Edge talks about his match at WWE Backlash

Edge was on the latest episode of the Busted Open Radio. During the show, his match at WWE Backlash came up. The Rated-R Superstar had a few words for the "experts" and critics of his match with Randy Orton.

"We had Backlash and I was happy with how that turned out. Contrary to the experts, it was not taped over seven or eight hours, it was once, straight through, and then we did four pick-up shots. I've seen people complain about the (under the rope) shot of the DDT. That's a total of two seconds, if that ruined the entire match for you then you have bigger issues. I get it, everyone needs something to complain about, but that was a huge test to see where I'm really at in this new incarnation of how I want to wrestle going forward. I know some of our audience is conditioned to 52 superkick, 82 flip matches. That's not going to be me. It was never me, but especially not now. I want the match where Bret Hart, Undertaker, and Gerald Brisco are gonna text me after. If that takes a re-education of the industry and fanbase, then so be it."

Edge further expanded on the pick-up shots, saying that he hated the idea, but Vince McMahon loved them.

"Those pick-up shots, I hated them, and it was my idea. I saw the first cut, without any of that in, and I was like, 'We don't need them,' but Vince loved it. I was like, 'Damnit, damnit, damnit, now they're going to be in there,'" (h/t Fightful.com)
