You Think You Know Me ? The Story of Edge Blu Ray Review

You Think You Know ........ Edge : Blu Ray Review


One of the greatest superstars of the 21st Century . The Rated R Superstar . The Ultimate Opportunist . Edge . Finally he gets the documentary he's deserved for a long time . Edge's sudden departure from the WWE in April 2011 , has left a hole in our hearts for quite sometime . He holds the record for the most title reigns in WWE history . 11 World Titles , 5 IC Titles , and 14 Tag Titles . He's also a former King of the Ring and a Royal Rumble winner . He's done it all , even main evented Wrestlemania . And now he is a hall of famer , and , without a doubt , deserves it .


Isn't it strange how Canadian wrestlers seem to have the best documentaries ?  I would put this documentary on par with Chris Jericho's . Amazing to see his career blossom and then suddenly end . Fantastic documentary . 9/10



Disc 1 Matches :



Adam Impact vs Christian Cage
Needless to say , thank god Edge didn't keep the name Adam Impact . It's pretty awful . This is taped from an independent wrestling show in South Indian Lake . Edge looks strange without full length wrestling tights . Some nice innovative offence and Edge has a lot of high flying skills at this point . Good match ! **3/4



Edge & Christian vs T&A vs The Hardy Boyz vs Too Cool
From King of the Ring 2000 and elimination rules apply . Too Cool's tag titles were on the line . T & A out quite quickly after a swanton from Jeff . Hardys are out after an unprettier from Christian . This match was a lot of fun by the end with the final two teams , but E & C manage to get the cheating win as Christian hits Sexay with the title belt to win . ***




Eddie Guerrero vs Edge : No DQ
Now here is a classic match . Easily one of the best matches in Smackdown and in TV history . It could also , arguably , be Edge's best singles match of his career . Just awesome stuff with a great ending as Edge hits the edgecution off a ladder to get the win . After the match , Eddie gets a nice standing ovation from the fans . ****1/2



Edge vs Randy Orton
IC title is on the line , and this isn't the match from the Vengeance PPV . This took place after it and was Orton's attempt to regain the title . They really got the fans invested in this one . It was like a shorter version of their PPV match and that was a good thing . Great little TV match here . Edge gets the leverage pin to retain the belt . ***3/4





Edge vs Matt Hardy : Loser Leaves Raw Ladder Match
This was the last match in their infamous rivalry over Lita/Amy Dumas . It was a short match but they managed to get a lot of stuff in there . Edge gets the win and stays on Raw after throwing Matt off the briefcase and onto the ring ropes . ***1/4




John Cena vs Edge : TLC Match
Cena here in his first ever ladder match . This was in Edge's hometown so obviously the fans were crazy for him to win . This was such a fantastic TLC match with a great story and great action . The finish left me speechless and worried for Edge's health . Cena wins back his WWE Championship after giving Edge an F-U off the top of a ladder and through two tables ! ****1/4

Disc 2 Matches :



Edge vs Shawn Michaels : Street Fight 
This is the second Street Fight these guys havehad against each other on Raw . This was a really good match with good use of weapons . Edge wins after Orton interferes and gives HBK an RKO . I would say that the first street fight is better , but this one is still up there as a great Raw match . ***1/2




Edge vs The Undertaker
This is one of my favourite Wrestlemania matches . This is probably the best of the Edge/Taker series of matches and that is saying something . Great back and forth match worthy of the main event of Wrestlemania  . Undertaker wins another world title and goes 16-0  after making Edge submit to the hell's gate submission . This is my pick for Edge's best singles match . ****1/2



Edge vs Christian
This is the Pick Your Poison match , as Randy Orton chose Edge's opponent for this one . It's a shame that these two never got to have another singles match against each other after this , because this match shows that it would've been a great feud . Edge hits the spear to win the match . ***1/4




Edge vs Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio vs Kane : TLC Match
Originally this was supposed to be Edge/Kane , so thankfully they realised that wouldn't have been very good and added Rey and Del Rio . This was a great match and was almost as good as the Morrison/Sheamus match earlier in the night . Matt Striker makes a mistake by saying the first TLC match was at No Mercy 1999 even though it was at Summerslam 2000 . Cole also makes a mistake by saying Kane has never been in a TLC match even though he won one . Seriously , hire better commentators . The match is just a lot of fun though . Edge splashing Kane through a table was amazing . After Edge spears Kane off the apron and through a table , he climbs the ladder to grab his tenth world title . ***3/4










Kane vs Drew McIntyre vs Wade Barrett vs Big Show vs Rey Mysterio vs Edge : Elimination Chamber
This is one of the best ever chamber matches , if not the best . I loved the little mini-storylines going through the match like Edge/Drew and Show/Wade . This match was entertaining throughout and was never boring . The ending was especially great and was very unpredictable . Edge and Rey started things off which is always great . Wade enters the chamber . Next up it's Kane . Kane really cleans house . Drew is in next and launches Rey at a pod ! He also makes Barrett crash through one ! He is really stealing the show here . Show enters the match . He makes Wade crash through another pod ! Wade eliminated after a WMD . Show is eliminated after everyone hits their finisher on him . Drew eliminated after a chokeslam . Kane eliminated after a 619 and a spear . He decides to chokeslam both guys before leaving . Either guy could win here since Del Rio took out Edge's best friend Christian , and Mysterio has a history with him . So intense and exciting . So many nearfalls . Rey kicks out of the spear ! Edge kicks out of the 619 ! As Rey dives off the top rope , Edge spears him and retains his title . ****1/2




Edge vs Alberto Del Rio
Kinda sucks that in the last two Wrestlemanias , the World title has started off the night . Hot match that would end up being Edge's final ever match in WWE . That alone makes it historic . Great match to start the night off and end Edge's career with . ***1/2



Blu Ray Exclusives :



Edge vs Jeff Hardy : No DQ 
From Royal Rumble 2009 . Jeff's short first WWE Title reign came to it's abrupt end on this night . This match started off the Hardy vs Hardy feud so Edge was kind of second fiddle here , despite the fact that he became the new champion . Good match here . ***1/4



Edge Announces his Retirement from Raw - April 11 2011

Edge Appreciation Night after Smackdown - September 13 2011




9/10 . Excellent set here . The documentary is worth the price alone , but the extra matches really seal the deal . I know there are a few repeats here , but most are necessary considering they are defining moments in his career . Overall , get this set while it's cheap !
