is this the last thing roderick strong tweeted before he died or are we meant to believe dexter jettster killed strong then took a selfie and posted it on strong's twitter account using strong's phone

He's been kidnapped for 4 days but the tweet was last night.

Yes someone in NXT got kidnapped in a parking lot, contain your surprise. Also DX and Regal arent worried about this kidnapping either.

Yeah he definitely overshot the landing but it’s still a stupid spot, how many wrestler have permanently hosed their backs landing on the edge of a platform like that? A lot.

They backpedaled that this Monday with the Christian promo admitting it won't be the greatest wrestling match ever even if Orton and Edge were in their prime. I like how they put the blame for the match being called that on Edge overcompensating because he's insecure about his return when I don't think he ever said that tag line. The PPV tag line has still not changed despite them outright saying it won't be the greatest wrestling match ever.

Since Vince bought the company, a lot of great workers have come to the WWF/E. Without putting together a list, I'm certain neither Orton nor Edge crack the top 50.

Like, Savage/Steamboat had months of scripting and planning.

Austin and Hart had months of buildup, natural chemistry, and pulled off a near impossible feat with the crowd.

Undertaker/Shawn successfully got over a new gimmick match and debuted a new main eventer.

Cactus/HHH had a great crowd, like a year-plus build, and found multiple ways to elevate the fight to a new level.



Edge and Orton don't... have any of that.

No but they do have chinlocks and nine years of ring rust, so thats almost the same.

And I say this as someone who counts Edge as one of his top 5 all time faves! He's great! The promos since returning have been awesome! This match won't be!

When I read this I missed that first bit and thought "Oh I dunno I bet if Orton were like, having the time of his life working with one of the younger guys and weren't constantly worried his shoulders would pop out he would probably be in the mid-30s" but then I realized you meant in the entire time Vince has run the company and not just on the current roster.

Even Edge is openly dumping on it. He's been tweeting stuff like "Just went to the coffee shop and had THE GREATEST ESPRESSO EVER", "Last night I read my daughter THE GREATEST BEDTIME STORY EVER" and such.

I thought it was really weird that he started it without the mask, and then put the mask back on.
