Bruce Prichard On Whether Edge Refused To End The Undertaker’s WrestleMania Streak
Bruce Prichard discussed WWE WrestleMania 24 on the latest episode of Something To Wrestle podcast, including whether Edge refused to end The Undertaker’s streak.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On why Floyd Mayweather was presented as a face: “That Mayweather was a star. Mayweather was a megastar, didn’t matter whether they cheered him or booed him. They cared about him and they reacted to what he did. So, to traditional -— the experts, if you will, in the field of, ‘Oh wow he’s working with a heel, he’s got to be a heel.’ No, he’s working with a star and it’s two stars kind of colliding. One’s a giant, one’s a little tiny midget — Mayweather was a star. Big Show was a star.
“And when you think about the pairing of those two here, you have a seven foot giant and then you have a guy who’s maybe five eight. So, the most famous boxer in the world at this point in time and probably the best pure boxer that I’ve ever seen in my life and then you’ve got a giant. So, it was a great dichotomy it’s like ‘oh my God here’s Big Show and here’s Mayweather’ and they’re going eyeball to belly button.”
On whether Edge refused to end Undertaker’s Streak: “No. I know there was talk of Edge winning, yes. Every year that we would come up against the streak the question would be ‘is this the year?’ Do we have somebody that is worthy of ending the streak of the Undertaker and I think Edge was worthy of ending the streak. But, at the same time, I don’t think that it was the right time for the streak to end.
“So, while it was certainly discussed I don’t think anybody ever got to the point of ‘hey you know this is really an option on the table.’ Because, once it was discussed and the pros and cons laid out I think that the pros of not ending the streak outweighed the cons of ending the streak heavily.”
