Backstage news on why WWE have heat with Edge

[Crayo]

There is a lot of heat on Edge within WWE right now. WWE pretty much made another Legends deal offer to him when he worked the recent SmackDown tapings but he was not interested. Edge does not want to be locked into a WWE deal and wants to be able to do his own things. When WWE originally saw that Edge’s contract was ending, they offered him a Legends deal similar to what Shawn Michaels has but word is the money offered was a bit of an insult.

There is also some heat on Edge because of Beth Phoenix leaving. There’s a belief that she’s leaving in part to help him recover from neck surgery in November. Also, there are some people high up in the company that aren’t happy about his upcoming appearance for Tommy Dreamer’s House of Hardcore promotion.

Edge and WWE will most likely work together in the future but there is definitely the feeling within WWE that he’s sort of gone against them.

Fuck WWE and their sense of entitlement. HOW DARE EDGE WANT TO DO HIS OWN THING?!?! HE SHOULD ACCEPT OUR LEGENDS DEAL BECAUSE WE'RE WWE, DAMMIT!

 

[Hannah Bee]

Agreed. Edge has the right to do his thing.

 

[DarksideTrin]

No.... Not Beth......

(Sarcasm)

 

[Jose Tortilla]

His fault that Beth is leaving? :haha:

Look at how WWE is treating her..

 

[CM Punk]

If WWE would offer more...

 

[Bort]

I respect Edge much more after he retired, he proved he doesn't want to kiss Vince's rectum like certain former stars... Kudos, Adam!

 

[Snowman1]

Wait, they're mad that Beth is leaving to help Edge with his neck surgery? They're mad that Edge is pursuing a dream instead of sitting around waiting for his next gig?

That's the most selfish thing I've heard in a while. Die in a fire Vince.

 

[Leo C]

Silly reasons. The guy's retired, he should be doing something other than wrestling now, that's what he's done his entire life.

 

[Lockard 23]

He's gone 'against' them just because he's interested in doing other things at the moment? That's a very dominant and even somewhat childish way of looking at it. I guess WWE have this mentality where if you're with them, then you have to be with them for life. Rock suffered similar criticisms when he dared to leave wrestling to pursue another career he was interested in (one he's been quite successful at, good for him.)

 

[BrockLesnarFanForLife]

Why the hell is Vince getting shitty over Edge not wanting to be apart of WWE??? the guy cant wrestle no more so theres no point in him being in the company just to be stuck doing promos or something else that isnt worth his time

I stopped caring about Edge years ago. Hi return to Smackdown was refreshing, I will admit, but se don't need him to come around WWE often. He's got his own thing going on with that Haven show. WWE doesn't need Edge so idk why they've got their balls in a knot
