On a recent episode of ‘E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness’, Edge had an interesting take on the upcoming match between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar. They will face off at the upcoming ‘Great Balls of Fire’ Pay-Per-View for the WWE Universal Title.

Edge thinks that WWE might have rushed the match. He says that he is a huge fan of Joe but he thinks WWE should have taken more time to build him up as a monster. If it was up to him, they would face off at Wrestlemania.
Here is what he said:
“You want my take? Here’s my take. I’m assuming that they wanna go Reigns and Brock at WrestleMania — I personally would have gone Brock and Joe at WrestleMania because it’s different. It is fresh, it is believable. You have this 300 pound Samoan you know, beast and then The Beast Incarnate. So I don’t know — I think that to me it would have been a fun match to get at WrestleMania and I think people would have been excited to see that too.”
He continued:
“But this is what bothers me about it. It just seems like everything is hot-shotted and not thought out far enough. Because if it were and you knew you were gonna go Brock/Joe — you don’t have him lose to Seth Rollins at the pay-per-view the month before. You have him win and just keep winning. Joe keeps barreling through people. And he can cheat, he can use heat, you know there’s nothing wrong with that — but have him keep winning. Have him build to Brock. Now — oh my god — which tells me they didn’t think far enough ahead. I don’t know, I’m just guessing but that’s what it seems like to me. Or you know what happened? You know, [Joe] dropped the match to Seth. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Build him up as a juggernaut to meet this other juggernaut and now [makes sound of a rocket falling] boo-ya, here we go.”
Can’t say that I disagree with him.
