yeah the heel turn WAS NOT WORKING... part of it was that fans not wanting to boo Edge... but it didn't help that his gimmick was basically some weird mesh of supernatural talking... followed by then just generic "your sports team sucks". There wasn't really a gimmick to latch on to there... It could've worked if they went further with it. Looking back at the original Ascension vignettes from FCW, if they did Judgment Day like THAT, it would've clicked. Put them on top of buildings at night and tap back into Edges old Brood persona, except this time he's the leader of the pack. This could've even worked with Demon Balor. But Edge had to stay in order for it to be a hit IMO. FCW Ascension was awesome. Kenneth Cameron’s solo entrance was so boss. |

I guess some people wanted a surprise climax, and were left disappointed with just some Edging instead.

There wasn't really a gimmick to latch on to there... I really wanted to love it. I love the parts of the whole. I loved the presentation. But everything about their character and direction was just wrong. Agreed about the parts of the whole. For instance the JD entrance song is f***ing fantastic. Altho it's still kinda dumb for the group to still be using it honestly. |

You know who I just realized would be perfect for judgment day? Karrion kross Especially with fan rumors of HHH hiring people back and Edge/mysterious outnumbering themWhoa, are we pretending that Dominik is in any way useful? |

Not disappointed it was only him because they didn't tease anyone else but I'm disappointed he's just backed to Rated R Edge. The vignettes suggested something new and dark.
That said, I do want Wyatt back haha

With Edge looking older these days, would anyone be in favor if he shaved off the facial hair again?

He should have returned with a group called No Mercy.

That said, I do want Wyatt back haha Yeah the entrance he had at Summerslam was cool and I want to hear a proper version of that theme. It sounded like a Brood intro but the rest of the song was different. |

Nah, he looked cool and the whole presentation was amazing. I liked it a lot and it didn't miss it not being Bray or anyone else

Honestly, "Rated R" Edge only really worked as a heel and when he was in the main event. He made a great #1 heel with a chip on his shoulder, but I just don't feel him as a "special attraction" type of guy.
