate in the EC match. Thus sending the feud into the final stages. Leading up to WM 27! Now I don't think this match should just be ANY match. I don't even think a TLC match itself would do this justice. I'm thinking... 2 out of 3 falls!
1st fall: Hardcore match!
2nd fall: Steel Cage match!
3rd fall (if necessary..and we all know it will be): TLC match!

why those matches? Because this is the end all be all of the feud and if you want to give it the end of a feud feeling. That's the best way!
 
Simple; they start on opposite sides at Bragging Right. Christian is IC champion. Have Christian beaten up to set the hot with Edge being the main punisher. Just as Christian gets the hot tag, Edge takes him out the ring and just destroys him. Chairs and ladders. This puts Christian at a disadvantage for the next SD where he loses his IC title to an up and coming challenger after Edge interferes again.

This sets up a match on PPV which Christian wins by DQ after Edge tricks him and the ref into giving the wrong call.

In the meantime, Christian is pushed into the world title scene with an incredible of wins going into the Rumble.

Give Christian a great Rumble showing, a low number like 1-5 and make him survive everything. Edge is eliminated last after coming in at 30. In the meantime Edge has a World title match at the Rumble (before the Rumble obviously) and wins despite Christian's presence.

They tangle in an EC match and Edge wins, going into 'Mania as champion with a dirty victory. Christian has another good showing but gets double teamed by three or four heels and eliminated.

This would be when he announces his WM match. They are banned from contact going upto 'Mania but Edge ensure it becomes a No DQ match after refusing Christian's challenge of a Ladder match.

Christian wins at Mania, defends in a Ladder match and eventually, they have a TLC match at Summerslam.
 
id love to see this feud....but sadly i dont think its going to be at Wrestlemania. In my world Christian would have stayed on RAW....Him and Edge reunite and get the tag belts....then Edge turns on Christian once they lose them and it sparks the feud to possibly culminate at SummerSlam.
