Edge and Orton: Ultimate Heels' Guide To Success

When it comes to opportunities, Randy Orton and Edge are two guys who have the keen sense to seeing it.

Edge just seems to have that instinct to see an opportunity when it’s presented to him. 

At Backlash, he was presented with the opportunity to take the title from Cena when all of a sudden Big Show shows up and drops Cena on the huge stage light.  He then instructed the ref to start counting. 

Of course Cena couldn’t answer to the ten count, and alas, Smackdown has the WHC title belt back.

This of course, isn't the first time we've seen him do that.  He probably won all his titles from circumstances like this.  And you can be sure this isn't the last time either.  He isn't called Ultimate Opportunist for nothing after all.

Orton, on the other hand, has that similar instinct as was shown on the No Disqualification Match he had on the Raw episode prior to backlash, when he RKO’d The Game after being distracted by the melee outside the ring. 

But last night’s Backlash showed something else too.  It’s not just the keen sense of seeing opportunities, it’s the knack for creating one. We saw him run backstage and made us think what a wuss he is. (Well I didn’t think that, I knew he had some kind of plan.)  And then at an opportune time, he came back out and attacked The Animal.

And then the rest of Legacy joins in.  And it’s a feast.  Like a pack of wolves taking a bite out of a carcass.  They did same thing with Shane O’Mac.

And then of course, the game finishing (pardon the pun) RKO, and punt to the head that turned Hunter over as if he belonged to the Cirque d’ Soleil, as he was again distracted by the melee outside the ring, particularly the threat of Batista getting disqualified.

And well, I can’t believe I’m quoting Michael Cole but, “The Age of Orton Begins Again.”

So there you have it, my little wannabe heels.  That’s what you need to have to be a success. The keen sense to see opportunities, and the knack to make one when there’s none.
