Vince McMahon and the WWE really missed a golden opportunity by not capitalizing on the popularity and success of the ECW "One-Night Stand" PPV. In the past Vince and the rest of the behind-the-scenes brass have missed the opportunity on several storylines that could have been huge ratings grabbers and money-makers for the company (i.e. the WCW invasion angle, who actually ran over Stone Cold, etc.) There have been countless storylines and angles that have been destroyed or not taken advantage of over the years, but right now Vince and the WWE are sitting on a friggin' hot bed of an angle that could, if done properly be bigger than any other storyline going, and bigger than any angle they've had in recent years.

I am referring the whole Lita/Edge/Matt Hardy saga. Last night, Vince and the rest of the brass got a taste of what could be. When they played Matt Hardy's intro music during the whole "wedding segment" the crowd went absolutely nuts.

Yeah, I'll be the first to agree that for the first time in a long time I completely marked out last night when that music hit. I actually thought for a brief second that this was all some big storyline that duped us all. But, in the end it wasn't. To some degree I think that it was a low blow and a classless act. But, if Vince and the WWE capitalize on this, I believe that Edge, Lita, and Hardy can make a lot of money. This is a real life storyline, which could be placed on television and drawn out for months on in. And Edge and Matt Hardy could have some classic matches. Imagine a Survivor Series or even a Royal Rumble TLC Singles match between the two for the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship, should Edge finally win one of the two.

Obviously Matt Hardy has moved on. Reports are circulating that he currently has a new girlfriend, and Hardy has always been consummate professional in the business. I believe for the sake of business, that Hardy, Edge, and Lita could bury the hatchet and work together. If that were to happen, the possibilities of different matches and directions to take this feud would be absolutely endless.

As of now, they are portraying Kane as the returning monster, going back to his devilish and evil ways, as was mentioned in his promo last night, "I'm Back." I'm not sure of the best way to remove Kane from the angle other that having Snitsky get involved in their match at Vengeance at the end and maybe burning Kane. In this case, Kane could take some time off and come back with the mask...Say this is what does go down, you could leave Edge and Lita in the ring laughing and celebrating, when all of a sudden Matt Hardy's music hits...Again, he doesn't come out. At this point Lita and Edge are pointing and laughing at the TitanTron when the lights go dark - They then come back on with Hardy in the ring behind them..Yeah I know it's been done hundreds of time, but that would be classic..

But I'm just sitting here like every other wrestling fans, and wishful thinking. Hoping that Vince and the WWE could actually do something for once that would light a fire back under the fans and get us excited about the product again.

But the chances of this ever happening are defiantly slimmer than winning the lottery. But to end on a phrase that the WWE made so famous, "You never know what's going to happen in the WWE."

Thanks for reading and any and all feedback, negative and positive is welcome.
