>>18384033>but would you say the Matt feud catapulted him into a next level of stardom at least, lead to the live sex celebration and the full rated-r superstar and whatnot?Of course yeah. He was doing well as a heel in the programs he was working with Benoit and Michaels before it. But the shit with Matt got him next level heat no doubt. He absolutely benefited from it. Matt did too. Even Lita to an extent as well
>I know Foley also made him at WM22They made each other with that one. Foley felt he never had that defining WrestleMania match and that's what he said he got out of that one with Edge. Edge had a major chip on his shoulder because for all intents and purposes he should've worked something with Cena that Mania. But that match for sure helped legitimize him further
No one ever 'happens' in wrestling on their own. At the very least there's someone booking them the way they are. Then there's always people they worked with along the way or something that happens that elevates them. I wasn't trying to say the Matt stuff didn't help but it also wasn't the sole reason he ended up in the spot he did
