Edge is the Sole Survivor

[phenomphan]

That match was awesome. I could've sworn Taker had that match because at that point I just figured Edge would return after the pinfall. And he's a great heel too, attacking the most beloved face in WWE in Taker and pulling Batista over him to get the victory. I had to boo him myself for that move. Only question I have now is where do they go from here? I thought they were going to save Edge vs. Taker for WM 24, but with that 4 months away, I don't see how they could keep them apart for that long, unless Taker "disappears" for a while, but I don't see that happening either, as he looked pissed at Edge tonight. Thoughts?

I'm guessing Edge-Taker-Batista triple threat

And hopefully with Batista losing this time. I love Edge and all, but I wish they would've waited until Taker took the belt from Batista. Now we gotta see him back in the title picture for another month. Edge, Taker, please take him out of the title picture.

He got the heel heat from me for costing my favorite wrestler the World Title.

Dammit I love it. Glad to see him back.

But if the sole survivor was Isaac Hayes, then he would also be the Soul Survivor.

lol you too huh? I love Edge, but damn if I wasn't pissed at him tonight. Great ending though. Edge will have his dance with the Deadman soon enough, and I personally can't wait to see that match when it happens.

There's only one true survivor.

This doesn't really make sense to me. Why would Edge prefer to have Batista retain? Is it because he thinks he's an easier matchup than Taker? I mean, granted, Edge does have a pretty good record against Dave 1-on-1 in their last feud... ...but Edge helping Batista get a victory still feels weird to me.

Too bad about the music. I like Metalingus, but the rumored new track was cool in its own right.

Because he knew once he came back, Taker would come for him, considering how he took the title from Taker. So he got the first strike on him.

True. I also thought he was sending a message to Kane. I took out your brother, and I'm going to take out you now.

Actually Kane kinda took him out by injuring him on that Smackdown back in the summer.

So that is twice now that Taker gets screwed in HIAC because of interferance. Decent match, but the ending pissed me off. He should have come back after the pin fall.

My feelings exactly. The only positve is that Edge came back and it will be that much sweeter when Taker does finally win the title again. Call me a Taker mark, but I hate it when he loses like this, especially to Batista.

I bet that Undertaker disappears until WrestleMania. Edge wins the World Heavyweight Title from Batista and holds onto it until Mania. Then, the Undertaker returns, challenges Edge at WrestleMania, and wins it.

I think Edge will put a block on Taker going anywhere near the World Title, whilst Edge wins the belt from Batista either at Armageddon or the Rumble. Then Taker eventually gets the shot at WrestleMania.
