| Lopen 07/06/18 1:06:08 PM #287: | Edge's weakpoint has always been his matches for me. The only matches I love of his are from his Edge and Christian days-- partially because of the superior Christian, partially because being in a tag team probably concealed a lot of his weaknesses, and partially because he wasn't using that gawd awful spear as a finish. I'm not gonna call him a bad wrestler or anything, but I don't think it's necessarily only in hindsight that you can say he wasn't great in the ring. I do get what you (and Meltzer) are saying though. Like I recently rewatched Jericho vs Benoit's ladder match from Rumble 200... 1? And I was all like "why was this match so highly rated" but I mean the more I think about it the more it was probably because I'm so damn burnt out on ladder spots about 16-17 years after its original broadcast, and in the moment those kinda things were very innovative. But I do think there are a lot of matches out there that are timeless, a lot of matches that were great in the moment but haven't aged well, and a lot of matches that weren't really that good to begin with. Sorting out the latter two is difficult, but I do think a timeless factor to a match makes it better and shouldn't just be discarded either. It is a shame the superior Christian wasn't nominated though. Just another reason I should've had 10 more nominations. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ...
