Nothing like a bit of support from your former superstars to put over a new championship belt. Thanks Edge.
Speaking on the most recent episode of Edge and Christian’s Pod of Awesomeness, the Rated R Superstar gave his opinion on the belt, and he didn’t hold back.
“I think it’s the ugliest championship ever created,” Edge stated. “I will start off by saying that. I will start off with the negatives. That thing is brutal; however, I think it’s great. I really do. I always thought the Hardcore title was fun. And I think, right now, programming, that’s exactly what it needs is fun because it was just a way to get characters that aren’t on the show necessarily all the time on the show and to show that they’ve got some character.
“So a guy like Bobby Roode, who’s super talented, he’s all of these things, but you can show that he’s an entertaining guy. I just think it’s a really good opportunity for a lot of people. You look and see Crash Holly and Jerry Brisco, like, all of these people back when it was the Hardcore title, that made it fun.”
Edge continued:
“I remember that whole thing fondly. I was never involved in it at all, but I remember always wanting to watch it, and see what they were going to do, and to also just to come up with fun stuff. I think that’s what it boils down to. And most importantly, it gets some people into the mix, and on the show, that maybe aren’t getting that opportunity.”
Christian was less negative, but didn’t exactly heap praise on the design.
“It’s one of those ones too where you’ll get used to it and then you won’t mind,” Christian stated. “It was like that before with the Intercontinental Championship before this [current] one, right? I was like, ‘oh, why did they change it?’ And then, you just kind of got used to it.”
