Trust those Canadian pranksters Edge and Christian to have the most fun with THQ's 'Road To WrestleMania' wall breaking. In SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, E&C spend the majority of their story thread ribbing the customer base and jibing that people are weird for playing video games.

Early on in the story, Edge starts yakking on about "the player", which confuses Christian. It isn't until Edge points at the camera and says, "You see that weirdo staring at us through the TV?" that his bud realises what's going on; he's obviously been in WWE far too long, and is therefore used to pretending cameramen aren't following him around.

Later in the mode, the pair continue having fun at the expense of gamers by saying, "Y'know, I wonder if that player dork thought you were gonna' hit me?" when it looks like Edge might waffle Christian with a steel chair and turn on him.

What a laugh.
