10 Wrestlers Who Got Pissed Off At Critics

10. Edge

"But Bret Hart liked it!" should be a sound defence, but it wasn't. Bret Hart liked the Iron Man match from WrestleMania XII.

The Edge Vs. Randy Orton Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36 was interminable. It was 40 minutes of gratuitous and dull violence to which c*ck and ball torture would have been preferable, and if that reads as kink-shaming, that wasn't the intention. Unless your kink is the Edge Vs. Randy Orton Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36. Then you should be ashamed. It was - again - 40 minutes of gruelling, enervating punishment, a sterile parody of a grudge match that took itself so seriously that nobody else could.

Dingy non-atmosphere; harrowing sounds of harsh metallic twangs as bone collided with metal; f*cking echoes of Chris Benoit's suicide: on the least WrestleMania-feeling WrestleMania ever, this was antithetical to the spirit of the occasion. This was antithetical to how wrestling should function - it looked like it really, really hurt, and it wasn't remotely entertaining - and it was antithetical to good.

Somewhat understandably, since he had the sh*t beaten out of him for 40 minutes, Edge seethed at the negative reaction on Corey Graves' After The Bell podcast.

"Complain about the length of a wrestling match? Really? But they’re also the same people who are gonna complain that Bill [Goldberg] and Brock [Lesnar] go for four minutes, so I just think there’s a segment of people who enjoy not enjoying things and dwell on negatives," he said.

The Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar match from WrestleMania 33 ruled.

Edge Vs. Randy Orton literally drooled when Orton tried to strange Edge with gym equipment.
