Know when an old dude shows his age? When he's gassed by the time he hits the ring and looks like he's going to die at any moment while trying to work a match. But they still put the belt on Goldberg twice and put him in a title match against Drew a few months ago. Nothing about a dude's face looks as bad as when someone shows up and they clearly don't have it in the tank any more. It's the lack of consistency that really gets me there, but that's Vince. He just f***ing does shit and says shit because an idea popped into his head and he has to act on it

I’m not buying it. Thus is clearly another example of master politicker, Daniel Bryan, manipulating his way into another Mania main event.

I think the focus is in the wrong place, not having any long-term plans set for Daniel Bryan at a two night wm is a bigger issue.

"Vince, why are you souring on Edge now this late in the game?" Vince: "Ahh...I don't know..." *lazily scrolls through FAN Fast Lane live thread and sees all the exaggerated Old Geezer Edge jokes* Vince: "He's...old I guess..."

Edge at least still has it in the ring and on the mic, so him looking his age doesn't bother me.

Edge looks fine when his hair isn’t tied back, when it is his age is pretty noticeable (still looks good btw, it’s just Mother Nature doing its thing).

My only, and quite big, problem with his return has been that, since the build to Fastlane, they for whatever reason turned him into a whiny bitch.

Like, how do you go from "I'm happy for any of you to win the Elimination Chamber so I can face you at WrestleMania" to "WHY CAN'T I WRESTLE IN A POINTLESS TAG MATCH BEFORE MY WRESTLEMANIA TITLE MATCH?! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"?

We'll see how this heel turn goes, but up until Fastlane I had no idea what he's supposed to be.

Not least of all because THE GUY WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE FROM #2. Coming back from a bad injury. At 47 years old. Having previously retired because of an even worse injury.
If you can't make the guy a babyface with *that* story, jesus christ.

I mean I agree with all that they said
Never liked Edge beating Roman straight up anyway and they were building DB/Roman until Edge came along. Smart decision

I mean he is 47 so I guess I see what they mean about his age. That is an amazing narrative to go with. The old veteran who is still dope and can win the title but know he's up there in age.

Honestly there's way more story potential out of Bryan winning the belt and Edge going full heel in chasing him than there is in Edge beating Roman anyway.

The 2004 Royal Rumble was won by Vacant.
