soup23 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 E&C ask a kid for $5 backstage for his autograph. Pretty fair deal if you ask me. They also do the same deal as on the UK PPV with charging $10 for the picture. There is an RC Cola vending machine behind them that you don’t see everyday. They do a promo continuing to get more heel heat and then align themselves with Angle which is a good pairing. Match only goes four minutes but with these guys, it is again strong. Benoit does a run in and attacks Jericho. The spear Edge delivers to Jericho here looks good. Benoit and Jericho are fighting on the ramp way and Christian uses the ring bell to give the heels the win. Jericho and Benoit continue their brawl setting up Judgment Day. *1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Funny little backstage vignette as Edge and Christian charge a young fan $5 for an autograph, and then another $10 for a Polaroid where they end up blocking him out of the picture! When Kevin Kelly asks what they’re doing, they say they’re just trying to get close to their fans...but the people here in New Haven are pretty simple and don’t have a clue what’s going on. It’s the easiest money they’ve ever made! Quick in ring promo where Edge says although their fans like and respect them, they can’t seem to garner that same respect from the rest of the guys in the back. Christian continues that they look at them with envy, anger and rage; that is bar one man who shows them the respect they deserve. It’s with great honour that he introduces that man to them, Kurt Angle! Chris Jericho is still over huge with the audiences. Matt hot shots Edge on the top rope and a belly to back suplex. Tag to his brother, ‘poetry in motion’ and Y2J follows up with a running bulldog. Jeff goes for a wheelbarrow, however Edge counters and pancakes him to the canvas. ‘Three Amigos’ by Christian, ending with a face first suplex instead of a regulation one. Edge with a double axe handle off the middle, but Jeff gets in first with a dropkick to the chest. Hot tag to Jericho who takes it to team ECK. Double powerbomb on Christian before Edge clocks him from behind and tosses him to the arena floor. The referee is distracted by Matt and Chris Benoit rushes out and drops Y2J with a lariat. He throws him back inside and a spear by Edge for a super close near fall. Jericho leaves the in ring action to chase after ‘the Crippler’ and the two of them go at it on the entrance ramp way. Kurt counters the ‘twist of fate’ with a Northern Lights suplex, but Jeff then breaks up the cover with a ‘Swanton bomb’. As the official tries to get him out of the ring, Christian nails Matt with the ring bell and Angle makes the cover for the win. He then sprints from the ring to go and help Benoit against Jericho as a bunch of officials are having no luck in separating them. Short TV match but nothing wrong with what we got here. The Edge & Christian heel personas are continuing to develop and they make a great trio with Kurt Angle (Christian being the unheralded glue to the team). Benoit’s interjection builds things nicely on the way to Judgment Day and their submission match. Really liked that ‘Swanton’ to break up the Northern Lights suplex.

Migs Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I loved the vignette here, a perfect use of their prior babyface run (plausible that people would ask for an autograph) to turn them heel (charge the fans and jump in front of the picture). The match itself suffers from the still too fast format of the TV shows, as they try to work a full match in 4 minutes. It's perfectly fun (also loved the Swanton to break the suplex), but begs for at least a few more minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
