So I have finished watching this week's friday night Smackdown, and when the announcement was made that Edge and Christian were to reunite for the first time in ten years, I was very intrigued. In my opinion, the Smackdown storylines and characters were alway less interesting than their Monday Night Raw counterpart after the first WWE Draft, but the show was given a great opportunity to really capitalize on the nostalgia factor here and they did nothing with it. There were a few problems with how this reunion was treated. First off they did not enter together to their old music. This should be a no brainer, but this simple idea seemed to escape the creative team of the WWE. Second, they did not do ONE double team move, no con-chair-to, not even a double suplex, they were pretty much fighting their own matches. The third problem I found was that none of the old charming aspects of the Edge and Christian tag-team were used. No kazoo's no pose time for all those with flash photography, Hell I would have even settled for Gangrel being in their corner. WWE was given something special to use and like they have done so many times in the past, ruined it.
