I got to get some water for this one. Hold on. Hold on. La la la la. All right, we good now. But prime edge when he became champion, the WWE champion, there was no stopping him. He was truly a menace and I loved it. It was it was he was great as a heel. Even now it is fantastic as a heel. I'm looking forward to this video just going down memory lane. Let's get right into this one. Road to Nike. Yo, there has never been a wrestler. I've hated more my life than prime edge from 2005 until 2009. If you were watching wrestling and you heard, you think you know me? When you heard that in the smoke came out of nowhere. Oh, you knew there was some BS about to happen. You better hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your championships because Edge was coming and he was taking it all without a doubt. This man was the slimy is the scummy is the most disgusting. Just the biggest piece of shit. There is no doubt that this man right here was the biggest supervillain of our childhoods. It all started in 2005 when he took Matt Hardy's girl. Yeah, started right there and it was a real life situation. And it just all worked. It worked. It was messed up, but it worked when nursing and knee injury at home. Edge started nursing leader on the road. The WWE found out and made it a whole TV storyline. And once that happened, it was a wrap because Edge not only took Matt Hardy's girl, he then proceeded to beat Matt Hardy's ass live on pay per view. He took the man's girl and then left his ass a bloody mess in front of millions of people. And then he danced on his grave. Yo, Edge did Matt Hardy so dirty that, yo, if a man did me like how edgy did Matt Hardy, I'm going out shooting. Facts, I've always said, yo, Edge would have to see me on the streets. He would have to see me on the streets. Hey, yo, Adam, huh? And that would have been the last thing he said, huh? Man, as the weeks went by, Edge and Lita just got worse and worse. Once he had Lita by his side, it was Gigi because they would come out and every week just wild out on the raw roster and then proceed to have like the nastiest, sloppiest, the most disgusting makeout sessions every single week. It was great. Less than a year into his run, this man took Matt Hardy's girl, beat his ass in front of millions of people, sent him packing to Smackdown and then walked into New Year's Revolution 2006. And took John Cena's championship. Man, this will forever be the biggest bitch move I have ever seen in my life. Poor John Cena was sitting in there in his own blood after surviving the elimination chamber after outlasting six other men. He was still a champion. It's like, yo, what a happy ending. But no, there are no happy endings. What? Edges, you think you know me? Comes to edge with his money to bank briefcase. He cashes it in and he hits him with two spheres and ends up becoming the WWE champion. Yo, I'm not lying to you. When I say that this moment traumatized me as a kid. Oh, yeah. For John Cena fans, his kids at this time, they were shook. They were like, no, and from then on, this dude just could not be stopped. It was people like to say that once, you know, like the attitude era was the golden ages for wrestling in WWE, WWF at the time. This era right now, kind of the ruthless aggression era was it was don't sleep on it. This this era was great. It has some great fantastic moments. They are man. Oh, bro. Stuff like this. Edge seen a few love that few loved and enjoyed it. It was a moment legit had me in shock. And this was a moment where I decided that I will never ever like Edge. I made it my life's mission to hate on Edge. I was going to be the Patrick Beverly of Hating Edge. Yo, trust me, you have to be there to understand. I was watching this live and I was so close to tears. I was seven years old and John Cena was my favorite wrestler. John Cena was my hero and John Cena always won and he always survived. And he did. That was the thing. He did win the match. He did survive. But then this guy, this piece of shit just came in there and took the championship and this moment changed me as a kid. The next night, he proceeded to celebrate the championship win by having a live sex celebration. Bro, what power was this even allowed? Imagine being seven years old and your favorite wrestler gets. For all the kids watching this, and I think this may have still be the highest rated segment, the most viewed segment in raw history. I think correct me if I'm wrong. But this happened, ladies and gentlemen, this was on TV. This was on TV. It's clapped by this guy and the next net you got to watch him have sex on live TV while you watch with your grandma. You guys see why I hate this man. Edge was just a sick, sick, twisted man. Not only did he take girlfriends and championship belts. Yo, for some reason, he also loved abusing old men for no reason. I remember watching Raw and all I see is Edge just beating up a 57 year old Ric Flair in a TLC match. Why the fuck was Ric Flair in a TLC match? All you see is Ric Flair bleeding all over the damn place, getting suplexed off a ladder and just dying and Edge is just there having the time of his life abusing this poor old man. Of course, this was also the year he speared Mick Foley through his flaming table. But do you guys remember what he did in the mixed tag match at one night stand 06? As everyone knows, right? This is a wrestling pin, right? This is how you win a match. Nah, not for Edge. This is how he won the match. That is another man's wife. I am telling you, he is a sick, sick, twisted man. He needed to be stopped, right? Edge was so many. The same that he caused Cena the championship. And a few weeks later, he casually went to John Cena's house and slept his day in the living room. This man was possessed. He was just the definition of evil. I'm surprised he didn't wrestle in like Black Air Force. He had Black Air Force energy. If there's any wrestler that had Black Air Force energy, it was definitely Edge. Forces. Yo, he needed to be stopped, man. He needed to be stopped. But that was a problem. He could never be stopped. Because every time he got clapped, every time someone did anything to Edge, yeah, he would disappear for a bit, but he would always come back and he would always come back even stronger, even scummier, even slimmier. This man was like the Frieza of WWE. Let me show you what I mean, okay? So John Cena threw this man into a lake, right? He threw him off a ladder into a bunch of tables. He beat him in a cage. That, that TLC match was fantastic. Even though everyone was pro-Edge, that was a fantastic TLC match. I think it was that unforgiven. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cage match. And I remember watching WrestleMania 23. When Jeff Hardy dropped the leg drop on him, it looked like Edge died. It literally looked like Edge died and that was the greatest moment of my life. See, Edge get carried away on a stretcher. I was like, yes, he's dead. He's gone. He's not winning this match. Hallelujah. Edge is not a problem anymore. But no. No. Because he only came back slimmier and scummier. It was May 2007 and it was an episode of Smackdown. The main event was super hyped up and it was for the World Heavyweight Championship. It was Batista versus The Undertaker. Both men escaped at the exact same time and The Undertaker, he got a clap, no doubt, but he was still walking out champion and it was respectable. The Undertaker was a respectable champion. But then, you know, Mark Henry's music played and I'm like, okay. So Mark Henry just beats up The Undertaker, leaves him lying there dead and it's like, all right, cool Mark. I don't know why you're acting up. Not like The Undertaker's gonna beat your ass next week. It was minor, Mark Henry was not a problem. And I was like, all right, cool. What a great episode of Smackdown. I can't wait for next week. It was amazing. You know, it's time to go to sleep. But then it happened. You think you know me? You know me? On Smackdown, honestly. Yup. Ha ha ha. Fucking edge. I think, oh yeah, and this is when he did win the briefcase from at the time, Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy put the briefcase on the line and then he beat him for it. So this is when he took, he had another briefcase. Oh man. You on this show that was supposed to be my safe place on Friday night, on the night that I was not supposed to see him out came Edge. Yo, he had the briefcase in his hand and it was happening again. It was literally happening again. It was like deja vu. Remember how I said he traumatized me in 06 when he asked me on Cena? Well, you know what? This was worse. This was on Smackdown. This was on the show he wasn't even on. He was a raw wrestler. But nah, nah, here he is. Yo, Smackdown was my safe space. Okay. This was his safe space. My edge guard was all the way down. I was chilling. I was relaxing. But no, here he comes out there once again and once again he finesses the system and become the world heavyweight champion. The poor undertaker is lying there in his blood. He is deader than usual and Edge just goes in there and becomes champion. And that that. And they had a good for you too. Oh man, bro. Interesting. Gotta give him his flowers. Point, that's when it hit me. That's when I realized, yo, it didn't matter if it was raw, it didn't matter if it was Smackdown. It didn't matter if you were injured at home cause he'll take your wife on the road. And if you're lying down at home, it doesn't matter. You'll go home and slap your dad. Like it didn't matter if you were 57 years old. It didn't matter if you were a dead man. Edge was always going to tweak. And yo, I swear to you, this was the worst thing he ever did because once Edge came to Smackdown, this man reached another level. Alpha Edge was bad on raw, but nah, nah, once he came to Smackdown, it was over. Edge for the next few years would go on to pillage, ravage, just destroy Smackdown with the scumiest tactics I had ever seen in my life. Every time there was a match where I'm like, oh my God, Edge is finally gonna die. No, he never died. He always wanted to roll up. He wanted by escaping the cage, running through the crowd. Every time, I'm like, yo, he's finally gonna get clapped. He never did. And if by some divine miracle he did get clapped, it didn't matter, okay, it didn't matter. In July of 2007, he actually got injured and that meant he had to give up his title. He had to surrender the title and he was no longer a champion. I remember being so happy just sitting there watching Edge in the ring, he was crying. Yo, he had a personal vendetta, yes, fuck you, Ed. And he gave the title to Teddy. I was really happy. I'm like, yo, the bad man's gone, great, but no, it was not great because he always came back and he always came back scumier than ever. It was November of 2007. Edge had been gone for four months, four months of bliss, four months of awesomeness, four months of not seeing his stupid face and it was Survivor Series 07. It was Batista and the Undertaker in an amazing Hell in the Cell match. Everything was fine and I really wanted Batista to win as usual and I thought that it was gonna happen, right? I was pretty confident. And then all of a sudden, the cameraman starts speaking. Yes, the cameraman, yo, this guy, Edge disguised himself as a cameraman in the Hell in the Cell and just went in there and just started beating up everything. He hit him with a camera, got a bunch of chairs, just blasted everyone's head, just left everyone a bloody mess and he was back. Just like that, Edge was back. And at first I was like, all right, whatever. You know, Taker and Batista are gonna kill him. You know, it's no problem. But no, no, it was a huge problem because at Armour getting 07, the next month on Pay Per View, it was a triple threat match, Batista, Undertaker and Edge. Well, you know what? We thought it was a triple threat match because that was not the case. This man brought stunt doubles to where he wrestled in the match and not just one, but two. He brought in two idiots that looked just like him and basically had them around the ring, playing dead, playing dummy. Bro, what the? That shit was, I was not expecting that, bro. They, Edge, Batista, Undertaker, they just, well, they carried SmackDown around this time. I ain't gonna, they carried SmackDown on their backs. So many great matches. So you see is Edge getting clapped? But no, apparently it's not Edge. Then you see Edge getting clapped again. No, it's not Edge. Then you see like two Edges on the floor while another Edge is in the, I can't, you already know what happened. Look at people, they're just confused. And you walked out champion once again. Bro, what, how, where, who, huh? It was too much. This guy was using military tactics in a wrestling match. This guy was out here using guerrilla warfare, using dummy. I can't, I can't. So he was world champion once again, right? Well, that wasn't enough for Edge. No, no, no, no. He wanted to reach another level of peak sliminess. He needed protection. He needed security. He needed a way to ensure that he stayed at the top. So what does he do? Vicky Guerrero. He ends up in a relationship with Vicky Guerrero. Vicky Guerrero basically becomes Edge's sugar mama and these two buffoons begin to run snacking. Every year they would come out and these bozos would screw over all the snacks down the pipes of Edge and Vicky kissing, legit make me want to gag. Edge was that desperate. Edge was that slimy and disgusting that he got with Vicky Guerrero. They were the definition of evil. I remember Vicky made a TLC match at one night stand to wait. And the stipulation was if the Undertaker lost to Edge, he had to be forced to leave the WWE. So what happens in the match? Well, Edge and Vicky have like the armed forces basically go out there like it's a desert storm operation and they make sure that the Undertaker does not win this match. Edge wins the match and the Undertaker was banished from the WWE. No, Edge was a sick, sick man. At one point he was even engaged to Vicky Guerrero. They were going to get married on an episode of Smackdown. Luckily at the wedding Triple H came out and showed Vicky and the world footage of Edge cheating on Vicky. And this resulted in the wedding getting called off and Vicky went crazy, Vicky went mental. She caught off the wedding, she hated Edge and she made sure that Edge was going to pay for this. So what she does is make Edge take on the Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. And everyone's like, yay, Edge is finally going to get clapped, everyone's going to catch up to Edge. It's the end, it's over. And that's what happens, right? The Undertaker destroys Edge in a Hell in a Cell match. He chokes slams him from a ladder through the ring, sets it on fire. Yeah, he threw him to the gates of hell apparently. He killed him. Fire, basically killing Edge. And it's like, yes, finally, he's done. He's dead, Edge is over. Like we can move on with our lives. No. But no, no. How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man? It was November of 2008, okay? Edge had disappeared, Edge was dead and now Jeff Hardy stepped up and Jeff Hardy really took Edge's place and now he was the top guy on SmackDown. Everyone wanted to see Jeff Hardy become the WWE Champion and he was so close. So Survivor Series, oh wait, the main event was going to be a triple threat match, Jeff Hardy versus Vladimir Kozlov versus Triple H for the WWE Championship. And this was finally going to be the night that Jeff finally wins the big one. But right before the show, news comes out that Jeff Hardy was found unconscious at his hotel and that he wouldn't be able to wrestle up the show. So the match became Vladimir Kozlov versus Triple H. Great, amazing. So the match is taking place and everyone's like, yo, we won Jeff, where is Jeff? We won Jeff. And everyone is just hoping and praying that Jeff Hardy comes in and wins the match. So with 10 minutes into the match, they're obviously having a five star classic, right? It's a five star classic. How come is Vicky Guerrero? And at this point, I had never been so happy to see Vicky Guerrero in my life and she comes out and she's all happy and she's excited and she's like, he promised you a triple threat match and that's where we're gonna get. Everyone's like, yo, really? Really, it's happening? And she starts screaming, he's here, he's here, he's here. And I was so amped. I was ready. I was about to do my Jeff Hardy dance. You think you know me? I'm gonna enjoy it. And then all you hear. You think you know me? Oh, what kind of sick joke is that? Why is he here? I thought Edge was dead. I thought Edge was dead, but no. Apparently, Edge came back from the dead in a match that I never in my wildest dreams thought Edge was gonna be involved in. And anytime you hear, you think you know me, shit's about to hit the fan. It's like the 50th time in three years he wasn't there and he ruined everything. I wanted Jeff Hardy to win the championship. Somehow, Edge walks out the champion. I can't, I can't, I can't. It just became a routine. It just became like clockwork. I was like, yo, every like four months, I'm sorry, my guy, but Edge is coming in. Edge is going over, Edge is gonna ruin everything. It doesn't matter. You can kill him, put him through tables, put him through the ring, set him on fire, put him through a ladder, it didn't matter. No matter what, this guy always came back. He always came back. He became champion. He prevailed slimmer and scummier than ever. Edge always prevailed. It would be like the most random pay-per-views. No way out of 2009, right? He goes in as champion. He loses in three minutes. Oh, it doesn't matter. I guess I can't be WWE champion. I'll just go become World Heavyweight Champion. I'll just go beat up Kofi. Yeah, beat the hell out of Kofi. Imagine he's become the champion. I was like, what? This is the state. It's like rules didn't apply for Edge. This guy broke all the rules. He bent all the rules. Whatever he wanted, he did. This guy was the worst. He was the ultimate supervillain. Yo, nobody was safe. And I hate, I literally hate this man. What this man did from 2005 until 2009, it's illegal. He needs to be arrested. He should be prosecuted. I can't. There has never been a wrestler and there never will be a wrestler who will ever be on his level of being as slimy, as scummy, and as disgusting as him. This man is single-handedly responsible for 98% of my childhood trauma. PTSD I have, it's because of this guy. It was just too much, man. No matter what show, what championship, he would always be there. He would just be ready to ruin it all. This man, I swear to you, he gave me PTSD. Whenever something good happened as a kid while I was watching wrestling, whenever something positive happened, in the back of my head, I was always there like, oh, shit, what if I hear that sound? You think you know me? Yeah, man, it was just too much. But yeah, man, jokes aside, respect to Edge. At the end of the day, Edge is responsible for so many moments of our childhood that we're never gonna forget. Even though in the moments we hated it, even though it hurt, even though he did everything to ruin everything for us, he was actually making the moments for us. Because of Edge, I'm never gonna forget when he cashed in against Cena or The Undertaker, when he came back to ruin everything for Jeff Hardy. A movie or a TV show can only be as good as The Villain and it's the same thing for WWE. Edge was the perfect villain for the perfect era and Edge literally made our childhoods. So yo, do I still hate Edge? Of course. Well, I always hate Edge, of course. He was always going to be my number one villain, my number one enemy. But at the end of the day, I know deep down that this man made our childhood so, so special. At the end of the day, I am so glad that I grew up in the era where I got to see Edge be the villain of my childhood. Yo, it's Edge, man. He was so, so slimy. Mr. Opportunity, he's an opportunist. He finds his spot, he picks them. Doesn't matter how they look, don't matter how scummy they are, he will find a way to become a champion, man. All I wanna see in the comments down below, just you think you know me, man. That's it. I don't even have to say nothing. You think you know me. And also let me know your favorite Edge match. What's your favorite Edge match of all time, man? And just put, you think you know me. That's it. I ain't got nothing else to say. Appreciate y'all love and support. Road to 90K, appreciate y'all kicking in with me. I'll see y'all in the next one. Also, you think you know me. Ha ha ha.
