During this NotSam Wrestling podcast interview, The Rated R Superstar discusses every behind-the-scenes detail from the initial phone call from Paul Heyman, to Vince McMahon's desire to keep in the cutaway shots, to the love letter aspect of constructing the match.

    @@EmmanuelBrown-vv6jt Well one that was in an empty ARENA, not an empty warehouse so there was a lot more to work with. It was a no DQ falls count anywhere instead of a standard wrestling match with no crowd. And that was during the Super Bowl so a whole lot of people would be tuning in to watch, I don't know who preformed in the Super Bowl that year but I'm sure halftime heat between Rock vs. Mankind for the WWF title during the peak of the attitude era was more fun to watch than whoever preformed in the halftime show, heck it was more fun to watch than the Broncos thrashing of the Falcons, thanks for choking 15-1 '98 Vikings.

    I loved the match, precisely because it was just about doing wrestling. It would have been perfect if they didn't put the camera shots to the audience (they exagerated too much their expressions and the amount of shots was crazy) but for me, almost a perfect match. Randy and Edge are two greats. It surprises me people don't talk that much about this match.

    Orton pretty much carried the covid era. With edge and drew, he really went prime 09 orton to deliver in that match. One of my favorites in recent years. And edge became a better in ring wrestler since coming back. His match with rollins at msg and summerslam are stellar matches.

    You don’t call something the greatest wrestling match ever before it’s happened. It sets too high expectations and Randy and Adam knew that. I don’t blame them for it at all of course not but the match we got was actually really good and was on paper something you could go “yeah they were right”. Big moves, good action, good story. For me it isn’t even the match of the year for 2020 but it’s really good and a way for them to say “let’s make a match built around wrestlers who we believe have had the best matches ever”. I felt they genuinely did the best they could and it was great
