18. Edges Birthday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNKAKkSJ_Q0 Edge and Christian are one of the most entertaining tag teams in WWE history. After winning the tag team titles at Wrestlemania 16, something changed for E & C. They ditched their trademark entrance through the crowd because they didnt want the fans to be able to touch them anymore. This was of course the start of a heel run, and a beautiful one at that. Edge and Christian became a cocky pro wrestling version of Bill and Ted or Dude Wheres My Car, who charged their adoring fans money for photos. And in a genius move, to make up for not walking through the audience anymore, they instead set aside 5 seconds before each match for the benefit of those with flash photography. I could have chosen a number of great E & C moments, but in the end there was one that was a lot more memorable than the rest. On this night in October 2000, Edge was celebrating his birthday and the boys had the night off with their buddy Kurt Angle. Kurt however was preoccupied with the health of a sickly Stephanie McMahon, but Edge and Christian remained oblivious. Christian presented his brother with what everyone wants for their birthday, a kazoo! What followed was the epitome of why Edge and Christian were so funny as a team and also how great an addition Kurt Angle was to their already effective repertoire.
