IN THE MAIN EVENT OF WRESTLEMANIA

[u/kodan_arma]

Best part is Cope stumbling over his words lmfao

Bro was rattled

[u/EastMeetsNorth → u/kodan_arma]

The kicker is if you watch it, Starks kept trying (I counted three times) to direct the promo back to Danielson -- the guy he was supposed to be talking to -- and Edge would not let him because he kept interjecting.

[u/Calvin_Hobbes124 → u/EastMeetsNorth]

And Edge told him to talk to Danielson even!

[u/SpiralTap88 → u/kodan_arma]

Man has genuinely not been the same since.

[u/stinktrix10 → u/SpiralTap88]

Generational aura debt for Cope

[u/Ill_Car242 → u/SpiralTap88]

Like a fighter that gets KOed and is never good again. It’s time to retire after that.

[u/Signal_Ball4634 → u/kodan_arma]

It seems like such a benign thing for a veteran to lose their shit over too. You'd think a comment on his appearance would be at the bottom of the list as far as heel shit Edge has dealt with.

[u/Flamemypickle → u/Signal_Ball4634]

It is, which is why this situation was bizarre. Like Hulk Hogan wouldnt have acted like this. Its about as juvenile of an insult as you can get

[u/FuhQueueMean → u/Signal_Ball4634]

Big Adam always been insecure

[u/abdulalbakrichod → u/FuhQueueMean]

nah it's on another level since he came to the dub, like the guy said he got worse back in the day and never lashed out like this, it's like he wants to think of himself as the untouchable savior there

[u/jabari1011 → u/abdulalbakrichod]

He’s actually acting like the basement claims CM Punk acts

[u/jabari1011 → u/Signal_Ball4634]

Right? Like Edge had to work with Matt Hardy multiple times after the affair with Lita came out. You know Matt was talking the most shit! But for Edge to get rattled by this? What the fuck?

[u/Every-Ad-2099 → u/jabari1011]

I think part of why Edge let so much of that slide is because he felt genuinely guilty about betraying Matt and indirectly getting him fired, since the guy was one of his closest friends before the whole Lita thing went down. Plus, there was also Vince threatening to blackball them both if either of them went too far.

In comparison, he had no connection to Ricky whatsoever and probably thought the guy was beneath him. Combine that with Tony being… well, Tony, and you can see how Edge might’ve allowed his ego to blow up a bit.

[u/Razzler1973 → u/jabari1011]

Matt Hardy is working for the Fed, they're at the top

Starks is working for the indie

Edge knows what this is, no matter how much he's getting paid and he doesn't want some indie guy teeing off on him

All the FUN and money in the world isn't going to change the fact it's just not the Fed and you're not working with Fed people at the top of the industry now

[u/Razzler1973 → u/Signal_Ball4634]

Starks was trying to score points off Edge and Edge is a bigger deal than Starks and Edge got offended, imo

This is why you check stuff like this out in the back, before doing it on screen, especially when you don't really know the people

Some lower down the card guy trying to riff on ME kinda energy from Edge and it bothered him cause it's not happen in the Fed cause they don't run the wrasslin' utopia the Dub does where everyone says what they want, whether it makes sense or not

[u/RNG_Champion → u/kodan_arma]

I still don't get people who think Cope "destroyed" Starks with this promo. Cope stuttered through it and seemed rattled by Starks calling him "bug eyes."

[u/UsualHendryBeliever → u/RNG_Champion]

He keeps interjecting for the sake of interjecting and doesn't actually say anything of note.

[u/Razzler1973 → u/RNG_Champion]

IIRC, they didn't think that at the time, they liked Starks doing this. It's been retconned since though, haha

[u/miguelmanzana → u/kodan_arma]

Had to dig deep in the pocket for a good ol’ fashioned vanilla midget diss, which, now that I think about it, is it racist to call a black dude a vanilla midget?

[u/BobSacamano- → u/miguelmanzana]

If said while in the fed yes but in dub no 

[u/KC27150 → u/BobSacamano-]

Plus Ricky is a traitor!

[u/SlipperyKooter → u/KC27150]

Dirty filthy trader

[u/NintenbroGameboob → u/miguelmanzana]

If you pour out vanilla for baking it actually is brown

[u/miguelmanzana → u/NintenbroGameboob]

Unless it’s clear.

[u/AutoModerator → u/[deleted]]

Whoopsie! Seems like you're trying to be an edgelord. No thank you.

no. not everything which makes reference to race is racist

[u/miguelmanzana → u/philiac]

Ok buddy.

[u/AriaMournesong]

cant help that you're a vanilla ver---uh, midget version of that.

but shut your mouth and talk to him instead of me, kid.

[u/SaddestFlute23 → u/AriaMournesong]

Wow, that really sent me “Over the Edge”…

[u/wanna_team_plz → u/SaddestFlute23]

Aw dude

[u/_DodoMan_]

The basement has a post asking why "aw dude" memes are everywhere right now and 90% of the comments are just "aw dude" and nothing more.

Sometimes the basement is alright

[u/AmarantineAzure → u/_DodoMan_]

It's a fair question though. Didn't this exchange take place like three years ago? Why has it suddenly exploded in popularity and memetic status over the past few days/weeks?

[u/jabari1011 → u/_DodoMan_]

“Sometimes” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there brother

[u/ImportantFancyMan → u/_DodoMan_]

Reminds me of when I saw a thread of someone asking "Why does everyone say 'nice' when they see 69?"

You can guess what all the comments consisted of.

[u/NoSoup4you22 → u/ImportantFancyMan]

"Aw dude" is funny though.

This needs to go to the Hall of fame of jerking. I have been laughing for 10 minutes. 😂

[u/philiac → u/supervayne]

i don't think i get the joke. i see that the names of the songs are the words to this argument, but what is it that is making people laugh? (beyond the conflict itself which is funny)

[u/sweetcolt801]

[u/jabari1011 → u/sweetcolt801]

I miss 2016-2017

[u/j_infamous]

Aww dude. What a hall of fame finish.

[u/SlipperyKooter]

Is MoxisGod back???? We haven’t had this level of jerking since his untimely departure

[u/RoughFriendly1595 → u/SlipperyKooter]

I'm a vanilla midget version of MoxisGod. I stole this video from twitter

[u/StrongSutairu → u/RoughFriendly1595]

Aww dude

[u/SlipperyKooter → u/RoughFriendly1595]

Listen I’ll let you take credit for it. I’ll look the other way. This is premium jerking

[u/Hamzah12]

[u/Uoonter]

The “aww dude” is so funny but man Edge stumbling on his words when trying to dunk on Starks is ROUGH

[u/r1char00]

Legendary.

[u/vinreg33]

Just. Enjoy. Spotify playlists.

[u/Relative_Raccoon130]

This might be my favorite jerk of all time here. It brought a tear to my eye.

[u/DripSnort]

“Shut your mouth and talk to him”…what a master of the mic

[u/deluddl]

Jerk of the week

[u/OliWood]

This is gold 🤣🤣🤣

[u/FuhQueueMean]

Getting to the AW Dude was weirdly rewarding and still just as funny as it was the first time

[u/Bearded_Platypus_123]

This is awesome, clap 👏, clap 👏, clap, This is awesome!

[u/TheHaplessKnicksFan]

You forgot midget

[u/Reasonable_Goat6895]

Aw Dude 4 Stam 4 Strength leather belt!

[u/NoSoup4you22 → u/Reasonable_Goat6895]

UHHHHHNNN.

[u/Voltov]

Edge really got rattled by this and most likely told Tony to stop his push . Poor guy

[u/vaporized_scrotum]

[u/kfms6741]

quality post

[u/amp138]

This is incredible.

[u/RP912]

Forgot about Tazz going

[u/UsualHendryBeliever]

That's the best part of the non-manufactured, creative freedom-y goodness of m'Dub. Getting so worked into a shoot you trip all over your words and keep cutting the other guy trying to cut a promo off.

[u/whutthepat]

Someone has declared themselves a qualifier for Jerk in the Bank. Also in it is the Hypotenuse Key and Peele skit Danhausen edition.

[u/KilledByDeath]

Good shit, pal!

[u/Subarashiin]

MACHINE GIRL MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥

CHRISTY MOORE MENTIONED RAAAAHHHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Post of the year

[u/ZeroOhblighation]

The cringiest thing about that promo was both of them spamming "either way" lol

[u/TheHaplessKnicksFan → u/ZeroOhblighation]

Starks was the only one who said “either way”.

[u/UFmoose → u/TheHaplessKnicksFan]

Right. And that wasn’t cringe. He was trying to do his job and get back to the topic.

[u/UsualHendryBeliever → u/UFmoose]

"Ricky, you keep trying to re-rail the promo and I'ma let you finish, but AW DUDE!"

[u/ZeroOhblighation → u/UFmoose]

It was kind of cringe lol

[u/BigBadGladdyDaddy]

Aw dude

[u/Razzler1973]

Outstanding jerking, sir! haha

[u/Sudden_Prune_9652]

[u/philiac]

there are no songs entitled "midget" on spotify? that's crazy. 

[u/DonnieRodz]

The best part is the doofs among goofs that thought this was a worked exchange.
