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
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
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.
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!
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
@@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 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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
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 UA-camr. Always enjoy your content.
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. 🙄
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.
Rmr that time dolph shiggeler got injured and came out and tried t pull a sad moment and some sympathy like edge did….but instead it just came off really annoying and challenging
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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
Pointless storylines. Edge shows up on raw cause he feels like it, takes Kennedy’s briefcase, goes back to smackdown and wins the title. Why even have drafts. Wrestlers NEVER stay on the shows they are supposed to
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?
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.😁😁😁
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

I 100% agree
Don't leave out the Jeff Hardy feud, that was great
@@terrancecarmichael619 Thanks I forgot about that one. Edge vs Jeff feud was a must see
@@mbeas9612 Facts it definitely was
I hated Edge when he was on Smackdown! Looking back on it, he was an amazing heel.
Very nostalgic. Miss my childhood.
His world title reign was pretty good
It's unfortunate that it never got a proper ending.

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
As a fan of all three I never hated them both face and heel
Damn good memories, Edge was the man on Smackdown in 2007
I understand completely why u say ECW was a gem in 07-09
I remember i was pissed when taker lost the belt because he had it for a short run after a long 5 years without it.
Please make a video showcasing Tough Enough 1. You promised it for the longest time. Maybe do a video for seasons 2 and 3 somewhere down the line?
Do Batista second title reign
Thank you edge thank you 🙏 edge thank you 🙏
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.

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.

That's how wrestlers were developed especially in the 80s
Booker t did it in 5 !

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
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.

“Edge speared the main event push out of him” Lmaoo that was hilarious 😂

Spot on
Edge made smackdown enjoyable during the early 2007
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
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
Edge still the best heel ever🐐
That was a classic call from Cole when Edge cashed in. One of his best.
WWE in 2007: the year of injuries
2007 probably my only good year next to 2008 except benoit tragedy
Can you cover edge and chris jericho in 2010?
Funfact : He was supposed to win WWE title in 2002/2003 but that didn't happen due to edge's injury
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
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
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 .
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.

Edge only talks good about triple h , they seem to be freinds. I think the rumors are bullshit
Because triple h is in charge of wwe he can’t say anything evryone knows triple h buries stars he had the reign of terror as well
Puddle of Mudd - Famous

Fuel - Gone
2 of the songs that described 2007 for me
Looking back from 2006-2008 batista had almost infinite title shots and it drove me nuts

Edge had a chunk of time where he carried the company product and image wise
We all hated edge when we were kids .... today he is one of the best and played a bad guy so good

I think everyone liked edge. Especially his spear
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.
wouldve been interesting if benoit was chosen instead of edge. if we are going by booking benoit wouldve been champ untill his passing.
Edge is one of my favorites. This run definitely made Edge a favorite of mine
Rmr that time dolph shiggeler got injured and came out and tried t pull a sad moment and some sympathy like edge did….but instead it just came off really annoying and challenging
I love this edge title reign at this time when I was a kid
4:20 he was called the ultimate opportunist when he won his first wwe title at the 2006 elimination chamber.
Dumb excuse to take MITB from Kennedy. They say he had a broken hand but a broken hand heals in a few months & had a year to cash in. Smh
I think Kane deserved a world title run back when it was a main event title.. around 03..04
Rob zombie not ozzy.. ozzy never did edge theme song
What a great time this was.
Smackdown was always more fun than Raw IMO
Your not wrong at all
Undertaker does not need a world championship the world title needs Undertaker
If I'm correct when the great Khali started his feud with Cena, he attacked edge and bunch of other people.
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!
Yeah back then talent loved going to Smackdown over Raw because of the "higher politics" that's why SD was the best...Less political bs
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

Triple H is so lame
Feels weird without background music ...
