Brian Myers recalls pitching his first major WWE storyline to Edge
During the same appearance on The Sessions, Brian Myers recalled him pitching a major storyline in WWE to Edge.
Back in 2007, The Rated R Superstar was arguably the biggest heel in the company, despised by wrestling fans around the world. His sneaky and plotting character also brought him success in the form of World Championships.
Myers and Matt Cardona joined him that year and were called The Edgeheads. The young duo were used as meat shields for the 11-time World Champion.
The IMPACT Wrestling star continued his conversation with Renee Paquette on The Sessions and spoke about how he and Cardona approached and started working with the WWE Hall of Famer.
"Edge was a hello and goodbye person to us at the time... I was like, 'Well, what if we tell him about this idea?' So we garnished the courage to go up to him and say, 'Hey, we have this idea'... He said, 'Here's my email. Email it to me.' So, we crafted this email and I sent it to him and it worked. He read it and loved it and that got the ball rolling and made it all happen," said Myers. [From 13:26 to 14:09]
The former Tag Team Champions' run as Edgeheads peaked when they got involved in the main event of WrestleMania 24 in 2008, helping Edge defeat The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship.
