3. Edge Replies To Triple H's "The Guy" Burial
It was during the constant and depressingly reductive de-push of Daniel Bryan that Triple H went to such lengths to bury that 'Yes' Man that he ended up dragging others into the vortex.
During a semi-infamous in-character rant on an October edition of Raw, 'The Game' name-checked Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and Edge as guys that were supposedly just like Bryan as the "B+ Player" Champions who couldn't be "the guy". As opposed to say, him.
'The Rated-R Superstar' got wind of them and responded via WWE.com, and got this largely-forgotten quality dig in at his expense before offering a few facts:
