That was a good video. A shame Edge's first run on SmackDown never had a satisfying ending. I heard he was gonna feud with Rey in the fall and perhaps hold the title until WM 24. As a kid, I never really hated anyone as much I did with Edge so this video brought good memories. What did you think of this title run?
Edge's run on Smackdown was truly memorable. He was the biggest heel of SD and also had classic feuds with Undertaker and Batista. Edge is one of the greatest Smackdown stars of all time thanks to this run
I remember watching Edge relinquish that World Title on Smackdown and as a 9-year old I couldn't help myself but cry, even though I hated him back then. Just the look of his face was enough for me.
Edge, Batista, Taker made that world heavyweight title and smackdown awesome between 2006-2008. Too me those are some underrated years for Smackdown that nobody really talks about.
I was in highschool away from my family and had access to a satellite. But I enjoyed Smackdown during this era after not following wrestling for a few years.
@@Seraph89_ i remember this sd era because my grandpa used to love it and i use to watch it with me and thinking back it wasn't so bad. I think it was better then RAW at the time since those years were the years Cena started to take over
@@fightromeofight2352 Yeah I think it was better than Raw too, mainly in 08 and 09 when Raw had no GM and celebrity guest hosts it felt dry and weird. Outside of Cena and Orton it was kinda dead, while Smackdown had Edge, Hardy, Taker, Triple H and quite a few others.
Edge is my favourite heel of all time tbvh the guy made the World Heavyweight Title look like a billiin bucks with his heel antics and his in ring work was also amazing
@@aldouscoroza Right, I genuinely hated him in 08 and 09 as a kid when he feuded with Jeff Hardy on Smackdown because I didn't realize all he was doing was playing a great heel and not actually selfish and inconsiderate.
I was a huge batista fan as a kid I use to mimick his entrance all the time I couldn't stand edge but as I got older and looked back I realized how badass he is
It would have been cool to see him feud with Matt Hardy. An extension of their rivalry from 2005 or another context for that to have happened [since Lita was already retired] would be cool for the bookings!
Although I didn't watch WWE in 2007, I enjoyed the ruthless aggression era back in the day since I started watching in 2006. The vibes of the roster in those years were brought back when I played SvR 2008!
Injuries in 2007 so many top guys got injured. January: Triple H April: Undertaker he continued until May. May: Shawn Michaels July: Bobby Lashley October: John Cena Batista vs Undertaker Cage Match was great and Edge cashed in that was good. Smackdown needed a top heel. Batista was in most of world champion matches. Batista and Randy Orton didn’t get injured in 07 that’s good news. I like WWE in 2007 was it great? No. I thought it was good just too many bad things and most people remember the bad over the good. You’re an awesome TH-camr. Always enjoy your content.
This made Edge's career. I remember everyone at school said the Undertaker lost the title on Wednesday and I had to see it to believe it on Friday. If they taped Smackdown on Tuesdays they should have aired them on Tuesday.
Honestly Mr. Kennedy would of been a good world heavyweight champion, but overall I love the match edge had with Chris Benoit on smack down to me that had to be the best last match Chris Benoit had before doing what he did couple weeks later.
Yooo i was there when edge cashed in me and my dad were getting ready to leave as the cage came up and then "on this dayyy" the pop was loud as hell irl and I geeked tf out for it
Honestly think Seth Rollins should’ve been more like the ultimate opportunist gimmicks , I felt like this gimmick was perfect when WWE had to switch plans on a fly
7:51 This tells you everything you need to know about born-again Michaels. Here HHH was hellbent on burying Edge (World Title prestige be damned) while HBK has no interest in burying Smackdown's world champion. Wow, Hunter, WOW. 🙄
Edge is the reason why i started loving heels more. I loved heel HBK and Heel Bret Hart as a kid but Edge definitely was the only heel i love besides Randy Orton!
A lot of people don’t realize this but Edge held every tilte that was possible to hold during his time and did everything in wwe 7x world heavyweight champion 4x wwe champion international champion u.s champion wwe tag team champion world tag team champion and he held both the tag team championship with Chris Jericho also won 2 royal rumble won 2 money in the banks and won a king of the ring he really did it all he the only wrestler to really win everything some guys are grand slam champion but they don’t win both world title or they don’t win both tag team championship when there was 2 edge only guy to win all the tiltes a living legend
Seeing that cash in on Undertaker, at the time live on tv, one of the best things ever on Smackdown, I was so mad when I saw it, looking back, chef's kiss. That L on Raw to Shawn tho made sense, Edge was always having an advantage in order to get a win during this time, it made booking sense. Regardless if we(I) thought it was wack.
Yup. I was looking to see if someone else commented this before I did. He earned that moniker after winning the first ever money in the bank and cashing in on Cena. I miss the way wrestling used to be.
Edge won the World title on my 12th birthday and I had a birthday party with a bunch of my friends, we watched this match and were just distraught at Edge beating Taker. Dude was a once in a generation heel!
The reason edge mentioned the great khali in his promo is because a few weeks before that khali attacked edge and a few other guys backstage in a build up for his title match against John cena at judgment day
The Batista vs Undertaker Steel Cage match was one of the first wrestling matches I saw. My friend from school was with me and explaining about their rivalry. I remember when Mark Henry and Edge appeared he was fuming lol
I was at a house show when Kali was champion. He fought Rey Mysterio JR. Rey looks so small on tv but he’s built like a champion IRL. I believe Rey won that night. And he may have become the actual Champion within that year or within a few months.
@@uainjansun if you’re counting the house show, no. I believe house shows are meant to show things they normally can’t. Or to test the waters to see how fans react to different things.
Different year but I Always wondered how the tag team of him and Jericho from the bash in 2009 would’ve been like. I believe he was injured during a house show the next day
Why is WP calling Edge's DDT finisher the Impaler DDT not the Edgecution?? I know Impaler DDT is the original name but when its edge its the Edgecution. Btw not hate to WrestlingsPremier

I liked the reign, even tho I hated Edge but the injury curse continued on SD. Him and takers could’ve had a lengthy reign
So many plans were thrown out the window in 07 that I just wonder what it was originally gonna be like.
Edge is one of my favorites. I loved this reign, it’s one of my favorites, even if it ended abruptly
It was pretty good as it was we all wish should’ve been longer but Yk shii happens
😄😄😄Exactly what you think of this title run.😁😁😁
Edge's run on Smackdown was truly memorable. He was the biggest heel of SD and also had classic feuds with Undertaker and Batista. Edge is one of the greatest Smackdown stars of all time thanks to this run
I 100% agree
Don't leave out the Jeff Hardy feud, that was great

It wasn't underrated 2005 to 2008 was smackdon second peak behind 2002 to 2004
Batista in every PPV of 2007 was in a match involving the world title.
Except the No Way Out tag match
I mean he was one of the faces of the company soo 🤷🏽♂️
He was a big star in 2007 and expert for No Way Out 2007 that was tag team match
@@blankslate27 cause he was world champ
@@tydukes301 he is the second big name behind cena
Edge definitely lived up to the name: went from a tag team and singles champion to world champion in 7 years ❗️❗️
That's how wrestlers were developed especially in the 80s
Booker t did it in 5 !
@@growing.grounds4054 lol 5 time!
“Edge speared the main event push out of him” Lmaoo that was hilarious 😂
Edge is my favourite heel of all time tbvh the guy made the World Heavyweight Title look like a billiin bucks with his heel antics and his in ring work was also amazing
I hated Edge when I was a kid. Simply put, he played the role of a heel very convincingly.
You and I both, I hated Edge in 2007 and in 2006, he played the Heel so Damn Well
@@aldouscoroza Right, I genuinely hated him in 08 and 09 as a kid when he feuded with Jeff Hardy on Smackdown because I didn't realize all he was doing was playing a great heel and not actually selfish and inconsiderate.
@Versatile Wolf i liked edge as soon as he got on tv and i liked jeff wimp
Yeah I absolutely loathed Edge when I was younger because I was a Hardy Boys fan. As an adult I love to see him work.
@Versatile Wolf lol who hurt you my guy?
That was a classic call from Cole when Edge cashed in. One of his best.
I'm not going to lie when that happened I was angry as hell as a kid because Undertaker was one of my favorite wrestlers
+The Charm City Player, Brandon Ace
Me too.
Was?
Edge became an 11 time world champion in a span of 5 years. What a legend
Nope he is 9x smackdown world champion
On raw he is 2x wwe champion so 11x champion u right sorry
@@edgeisthegoatnah he’s a 4 time wwe champion and 7 time world heavyweight champion
Could you imagine MRRRR KENNEDDDYYY As world champ 👌🏻
He was so damn close to it. I think he would've been like The Miz. Overshadowed.
@@wrestlingspremier I wish it happened
I remember watching this episode. Cole sold it well.. “NOT THIS WAY! DAMN IT.” I miss that Smackdown and that cash in is my 2nd favorite
Cole’s voice was a little raspy
Fun times indeed! I remember it too, it's cool to have seen such a memorable moment live.
Lol i heard JRS voice when when you wrote "NOT THIS WAY! DAMMIT!"
@@satoshiogstronghandnakamot8879 Raw had Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, Smackdown had Tazz/JBL and has Michael Cole
As a Batista fan, man I hated Edge as a kid.
I didn’t like Batista at this time lol. I didn’t like edge but I was cheering for him to avoid Batista or beat him.
Same but I cheered both but I cheered edge more!, He deserved to win mitb 2007
I was a huge batista fan as a kid I use to mimick his entrance all the time I couldn't stand edge but as I got older and looked back I realized how badass he is
Always have been Batista fan and that time I hated edge during feud with Batista & cena
As an Edge fan, I hated Batista. Mostly because he was boring though
Speaking of opportunity, can you do when Johnny Nitro stole the ECW Championship from CM Punk at the last minute and became John Morrison?
I feel that’s too sensitive of a subject given what happened the night before
Very nostalgic. Miss my childhood.
This title reign was very underated. I thought he could have feuded with matt hardy, mark henry, mvp and hell even finlay.
I can imagine a Chamber match involving those guys. Shame we never got to see the entire thing play out.
@@wrestlingspremier yeah and that no way out match. (2008) should have had kane and mark henry instead of khali and big daddy v
It would have been cool to see him feud with Matt Hardy. An extension of their rivalry from 2005 or another context for that to have happened [since Lita was already retired] would be cool for the bookings!
& Taker at WM for WHC
Edge is one of my favorites. This run definitely made Edge a favorite of mine
Edge made smackdown enjoyable during the early 2007
Edge still the best heel ever🐐
I love this edge title reign at this time when I was a kid
Although I didn't watch WWE in 2007, I enjoyed the ruthless aggression era back in the day since I started watching in 2006. The vibes of the roster in those years were brought back when I played SvR 2008!
His world title reign was pretty good
It's unfortunate that it never got a proper ending.
Looking back from 2006-2008 batista had almost infinite title shots and it drove me nuts
Injuries in 2007 so many top guys got injured.
January: Triple H
April: Undertaker he continued until May.
May: Shawn Michaels
July: Bobby Lashley
October: John Cena
Batista vs Undertaker Cage Match was great and Edge cashed in that was good.
Smackdown needed a top heel.
Batista was in most of world champion matches.
Batista and Randy Orton didn’t get injured in 07 that’s good news.
I like WWE in 2007 was it great? No. I thought it was good just too many bad things and most people remember the bad over the good.

WWE in 2007: the year of injuries
2007 probably my only good year next to 2008 except benoit tragedy
This made Edge's career. I remember everyone at school said the Undertaker lost the title on Wednesday and I had to see it to believe it on Friday. If they taped Smackdown on Tuesdays they should have aired them on Tuesday.
Back then Smackdown was tape on Tuesdays but aired on Fridays.
Poor Mr Kennedy he lost his Mitb contract for a bad diagnostic
That week they told him that it was a minor injury. Unlucky.
@@wrestlingspremier and then he gets fired because of angry Orton
@@knowyourroleproductions7388 and angry cena
Can you cover edge and chris jericho in 2010?
4:20 he was called the ultimate opportunist when he won his first wwe title at the 2006 elimination chamber.
Honestly Mr. Kennedy would of been a good world heavyweight champion, but overall I love the match edge had with Chris Benoit on smack down to me that had to be the best last match Chris Benoit had before doing what he did couple weeks later.
Yeah it's actually one if my favourite matches I believe it was the main event on SmackDown .
I miss WWE in 2007 when I was a kid, the year I started watching wrestling and the time I was an Edge fan when he was a heel that time
Puddle of Mudd - Famous
&
Fuel - Gone
2 of the songs that described 2007 for me
Edge had a chunk of time where he carried the company product and image wise
What a great time this was.
Edge is my favorite heel of all time, and 2006-2008 are big reason why. Him as the ultimate opportunist was so easy to hate.
We all hated edge when we were kids .... today he is one of the best and played a bad guy so good
I didn't
I think everyone liked edge. Especially his spear
Yooo i was there when edge cashed in me and my dad were getting ready to leave as the cage came up and then "on this dayyy" the pop was loud as hell irl and I geeked tf out for it
Damn this brings back Middle School memories 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Honestly think Seth Rollins should’ve been more like the ultimate opportunist gimmicks , I felt like this gimmick was perfect when WWE had to switch plans on a fly
Seth Rollins is a discount Edge
Broo i was so pissed when edge beat batista and undertaker for the world title man and hawkins and ryder got me i thought they were edge
can you do more TNA storyllines? Or maybe a video on Elijah Burke? I loved that guy. Great video!
That era was when i started watching. Best memories from that era

This was what was going on when I first started watching wrestling. I was shocked when edge won the tile. Good times
Lol I love how his character in Viking is the same as his wrestling character
Funfact : He was supposed to win WWE title in 2002/2003 but that didn't happen due to edge's injury
Damn good memories, Edge was the man on Smackdown in 2007
I wanna see this channel ready a million, someday!

wouldve been interesting if benoit was chosen instead of edge. if we are going by booking benoit wouldve been champ untill his passing.
I understand completely why u say ECW was a gem in 07-09
Edge had every kid hating his guts from 06-07
I think Kane deserved a world title run back when it was a main event title.. around 03..04
I was watching it consistently at this point
Hey Wrestlinggifs could you do video on the build up to TNA geneisis 2010 or turning point 09 heavyweight championship matches
When raw and smackdown were totally different from each other.
Can you do a video about HHH and Taker 2002
Edge was one of the best heels of his time
Edge came home to Smackdown after a 3 year vacation on Raw
This was the reign that truly made edge.
Feels weird without background music ...
Which better wwe championship run or world heavyweight champion
Can you do a Rey Mysterio vs Chavo Guerrero feud video
