I find myself digging Edge more and more, which is strange because I never cared about him one way or the other. He just plays the prick heel perfectly. What about you?

He just beat the Big Show on Raw in four minutes after a chair to the gut and a weak one armed spear that Show completely oversold. That sealed it for me. Edge is either sleeping with Steph behind Hunter's back, or sleeping with Vince.
I created a thread a while back asking if Edge had ever lost a feud, and could only come up with Cena (and that feud isn't technically over), though one could make a case for Michaels. Edge is the most protected worker in the United States, in any profession, and it's mind boggling. The only reason he started getting heat was because he banged Matt Hardy's girlfriend and it leaked to the internet (thanks to Hardy). Before that, he was getting a rocket shoved up his ass for years without doing anything to justify it.
To me, he's still a mid-carder, even though he should have main evented WM with Cena just based on logical storyline progression. I mean, Triple H has lost more feuds over the last five years than Edge. Triple H!

Edge was always at his best with Christain in the tag team days. I still think he is very good now though.

^I hope you're right, but I think it would be all for nought, if he goes through that only to job to Cena yet again on PPV at Vengeance.

Edge is nothing more than a mid-card (Ill go one up, he's dark match material) jobber. It boggles my weak little mind that they'd waste precious air time on someone like him, and leave someone like Haas or Conway on Heat. Edge is even worse than Cena on this case, so what you want about Cena, but at lease he gets some type of responce from the crowds. What does Edge get, cheap heat for stealing his 'friend' girlfriend, and when that wore off, he had to join forces with Foley agaist ECW. And I hope Mr. Copeland realizes, he looks like a jackass.

Not a fan of Edge, but to say hes a dark match jobber is a little overkill.

Edge won me over when he turned heel. I can't handle super clean babyfaces.

I also like him because he looks like a guy who works out, but not a roid monster like Lashley or Batista (even though I like Batista a lot).
And yes, I realize he was a roid monster when he first came back from his injury.

he's a legit superstar, but he was still better in his Christain & Edge days

He's one of my favorites now.
I'll never forget how hard I marked when he won the title at NYR.

He's defiitely a main eventer and he deserves to be. He's got the natural attributes of the look and charisma that you can't teach, he's a good wrestler, he's got an impressive past with all the E&C stuff (especially the TLCs).

I have never took to Edge. Never took to Christian either until he became Hollywood Rock's errand boy. Then his charisma became evident and he ran with the ball that the Rock gave him. Too bad the WWE chose to bury him and give such a push to Edge instead. In 2004, Edge was SO horrible that he was basically getting X-Pac heat as a returning face when he came to Raw. He turned heel and showed he had good uppercard mic skills but his matches were still subpar. He has some of the worst offense this side of Cena. The spear SUCKS. But one thing is beyond debate...he's MUCH more watchable than the ever lame heel version of Cripple H.

I'm in complete agreement with s2K. Edge is over-rated and over-protected in WWE.
He's decent on the microphone, but he's never been anything special in the ring (a friend of mine once referred to him as "Tom Zenk 2000." Even during his best days as part of Edge and Christian, I felt Christian was more willing to take the bumps than Edge was.
Basicly, if it wasn't for his "affair" with Lita, he'd be right back in the midcard wrestling for the Intercontinental Title where he belongs.

The man should be the top heel on Raw

I like Edge. Think he will become one of the top guys in the future. But his angle right now with Foley is just stupid. It`ll be a good thing when it`s over.

edge is my favorite wrestler.... i've been a huge fan of his since the edge and christian days. i don't think he's over pushed, they need a top heel besides triple h or vince mcmahon. it would have been nice if they let him hold the belt longer, what was the point of that to just have it for 3 weeks? he should use that sharp shooter move (edgecution?) instead of the spear as a finisher though.

Edge is awesome...and everyone whos saying that the only time hes been good as a singles wrestler is after he got with Lita obviously doesnt remember when he was having some of the best matches on SD and was THE biggest face on SD in 02... Theres a reason he has opened up like half the RAW shows this year... He has risen to the top in the right time...unlike how everyone these days is in the main event scene after two years...and he also has the look of a big star, not to mention hes good in the ring...
