Deadpool first kicked Wolverine, then he tagged him with the handle of the knife. He could've done it with the blade, but chose to hit him with the handle. He didnt use anything of his arsenal either. He could've used the tranqs right away, but didnt because he wanted to fight.
Deadpool not using his daggers isn't an indication that he made a concious choice not to, merely that he was unable to do it. Wade did nott choose not to use them, Wolverine simply never give the opportunity. He kicked Wolverine because he was falling backwards because of an upper cut, he didn't have an option to slash at Wolverine with his knife. If he hit Wolverine with the handle of his knife it would because his back hand slash missed and the handle clipped Wolverine on the fallow through, not because "he decided to hit Wolverine with the handle." Deadpool didn't choose not to use his knives, he just didn't have the choice until Wolverine tackled him. Wolverine on the other hand did choose not to use his claws.

He had them out but chose not to use them. Not at first anyway. He clearly did have the opportunity when he hit Wolverine in the face. And a team of mercs who didnt interfere. You say it like they assisted him during the fight. If he really didnt want to fight Logan why not tranq him right away? Or use guns? Or granades? And in any case, that doesnt take away from the second fight of the story where Deadpool landed all the hits.
.
Why does Deadpool do any of the things he does?
Anyway, you mean the second "fight" where Deadpool kicked Wolverine in the face once and then Wolverine blocked his second kick with his forearm, where Deadpool's narrative stated that Wolverine had been holding back against him?

Im not gonna try and guess what would've happened exactly, but to say that Cable saved Deadpool is a stretch. Maybe DP would've needed the help later, but when Cable showed up DP didnt need saving, in fact it was ST who could've used it at that point. And his fight with Sabertooth was just an example of how weapons could be helpful against Logan. I repeat, im not saying Deadpool is gonna shoot Wolverine FTW.
Sabretooth was just waiting for Deadpool to exhaust his ammunition, nothing was having much of an effect aside from slowing him down. Deadpool was just delaying the inevitable and Cable came and saved the day.

Huh? I didnt mean it was a flashback. I know they're different fights. Im just saying that "Origins" is the worst Deadpool has ever done against Logan due to Way's incompetence as well as Deadpool's own CIS that prevented him from fighting back the way he usually does. Instead he got his ass kicked while trying to make sure Logan falls for his useless traps. That's Way's writing right there.
Just making sure, you know they are two different instances.
Deadpool's useless traps are the only thing that saved him from Wolverine... and Wolverine wasn't even trying to win. You say Deadpool wasn't fighting like he usually he does, but that isn't true. The difference is that unlike Deadpool and Wolverine's usually fights, this one wasn't a brief exchange by rather was an extend fight that spanned several issues. All their previous fights have been brief and Wolverine has usually had the edge in melee, this was just a natural extension of those fights showcasing what would happen to Deadpool if he tried to lock blades with Wolverine in a fight.

Well, he said he was "drain bamaged" although that's kind of a given...

But if seriously, that time just wasnt enough to fully heal.
Don't see how it possibly couldn't have been enough time for him to heal. Wolverine has remained underwater for over and hour with his throat ripped out and he was fine. Ten minutes of oxygen loss brain damage is a pretty mild thing for guys who heal as fast as Deadpool and Wolverine.

lol exactly. But at least he was writing Wolverine for some time at that point, had some kind of experience with him. One can only hope he'd at least wiki Deadpool or something...
Actually if you go back and read interviews with Way, he actually seems like he is quite knowledge of both characters, I was getting excite for Origins before it was released, he talked like he had a great grasp on the character... unfortunately he is a terribly writer. He is a much better Deadpool writer than a Wolverine one at least, but that is likely because he didn't try to do anything grandiose with the Deadpool mythos, and choose to relegate himself to slapstick

Im sorry Srank but that's crazy. Since when he cant compete with Wolverine in melee? He did it several times in the past no problem, but then Way takes over and suddenly "oh no, how can I possibly compete with Logan in a knife fight!?" And he doesnt normally talk to himself, not really. He didnt normally have hallucinations and inner monologue never distracted him during the fights before. And he never had several voices in his head. That's Way's brilliant idea. DP never drifted away during fights in the past either.
The werewolf fight, the Way fight, the Cable and DP fight. And even in the Wolverine v2 fight where Deadpool does okay, Wolverine isn't using his claws and Deadpool says that Wolverine is holding back.
Maybe we just weren't every privy to those hallucinations? Given his dialogue trees and some of the stuff he says its not a stretch to assume that has been happening the entire time.

The prep didnt help him. At all. It was the reason he performed so poorly. He didnt need saving when he fought Logan h2h. He was doing just fine, but then stopped fighting in order to tell a joke and activate a bomb. Which almost got him killed. While the h2h part whent just fine. He was running away because he had everything timed perfectly. The exploding ninja stars, the piano, the bomb in the car. All set to go off in a specific time. Said so himself. The rest was him just keeping Logan busy for the traps to work. All it did was handicap him and prevent him from putting up a decent fight. And when he finally stopped relying on the traps he managed to ko Logan.
The prep certainly helped him. Wolverine had Deadpool dead to rights no less than two separate occasions, before he was dragged away along the street car track and when Wolverine went to save the baby for the explosion. Every time the fight came into melee Wolverine had the advantage, and Deadpool had to run or get saved by a plot device. The only reason Waypool even managed to ko Wolverine is because of his prep traps weakening Wayverine's already impotent healing factor.

The prep was Deadpool's worst performance against Wolverine. Period. He has had the better of Wolverine at least 2 other times without any help or prep. In fact, the were occasions when the situation favored Logan more than it did Deadpool. For example the boneclaw fight.
Waypool vs Wayverine is not Deadpool's worst showing against Wolverine, not by a long shot. The werewolf one is worse, the Cable and DP one is worse, and the Dr Bong and v2 shows are just as bad, Deadpool has never had the best of Wolverine with out prep, except the one instance where Logan was depowered.
Which fight is it that you feel favored bone claw Wolverine more? The one where Wolverine was depowered, or the one where Deadpool was ever so slightly more insane than normal?

Wolverine cheapshotted Deadpool and kept beating on him before Wade could get it together. And even then DP managed to hit Wolverine while hanging on the edge of a building and had him fall off the roof before pinning him. Wolverine didnt even see Wereworlf until he was already pinned to the wall.
Wolverine ambushed Deadpool. Deadpool flip kicked Wolverine. Then Wolverine laid into him with four or five unanswered blows with a pipe before Deadpool tackled him through a skylight. Deadpool only manged to pin Wolverine to the wall because of the sudden appearance of a Werewolf which distracted him. Logan was even warning Deadpool about the Werewolf as the sword impaled his shoulder.
