Edge was recently a guest on Corey Graves’ podcast, After the Bell. During the podcast, he spoke about his ‘Last Man Standing ‘match against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 36.
Specifically, he spoke about the criticism that the match has been receiving from some fans. This includes some people thinking that the match was too long.
Here is what Edge said (h/t to Cageside Seats for the quotes below):
“I’m very very proud of it. I’ve heard there’s feedback that it was too long…all of the feedback I’ve gotten personally to myself or to my social media feeds has been all positive. When I have Bret Hart call me and tell me that he loved it because it looked like a fight, well I don’t care what anybody else says from that point on, because his opinion to me has more weight than absolutely everyone anywhere. Nobody’s gonna top his opinion to me, and if he liked it, and he thought it was a fight, good, mission accomplished.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it’s wrestling, right? It’s art. It’s subjective, whatever blows your hair back. Randy and I have broad shoulders and we can weather the weight of a minuscule militia of malcontents who will just want to complain about everything. Complain about the length of a wrestling match during a pandemic? Really? Come on. But they are also the same people that are gonna complain that Bill and Brock go for four minutes. I just think there is a segment of people that enjoy not enjoying things and dwell on negatives, but I focus on positives.”
