As we all remember Edge cashed in his Money In The Bank title shot at New Years Revolution 2006 and beat John Cena for the WWE Championship. In your opinion, which was the biggest sign that it was happening?
He had 3 months left to use it: It was January 8. He had until April 2 to use it and WrestleMania was pretty much set to go with Cena vs HHH.
The Instant Axxess Room Comment: A little remembered noogat saw Edge and Lita enter the Instant Axxess room and Edge tell Lita to do the interview because he had to take care of something.
John Cena starting the Elimination Chamber: Cena and Michaels started it off and they were the two favorites to win it all.
Four Minutes Between Chambers: There was still a good 35-40 minutes left of air time, so why else would they go from 5 minutes to 4?
The "I'm gonna lose" face: Popularlized by The Undertaker, Cena didn't have his normal gusto as he went to the ring and a facial expression like he couldn't believe it was coming to an end.
"No Chance...That's what ya got...": In case all the other clues didn't make ya think, obviously you knew something was up when Vince's entrance theme hit.
Other: Something I may have forgotten. Or just the fact that you didn't watch the ppv.

I didnt see the PPV so I didnt see it coming obviously. I think some good foreshadowing was Edge getting himself DQed against Flair, showing he didnt care about the IC title.
Yeah though, one of my favorite WWE moments of all time. I had been waiting for Edge to win the title for a long time and it finally happened...

That moment in the room, when Edge mentioned he had other plans or something.
Knew it would be MITB.

I didn't even know until Vince actually said "There will be one more match here tonight."

I didn't see it, but I do remember reading the results on Wrestlezone.com. When it said new champions in the title of the results article, I had assumed Mickie beat Trish. As I scrolled down I saw that both Flair and Trish retained. I then assumed Angle won the WWE Title. As I read the results, I was shocked that Angle went out first, and assumed Michaels must have won it. When I saw that he was gone too, I was just confused. When I saw that Cena won the chamber match I was relieved(because Masters didn't win), saddened(because Carlito didn't win), and still confused(because it said "new champions" but Cena won the match). Then I scrolled down, and began marking out like a 5 year old at "Barney On Ice". "Edge defeated John Cena to win the WWE Title". I was then able to go to bed happy.

That was the beginning of WWEs best run since 02, IMO...

I knew he would use it at either NYR or Royal Rumble so it was not that big of a surprise when he did.

I love that video, I honestly consider that one of the greatest WWE moments ever... I honestly believe that is up there with Rock throwing Austin in the river, the Austin beer truck and the great Bret screwed Bret promo.

What makes that video so incredible is the crowd reaction. Not that the superheel was getting cheered wildly, but you can tell by the reaction that the crowd didn't think there was any guarantee Edge was going to win this. That's how ridiculous Cena was in 2006 kayfabe.

When Vince came out was when my friends and I truly knew. Although we got a bit suspicious during the Access segment.
I don't think I've ever gone from anger to complete happiness so quickly when it comes to wrestling, damn that was a great moment.

damn that was a great moment. Until three weeks later, when John Cena was unloaded from a dimensional spaceship and proceeded to beat Edge in a pretty "meh" match.

I can see Edge is keeping the same formula
WWE Title
1. Edge uses the MITB to defeat Cena after Cena was in the Chamber match (cage match).
2. Edge defeats Cena and RVD in a triple threat match to win the title.
WHT
1. Ege defeats Undertaker by using the MITB match after Taker had been in a cage match.
2. Edge defeats Taker and Batista in a triple threat to win the WHT.
Edge + MITB + Triple Threat = Best wrestler going today.

Thinking back, I think I thought there was a good possibility of it happeneing. But I was still caught off guard when Vince came out. Needless to say, I knew what was coming next.
I also really freaked out when Cena kicked out of the first spear.

I just wish the WWE would fully make up their minds with Edge and decide to just let him GO and get behind him as a world champion. It feels like they're doing that now, but it would be nice to know that he's fully secured his top spot.

Edge steals the MITB from whoever wins it, and then beats Punk for the ECW title after Punk has been in a Hell in a Cell match(cage match). 2. Edge defeats Punk and Shelton in a Triple Threat to win the ECW Title.

On wwe.com it said that edge was cashing in his money in the bank When did it say that? If it was before the show, then they spoiled it right then and there. However, if it was up just before or right when Edge came out, then it doesn't count. I'm not calling you a liar or anything, I just think you might be confusing this with when he won the World Title from Undertaker, which was announced on wwe.com while it was happening.
