WWE booked Edge and Randy Orton into a corner by dubbing their Backlash bout the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" before it had even happened. Despite that ludicrous hype, the duo combined to butt heads and put on an exhaustive display that really deserved a live audience.

In fairness, they wouldn't have been able to pause the action had that been the case.

This was a proving ground for Edge. It was a showcase of his rejuvenation, and he had a trusty veteran like Orton to bounce off of. WWE should be ashamed for putting so much pressure on their shoulders, but both guys should be incredibly proud of how hard they worked to make this 44-minute fight scene so epic.

Best Bit: Edge proving he could hang all over again.

Worst Bit: Again, the length might turn some people off.
