I know wwe's history woth rewrting things and lack of short term memory...but i dont get why they tried to make us forget edge & christian were brothers...
I mean some things they try and convince us..i.e katie vick..having kane be at a party...at least it was so a story could progress..but edge and chrisatin beiong made out 2 just be friends after 7 years of being brothers.
It did'nt aid a story or anything so what was the point...??..i know its not really important but it really bugged me when they were teaming and JR would just call them teamm8s..i would just sit there thinking..what harm would it do to call them brothers??
Does anyone know why they did this?

Well, if WWE had tapes of all their old shows, it would be easy to cross-reference, but alas, they don't, so........basically, um...yeah.......rum rules.

They didn't try to 'make anyone' forget anything.
They just didn't bother mentioning it because it wasn't very important.

The new writers probably weren't told about it. Writers don't need to know about the mid-card.

On a similar topic, what were the Andersons? (I have heard it alternate between brothers and cousins) And for that matter, were Ric and Arn cousins, or best friends, as it was sometimes mentioned, especially in later WCW?

Officially the two Anderson's have no relation to eachother. I'm not too sure how it played out on television.

I keep reading this thread as "Why did WWE forget Edge & Christian were lovers?"
And thats a far cry less scary if they arent brothers.

The last time I saw the two in a backstage segment, Christian called Edge 'bro'. Does that count?

I think they de-emphasized the idea of Edge and Christian being brothers after Edges book came out.

I remember when Edge attacked Christian around 04-05 and J.R. said his attacking his own little brother or something like that.
They never actually came out and said "These two good friends were a good tag team" or anything like that, they just didn't mention they were "brothers" every 5 seconds.
