      Why do people act like that was a slam dunk from Heyman? For a guy known for his skills on the mic, I found that to be extremely weak.
      Did Edge get backstage heat for it or something? They made it a TV angle so it seems like Edge got his end wet then dipped out scot free

      @AlexYBITW Edge feuded with Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels, including getting a win over HBK at the RR, got paired with Lita, won the MITB, got a WHC title shot against Batista and feuded with Kane before Matt Hardy even came back to WWE. It's disingenuous to claim the Matt Hardy feud is what made him a main eventer. I even remember him telling Matt not make his return at his expensive and that, unlike him, he earned his main event stripes.
      The feud with Matt probably helped boost him further as a monster heel, but he was well on his way there without him.

Her being at home with a career-threatening injury while Matt continued to remain on the road contributed to the loneliness that she felt which led to her infidelity.

    It's weird to think this all happened nearly 30 years ago, and everyone has moved on except for fans. It's an interesting study in "celebrity" psychology, because you KNOW that to this day, Edge, Lita, AND Matt all still get shit for this.
    That feud has been dead long enough to buy a beer in the afterlife.
    Yet they probably still get people daily saying how "Lita is a h0e", "Matt is a cuck", "Edge is a homewrecker"-
    When honestly, those three probably couldn't care less, not because anything that was done then was justified, but because that's how aging and life is. You ain't gonna be the same person in five years, nevermind ten or twenty.

    Nah, that wasn't a mistake, that was a conscience choice between 2 adults, willingly and knowingly accepting that they were willing to break another person's life apart.

    the thing is i never really realized that it was Edge who started the affair with Lita, not the other way around. He apperantly send some messages to Lita about loving her and stuff like that, and Matt found out and went insane obviously as every of us would (especially when it's your best friend). Seems like their is no heat there anymore for a long time, but it's something no proud men can ever get less angry about.

    That’s not a mistake though, it’s a choice. It’s definitely cool that they were able to move past it, but it was definitely his and her choice.

    Just imagine two adults working together after THAT real life issue.
    Meanwhile CM Punk really was working with children who weren't in a business to make money.
