The Rated R Trio

[rKo0019]

Edge's stable is intriguing, as it refreshes storylines somewhat and keeps the fans guessing...but comparing them to Evolution is just ludicrous. Evolution had more talent and charisma than anyone in the "Rated R Trio" or whatever they are called currently has. You had two of the most accomplished wrestlers in the business, with HHH and Ric Flair, and two young studs, Orton and Batista. The sky was the limit for the members of Evolution, and their individual careers have remained strong since.
The only one benefitting from this entire situation is Edge...The "Edge Heads" really have no track record in WWE, other than being Edge lookalikes...if they get the tag team gold, it will be a short run at best in a second-rate division. Edge is already an established wrestler in WWE...other than getting the "Heads" some more TV time, they hardly have the ability or the charisma to make something out of it...they don't have the "it" factor, you could say...
The main thing hurting this stable is THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE....with Evolution, you had four different, intriguing personalities, each with their own look and moveset. Edge and the "Edge Heads" all look similar and have pretty much the same ability, from what I have seen. I don't see this stable being around for a long time, there is only so much you could do with a stable of this type...

After watching E.C.W. this previous week, and seeing Edge help Chavo to become the new E.C.W. Champion.. I can even see the name of this group being changed from "Edgeheads" to "La' Familia'" just because it could be a Guerrero/Edge connection...

Honestly, this is what definately was needed to help Chavo, because not only by aligning himself with Edge is it helping his heel heat, but by accepting what Vickie & Edge are, is only adding to the hatred the fans will give him.

Unfortunately, come the lead-up to Wrestlemania, I see a lot of Undertaker v. Chavo Guerrero squash matches. And if somehow, even with Edge cheating to help him win, I just can't see W.W.E. allowing Chavo to get ANY type of victory over the Undertaker.. therefore, Edge is merely collecting a big group of glorified jobbers to become a hit-list for Taker leading to Mania.

 

[Sicko]

I love the stable actually, was never much of a Chavo fan but and the two young guys both have a lot of potential, if they would have just remained a tag team that just happened to be brother I think they would eventually have been released or something but being with Edge actually makes them way more relevant, looking forward to see how it plays out

 

[robwylde90]

Im watching SD! and Im intrigued. A new stable has arisen , for once im actually excited about this new idea, the "edgeheads" and there Rated R commander. Then they add Chavo. WTF. Could there have possibly been a worse member to add to this group? The new ECW champion should have been John Morrison. It would have fit with edges rockstar look, his heel mentality, his talent , his arrogance. Instead we get a guy whos never had any considerable crowd reaction, a guy who the crowd has never thought "oh I'll pay to see him" about and guy who is simply leeching off his greater forefathers' legacy. Chavo doesnt add anything to edges stable that it didnt already had and him wearing a world title is a complete joke.

 

[Rated K for Kennedy... Kennedy!]

I think the idea of this is AWESOME! Edge has always been arrogant and the idea that he has followers who even want to look like him definately helps him. The way it was played at SSeries was awesome and genuinely shocked me, which makes a change.

For the "Edge-heads" or "Team Rated R" or whatever it can go one of two ways, if they're just used to help Edge it wont do them any good, but if they're pushed and allowed to mature into their own characters then it could do them the world of good.

Apparently this was done since Smackdown doesnt have enough heels. Personally I think this proves y2J should have gone there, but if this helps Hawkins and Ryder then awesome! They need new guys coming through quickly with Flair retiring and HBK seemingly coming in to shore.

 

[Total Impact]

I think the Edgeheads suck and this a stupid idea. I mean Team Angle was good because Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Hass could wrestle and te team had great matches and were over witt he fans. Will Zach Ryder and Kurt Hawkins sucked as the Major Brothers and now are just two jobbers to take a beating from Edge's PPV opponent on Smackdown.

The WWE should of chosen Elijah Burke, & Sniztky for the roles as it could help get Elijah over and plus Sniztky could be the muscle for Edge. Whenever the WWE puts together a stable for a main event, they need to continue to follow horsemen rule:

1.Your Champion/leader(Ric Flair)
2.Cocky Friend(Tully Blanchard)
3.Enforcer(Arn Anderson)
4.Vetern(Ole' Anderson)

It worked with The Hart Foundation, Nation of Domination, & Evolution.

The Hart Foundation:
1.Your Champion/leader(Bret Hart)
2.Cocky Friend(Owen Hart)
3.Enforcer(British Bulldog)
4.Vetern(Brian Pillman/Jim Niehart)

Nation of Domination :
1.Your Champion/leader(Farooq later The Rock)
2.Cocky Friend(The Rock and later D-lo Brown)
3.Enforcer(Mark Henry)
4.Vetern(Kama Mustaha and later Owen Hart)

Evolution.
1.Your Champion/leader(Triple H)
2.Cocky Friend(Randy Orton)
3.Enforcer(Batista)
4.Vetern(Ric Flair)

The edgeheads are just jobbers

 

[Dark Blaze]

Well at first, this looked like a great idea, a easy way to elevate a up & coming tag team and even better the tag team division on smackdown. I saw two young stars being associated with the top heel, dominating the division and receiving tag team gold before long.

However, as we all know, this hasn't happened and won't seem to happen any time soon.

I mean, during the course of this stable..the edge heads have done basically NOTHING. No title shots, no major character development...nothing.

I mean, where are the rewards Edge promised them? Being squashed by festus? I mean two guys currently involved in the hottest faction (more like only), hanging with the top heel...but they lose so easily, no using any heelish tactics? Nothing?. What are they doing even wrestling as single stars?

What has never made sense to me is that we see Edge getting advantages because of him screwing Vickie...but the Edgeheads? Nada.

All in all, a disappointing run for the Edgeheads...here's to hoping things get better...but so much for wishful thinking eh.

 

[Cage917r]

The Edgeheads was a good idea, it could have worked and formed a very good mini faction. You would have thought that by turning the Major Brothers into the Edgeheads, they would have gotten a push, that is what it seemed like didn't it. Now it appears that they were simply chosen to simply interfere at Armageddon, allowing Edge to win. Vince was probably like, "Hey, those guys look like Edge, we need a way to make Edge win, but not fairly, how about they dress up like Edge, interfere and allow Edge to win, we could call them the Edgeheads!" The problem is, WWE didn't think about what they would do with them after that.

Since that moment, all the Edgeheads have done is get there asses whipped by a bunch of people. They have become the whipping boys of the faction, usually allowing Edge to escape and watch his boys get destroyed. It was a simple idea, but I believe it will come to an end soon, what happens when the Taker/Edge fued is over, they wont have them stick with Edge when Edge doesn't have the title or title shot, would they. By the looks of it, this is coming to an end, thankfully because the Edgeheads serve no point anymore.

 

[Sportsperson411]

I don't think the Ryder Hawkins Edge head is working out though. I would add Chavo or he is already added, M.V.P. should be added, and a tag team like Miz and Morrison should join this faction. It would really make some new blood on Smackdown, and the faces could make their own faction to compete with Edge's. If only Paul Heyman was the Smackdown GM.

 

[wwesince2004]

If there were some face tag team champs instead of miz&morrison then it would work but since mizison is a heel team and edgeheads are heels it wouldnt work (im sure wwe dont want a heel vs heel match) Maybe they could have this match but during it miz turns on morrison giving tag titles to edgeheads and joining edge while turning morrison face or something.

lol

There are plenty of teams between ECW & SD!, you got Miz/Morrison, Edgeheads, Jesse & Festus, JWY & Moore, Deuce & Domino, and if necessary you also got Dreamer & Delaney, & the B.O.D., they could just do a giant Tag Team Turmoil match on either SD! or ECW with all this teams involved and have the Edgeheads come out winning in the end, maybe start it out with B.O.D. & Miz & Morrison, then BOD just runs through every team until the Edgeheads come out as the last team, with Edge, Chavo, and Chavo's new back-up guy, and they screw BOD and Edgeheads end up with the win and are the new tag champs

 

[Danmen001]

The stable of the Edgeheads is a pretty good idea in general.

They can be used to help edge now, without any..... that makes no sense ..... kind of moments when they interfere randomly to help edge. They can also be used as a tag team and can bring some competition back into the division. They can be if used correctly pretty successful, especially with a main eventer like edge heading them.

Also they should be used in more competition with the titles, because they are a proper tag team with their own music and costumes.(even though they are edge's.)

 

[WrestlingRevealedCom]

Now that Guerrero and Edge have lost their belts, I think it's a perfect time to put the tag belts on the Majors.

You can add a new twist to the storyline by having those two guys show some personality by hinting that they're champions and the "bosses" aren't.

 

[schaeffershawn]

the problem is the Egdeheads have done nothing in the WWE and are not over because of it. this spot would have been much better filled by Cade and Murdouch, London and Kendrik, or Duece and Dommino. anyone of these teams could drop their cheesey gimicks and be the cocky heel tag team

 

[turbomonkey484]

If the edgeheads were actually pushed as a good tag team this stable would be a lot better. i actually cant remember a match were they have won as just a tag team (not including edge or chavo) they should be in tag team matches actually beating other tag teams so that they look dominant and therefore would be a good addition to a stable, at the moment they just look like a pair of jobbers who don't even help edge. And another thing why when they changed their gimmick did they give both of them different last names? its quite obvious they are brothers.

Well, they're not really brothers, but those names aren't their real names anyway. I still don't get why you'd go from a fake name to another fake name when you have the opportunity to just start using your real one (Brian Meyers is the real name of Curt Hawkins, if I remember correctly).

As far as dominance, I think they're planning things out long-term...and I hope, as if it isn't, its just a huge oversight by Creative. Right now, they're Edge's disciples, but they've also emphasized that they're Edge's trainees and they've been taken under his wing for guidance. If they were dominant too quickly, it would seem like they didn't need Edge's help. Best thing, in my opinion, is to pick a ppv like "Night of Champions" and have a tag team turmoil match - The In Crowd, Edge-Heads, Jesse/Festus, Moore/Yang - where Ryder & Hawkins steal the win. That will give Morrison the chance to move up to the main event as well.

Oh right i always assumed they were actually brothers, they look pretty similar but anyway yer thats a good idea, if they started stealing wins and cheating it would look like they had actually learned something from edge. i was just trying to say that at the moment they don't really do anything apart from follow edge around.

 

[schaeffershawn]

a better team to sever edge would be the tag team champs john morrison and the miz. they already have the cocky attitudes and are alot closer to being over then theegdeheads. plus they actually have legit heat and history Morrison who was in MNM and then was ECW champ along with being a former IC champ. They would benefit from teh rub much more. It would be like when Edge and Christian got the rub from Kurt Angle a few years ago by being his backup.

 

[Skullz Crack'Em]

When this group formed, I thought it was a good idea, but now I realize this was all a ploy to get Edge's program with Taker started, that's it. Hawkins and Ryder are merely jobbers and doesn't benefit from this at all. Now we have Chavo using them as well and it is evident that they are only there to be sacrificial lambs for Edge and Chavo. This is one of the worst factions of all time IMO, Edge isn't even shown as a great leader because Hawkins and Ryder comes off as if they will help anybody(like APA, but at least they charged for their services).

 

[RKO Orton]

First of all everyone, what were the Major Brothers doing before they joined with Edge. Nothing. Since they have been with Edge they have had a Steel Cage Main Event, one was in a 1-on-1 vs. the Undertaker, and they helped push Edge's character. Sure, Edge might not have needed them and they are being used as jobbers, but think about what they were doing before. Will the Edgeheads get a push... probably not. But at least they got a chance to show a little of their talent by hanging around Edge. I think this is a plus for both people, Edge and his goons.

If this was a while ago, I'd agree, but I think Morrison and the Miz would end up taking a step backwards if they aligned underneath Edge....Morrison especially, since Miz isn't even holding a midcard title yet but very well could. If Morrison was to be a sidekick to Edge, he wouldn't break out into the main event, which he's teetering on the edge (mind the pun) of now.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I actually liked the Major Brothers until they became "Edgeheads". They need to split off from him and get back to doing what they were doing.

Nothing? They were on ECW for two matches, got drafted, did nothing for 3 months. So you like them but you want them to not appear on TV? That doesn't really make much sense. Because that's what they were doing before Edge gave them the rub.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I like, and HAVE liked the idea. I just wished the times would be switched between this, and 2006. Edge was SO much more badass in 2006, and I think that iteration would be about 10X more entertaining now that he is really being given the chance to shine. Having the trio and Vickie help him makes him look so weak IMO. He doesnt even seem like a threat to UT.

On the other hand, its a huge rub for the Majors, and they are doing DAMN well with it. Id like to see them get drafted somewere else but somewhat keep the same personas, as this one fits them SO much better than whatever the fuck the other gimmick was supposed to be. Draft em, and let em feud with Londrick over the belts on RAW.

 

[Total Impact]

The Rated R-Entourage is the dumbest and worst stable in the WWE. Two reason, no matter what the WWE does, I wouldn’t believe in a second that Edge and those guys were legit friends as they have no chemistry at all together as a trio. And the second reason is that instead of going the Team Angle way of making the team a legit team that wins matches, the major brothers suck before they got with edge and suck even more with Edge. Hell, their matches are my bathroom break during smackdown. I would have rather seen Edge with Cade and Murdoch which was the plan on Raw or even with Colt Cabaña and Ace Steel which was the plan on smackdown before Ace got fired. If anything, it should have been Edge, MVP, Miz & Morrison. Or just Edge, Miz and Morrison as that would been perfect as they all play the sex getting/cocky gimmicks.

 

[turbomonkey484]

I predict that at one point they will all be champions. Edge US Champ, Edgeheads Tag Team on SmackDown! But Vickie Guerrero will get fired.

I cant see Edge becoming the US champ, it would make no sense. First of all it would be a huge step down for him has he has proven he belongs in the main event and secondly there are some guys that need the US title to boost their careers such as Matt Hardy or John Morrison so keeping the title off these guys and putting on edge would be stupid.

As for the edge heads becoming tag team champs, i think it could happen one day but at the moment they are at the bottom of the pile as far as tag teams go IMO, so it would take along time for them to build themselves up as the best tag team.
