“Vince pulled me into his office and he said, ‘Listen, we’re going to have another match with Edge at the next pay per view. I want Edge to go over, starting to push him really good and I want to make him a huge star. But, what we’re going to do is we’re going to have a hair vs. hair match and Edge is going to shave your head. You’re going bald anyway, your receding so I’m doing you a favor.’ That’s what he said to me. So he said, ‘But don’t tell Edge, don’t tell him because I have something planned for him.’ And I didn’t understand what he meant but he said, ‘Please don’t say a word to anybody.’ … We get to the pay-per-view and Vince sits us both down and he says, ‘Listen, we have a hair vs. hair match tonight and Angle, you’re going over. You’re going to shave Edge’s head.’ “And Edge was like, ‘Uhhh, holy shit’. He couldn’t believe it. After the meeting, he came to me and said, ‘Hey Kurt, I’m a little nervous about getting my head shaved because my head isn’t shaped right.’ He said, ‘It’s not going to look good bald.’ And the thing is, Vince kept this from him, he pulled a prank on him up until right before we went out to compete, to perform. And at the last second, he said, ‘Edge I’m just kidding, you’re going to shave Kurt’s head. Change the finish now.’ We literally had two minutes to change the finish and we went out there, so Vince pulled a rib on Edge. It was awesome and it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.” “He was up in the rafters of the arena with a boo-boo face all day. He didn’t want to talk to anybody, he was trying to convince himself that everything would be okay if his head was shaved bald. That’s what he was trying to do, it was just really funny. It was the funniest prank I ever pulled on anyone.” www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/05/kurt-angle-recalls-rib-vince-mcmahon-played-on-edge/

Typical Vince. That's like something a 7 year old would do. Not only does he get to play mind games with Edge but he puts Angle down too, in the process. It's win-win for him.

And the "independent contractor" gets no say on whether he has to make a major change to his appearance.

I mean Vince is an absolute trash fire of a human being, but that's pretty funny. Awful, but funny.

I remember Edge telling the same story in his autobiography.

I wonder what a bald Edge would look like. Looks like a cross between Christopher Daniels and a penis.

I mean, when it comes to pro wrestling ribs and "Vince is an asshole" stories, this is honestly pretty timid. Please people, save your venom for something else.

My biggest thing was only telling Edge 2 minutes before hand and how they had to do a new ending that quickly Yea that part is the only issue I have. Start the rib earlier in the program, and then let Edge off the hook first thing that day of the PPV, and I have zero problems with it. That gives them time to make whatever small edits they may want/need to make.

So it's less cruel to let him sit for hours then days in terms of the storyljne

I don’t remember this match, but did they really do a Hair vs. Hair match (with Edge no less) with zero build? Like just announce it when they came to the ring?
Seems like that would have been a good selling point.

So this is why Edge won't ever fully commit to shaving it all off I assume. Probably why he only shaved the sides for the Judgment Day gimmick

My biggest thing was only telling Edge 2 minutes before hand and how they had to do a new ending that quickly To be fair, wrestling is full of last minute changes to the finish, and these guys who'd been in the business a number of years could easily come up with a new finish.
