[Official] Edge Injured Thread

[Derf]

I love the fact that the WHC is now in the hands of an unstopable giant. I agree with whoever said we needed a giant champion. Plus, can you imagine if it's somehow a 3 way match at the GAB with Batista AND kane? We might have a Kahli match that exceds 5 minutes! And having three of the biggest former world champions currently in the WWE fighting for the World Heavyweight championship is just cool and amazing from a kaybafe point of view.

John Cena ain't got nothing on this three way rivalry if it happens.

this is not fair, mark henry is a veteran in this company and had destroy many great superstar like batista, rey mysterio, kane..... so y not him but khali

There both terrible wrestlers. But Khali has the height factor. He's more over. He's just come off a high profile feud with Cena. Henry hasn't been pushed that hard since his return. He was Sexual Chocolate. And he'll probably be injured again in a few weeks.

 

[mabuza]

This is a classic case of HHH-Fuckup.Kennedy's never going to be WHC ever...He was a shoe-in to be champ by fueding with Edge,but our buddy HHH wants all the top heels on RAW so he can put himself over.

 

[Downward Spiral]

SmackDown has officially hit rock bottom. Could things get any worse right now for them. And yes, it seems to be all HHH's doing that their roster is so depleted. Let's feed a whole bunch of guys that got credibility on SmackDown, right into HHH and John Cena. Great career moves.

And to compound Edge, the one shining light in this brand, getting injured, we get this...this, thing as our champion (I will never, ever refer to the Great Khali as a wrestler.) On SmackDown, you can feel the emotion during his announcement. He begins crying, shedding tears that I believe, aren't acting tears. He hit the top of the company and was going to stay there, and another injury keeps him from that. It happened in 2003 or so when he was going for the title on SmackDown, and he had that broken neck. It's happened again, but thankfully, he's only out for 4 months and not a year. I can see the bright side, in that he gets some well-deserved time off to recuperate, but the dark, dark side is that we are 'treated' to 4 months of the Great Khali.

The only solution I can see to this whole Edge injury, is to send Kennedy and Booker back to SmackDown. They are already being shoved in the toilet on Raw, and they haven't even been there that long. Kennedy goes from winning Money In the Bank and facing guys like Undertaker, to feuding with Super Crazy, and losing in 5 second matches. Booker goes from holding the title, to jobbing to Cena and Lashley. This whole company is just going down the shitter. Even with all these new faces that should be SmackDown's, they are getting some really low ratings. Yes, it will improve when HHH gets back, but as I see it, when Raw has Cena, Booker, Kennedy, Orton, HHH, HBK and Lashley, and SD only had Edge, that shows signs that they don't care, and it's obvious. Now, Edge is gone, and SD slumps further. Are they ever going to wake up? God I am so sick of these injuries. Please, if this WHC curse is real, let Khali be severely, severely injured. Let him go back to movies, please. It's just beyond all comprehension. Damn it.

 

[Da Vinci's Nightmare]

SD is going down the drain.

I do feel sorry that since WM there champion has been injured and forced to drop the title twice. that is pretty crappy.

But why put it on Kahli's massive shoulders? (can't get a belt big enough t go round his waist!)

They could av dun what they did when big dave dudd relinquished the title an they had a battle royal, they brought over kurt wi out tellin ne1 an he won, why nt do that wi Mr Kennedy or someone like that, god even shelton benjamin or carlito, jus gi em a run till edge comes back?

Now wwe will av a problem with how do we take the belt of a 7+ ft man an make it look beleiveable? I know, we will make him slip on a banana skin an be so shocked some1 (i am thinkin rey) will sit on him for the 1-2-3

 

[edgehead44]

ill put it this way if khali has the belt maybe just maybe he will get his giant ass injured so that some one decent can wear the strap instead of that beastlky ingrown nail known as the great khali so khali shut ur big damn mouth and know ur f'in role as u can tell im a huge edge fan ive been in denail for a couple days its actually come to me that there is still 2 decent matches on the GAB card john morrison vs punk and hardy MVP sweet after that i will not watch the stupid WHC because now that smackdown has worst stars than ECW's up and comers what can we do(ps im 14 hatin cena, batista and khali, lashley can improve but he needs to talk more or get a manager like heyman)

You're damn right. I don't know about any of you, but I WAS MOVED when he talked. Damn', I'm sure he wasn't acting, it truly meant something for him. This guy has so much heart and he is so good a wrestler, that's really unfortunate.

I'm really curious to see what Vince is going to do with all of this. The big drop in the rating let him bad, he cursed at the writers, but HE IS the cause of all this IMO (well maybe with a little help of Triple H). I am a Smackdown fan, I prefered this show way more than Raw, but for christ sake, they're killing the show. I know the injury wasn't planned, but they didn't need to steal off all our talent like they did. Let's bring back Mr. Kennedy at least.

 

[Prax]

Maybe Edge just wanted to make you want to think that he was being that emotional, for affect a few minutes later when he aired that ridiculously heel-ish promo?

Maybe they were real. Maybe he thinks when he comes back he won't get another push because WWE doesn't trust him to stay healthy and be able to lead the company (frankly I wouldn't blame them).

Edge is awesome. If he hadn't gotten injured and received his main event push in 2003, we could very well be talking about him as the biggest thing out of this decade. We would've at least have had at least a handful of extra classic great matches to talk about.

It sucks, it truly does, but I'm afraid this latest injury might mean the end of the line for Edge as a world champion. Think about it. He comes back in November. By then, Undertaker, Triple H, Rey, possibly even HBK will be back. Jericho might even be nearing a return.

Assuming no one else gets injured, Edge is screwed. It sucks balls actually, but I mean if I was in Vince's position, I wouldn't trust another title run with Edge, he's been consistently inured throughout most of this decade.

 

[A.J.]

Now i want to be a little evil and see what others think. Now Edge has shown these last few year that he can be some what injury prone. Yes we know back in 2003 when he broke his neck but what about in 2005 when he was also injured for awhile late in the year and now in 2007. Odd years are not good Edge as it looks.

Here the thing will WWE still want to push Edge if is able to get injured and miss time as he could be overlooked. Not saying he will be theres a chance.

Will they no way Edge is a special thing and I will really miss him and cant wait for him to come back.

 

[Prax]

WWE.com has added an article detailing Edge's pectoral tear injury. Dr. James Andrews performed surgery on the superstar over the weekend and now it appears the injury is much worse than originally reported. Andrews said that once they opened Edge up they discovered that the tendon had completely torn off the bone and that the injury could have been career-threatening if it hadn't been correctly repaired.

The article leads us to believe that Edge will make a return in late 2007, but it will all depend on how he heals, his physical therapy, and the training time needed to return. Andrews would not give an exact date when Edge should be ready but said it normally takes 3-4 months once a patient is out of surgery.

Not good news for Edge. If the injury was worse then they thought it even solidifies my theory that Edge's chances of getting back on top of the WWE are slimmer now. It sucks.

 

[A.J.]

From the looks of it Edge is going to be a guy that needs to watch him self as he looking to become injury prone and thats a not a good thing when you want to be the man. Hopefully edge can come back, but him being the man again looks out the window for awhile.

 

[Oasys]

This is terrible for Edge and the WWE. They are lacking talent on SD! and possibly lost one of the greatest heels ever. Hopefully rehab will go well and Edge will take back his place at the top of the roster.

 

[Nikateen]

Edge will be World Champion again, It's inevitable when you're the type of heel he is. Edge isn't really "injury prone", injury prone is re-occuring injuries that happen every year. You all have to remember his neck injury was more of a freak accident than anything else. Plus, when he missed time in 2005 it was only for a few weeks at most due to a groin injury. He's worked a full time schedule without missing any time for the past two years, he's been in a lot of high risk matches that John Cena, Batista, Undertaker, etc, etc. wouldn't even think of being in, let alone taking the bumps Edge has.

Edge will be just fine and he will be in the ME scene as soon as he gets back. The guy is too good of a wrestler and promo cutter to be utilized in the mid-card for the rest of his career... I guarantee the guy will hold the WC or WHC a few more times before his career is over with.

This also gives Edge time to get back into great shape.

 

[Prax]

Do you not remember how Edge didn't wrestle very much on RAW last year? It's because he ALWAYS had a nagging injury that stopped him from work a full schedule but not from being on the road.

A bruised shoulder, a sore jaw, whatever, he was just always injured. Add that to the fact that your neck can never really heal 100% from a neck injury like the one he had, and the fact that he's now had to have major surgery done on his pectoral muscle, that makes him injury prone.

Consider that with the fact that WWE has been really unlucky with injuries and they need someone consistent who can carry a brand and hold a championship, I sincerely doubt he'll ever get a long run ever again.

Think about it. He comes back, Undertaker is back. Rey is back. Batista's still around, MVP might be ready to make the jump to the main event. Add that to the fact that Triple H and HBK will be back on RAW, and that adds two more top dogs to the RAW scene, there's no room for Edge as a world champ.

I hope I'm wrong, but there's really way too many things working against Edge ever holding the world title again for more than just a transition run.

Edge was never sidelined from Raw last year, what are you talking about? If anything, 2006 was his best year and where he really began to hit his stride. He won the WC twice in 2006, was in high profile matches, and put Cena over. Hell, he even won his second world title on Raw (which, according to you, he rarely wrestled on Raw). The only reason Edge didn't wrestle on Raw as much was due to the focus on the storyline between Edge and Cena. 2006 was Edge's best year, get your facts straight. Also, as for the jaw injury, that happened this year... and oh, please, tell me who else could've taken a kick to the jaw like that (the injury occured during an RVD kick) and not have recieved a fractured jaw? RVD botched that move, blame him. Finally, for Edge's neck not being able to heal a complete 100% He appears to be wrestling 100% every night with that neck. While Edge's career may have been plagued with injuries at times, he is nowhere near injury prone... I mean, if Edge is injury prone, then what is Batista, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels? Triple H has torn his quadriceps TWICE! Which is a lot worse than a torn pec... a torn pec will heal just fine for Edge. While it may have been more severe than expected, if it was repaired right (which according to WWE it was) then that will heal completely due to it being a muscle that can tear/repair itself a lot easier than other muscles in your body.

Oh, and factor in Rey Mysterio Jr. being involved heavily with the steroid/Chris Benoit situation, and I highly doubt he'll be holding on to world titles any time soon. Also, The Undertaker doesn't plan on wrestling much longer and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he ends up deciding not to return, Batista isn't gonna be anywhere near that title anytime soon (aside from the joke fued with Khali), and MVP will have to do a lot of improving within the next four months if he wants to be champ (even though I like the guy a lot, he's not as over to the fans outside of the internet community).

Edge will be a WC more times to come in the future... BANK ON IT!

 

[Oasys]

You honestly believe the WWE would put a championship on HBK, Taker, Triple H, or Mysterio before they gave Edge another run? Do you think before you post? From what I have read, I highly doubt it. Everyone you named is getting old. They are nothing like they were years ago, are injury proned, and dont have the talent or heat that Edge does. I'm sure that will ruffle a few feathers here seeing as how the majority of you are obsessed with Taker. Edge is getting up there in age, but he still has a good 10 years left.
The WWE is going to slap the belt right back on Edge as soon as he returns. Think for a change.. you will agree

 

[Nikateen]

Edge is only going on 34, guy. That's still fairly young for a wrestling career. I wouldn't go as far as to say he has 10 years left in him (which he may) but barring anymore major injuries, he does have a good 5 to 7 years of FULL time wrestling in him.

 

[mabuza]

I was more saddend by Edge getting injured than I was when Chris murck'd himself&his family.Edge is the top heel in the WWE since HHH's evolution days.Noone could garner more heat than Edge.I remeber the SD! in Texas where all the audience in the frontrows had "EDGE Sucks" signs.That's when I knew he was destined to be one of the greatest of all time.
He returns in November in time for the Survivor Series IN CANADA,IN MONTREAL.So expect a RATED-R screwjob on whoever's the unlucky bastard to be holding Adam's WHC.

A) Edge is from Toronto, and people in Montreal hate people from Toronto. Everytime they come to Montreal Edge kinda gets a face pop but then gets a ton of heat cause he's from Toronto.

B) Survivor Series was moved, it's not in Montreal anymore because of some sort of scheduling issues. (I personally think it's the Quebec government being dickwads but anyway).

 

[johnnyvictory]

Say what you gotta but i speak for myself when i say "THANK GOD" I personally hate edge, not because he cant wrestle, hes no dean malenko but he doesnt have enough skill to be such a big threat to face. has anyone noticed hes like half the size of everyone he faces? whod this guy service to get a title shot? karma punk, im a huge matt hardy fan and all i have to say is bad things come back to you. lita left his ugly ass and now hes in rehab just when he was gonna get the push of his career. i can only hope he comes back to win the title and then blow out his knee. happy rehab edgester

I thought this was pretty funny. you go nto critisizing his ability in the ring when Edge is easily one of the best performers the WWE has. and how can you bring up his size how does his size matter for anything I dont think you pay close enough attention when Edge is on Tv because if you did youd understand how great he actually is

 

[Oasys]

I never knew 6'5 at 250lbs was considered to be small.. If your going to talk about his personal life, start a new thread.

Most of Edge's injuries are brought on by his own doing.. such as spearing somebody off of a ladder. What happened with Kane was a freak accident. I don't expect it to happen again.
I think the WWE has finally figured out that they need to use the talent he has. When he comes back, I have a feeling he won't be doing many more high risk moves.
