solo con-chair-to

well, they finally did it. after what seems like years of rumors and speculation, edge and christian split.

was that not one of the best in-ring turns in a while? i mean, i saw it coming from a mile away. from the end of christian's match where he lost against the rock, you could see that he had a far-off look in his eye, and he was going to do something desperate and callous.

and i knew it was going to be something big.

although, i thought they might throw all of us a swerveball, and have christian re-enact the "hawk attempts suicide" angle. remember that one? the legion of doom's "hawk", after being replaced by droz, and under the influence of drugs (which, according to the storyline, where given to him by droz...) climbed the titantron, and then "fell".

and if christian had tried it, he might have not fallen down the backside. i mean, after some of the bumps that christian has taken in the various ladder matches he's been in these last 3 years or so, falling off the titantron onto a rigged area wouldn't be much different. i mean, shane-o-mac does that stuff all the time.

christian could have made it mean something.

anyhow, i'm rambling.

but i thought the e/c split last night went well.

even as christian stood over edge's prone body, and walked towards the back, he seemed like a different person.

it's going to be a great opportunity for him, and edge, to round out their characters, and try something new for a change.

ladies and gentlemen, the era of awesomeness is over.

Agreed.  Perfectly timed, executed and performed by both parties.  The camera work on the solo-con-chair-to really made it sound painful.

It's been brewing for so long that there are a million and one resources they can mine for this angle.  So many moments of glory for pretty boy Edge, but what about me?  WHAT ABOUT CHRISTIAN?

(BTW, Paul's "that's like my parents naming me 'Jew'" bit was hella funny)

Anyway, you're right about the shift in character.  Much more serious, much more violent.

This is gonna be fun.

yeah, i read an article on wrestleline, where somone likened the look in christian's eyes to the one that was in owen's some years ago, when he turned on bret.

wow, and to think: this whole angle turned  out to be one of the biggest flubs of the year, right behind the hardy's split...

well, i guess it's not totally over after their match on smackdown, and christian's reaction...
