... but in terms of Championships won, he's actually the most decorated wrestler in WWE/F history, having won 20 Championships in WWE/F, a King Of The Ring tournament and the first Money In The Bank match.
2x WWE Championships
1x World Heavyweight Championship
5x WWE Intercontinental Championships
11x World Tag Team Championships (7x with Christian, 2x with Chris Benoit, 1x with Hulk Hogan and Randy Orton)
1x WWE Tag Team Championship (1x with Rey Mysterio)
2001 King Of The Ring
Mr. Money In The Bank 2005
Also, he's one of only 17 men to achieve the WWE Triple Crown, a major title (WWE and/or World Heavyweight Championship), a tag team title (World Tag Team and/or WWE Tag Team Championship) and a second-tier title (WWE Intercontinental and/or WWE United States Championship), having gotten 5 out of the 6.
In terms of legacy and overall greatness compared to others, he'll never be up there with the Hogans, Austins, Rocks, Harts or Michaels or our times, but the stats don't lie.

My favorite guy in WWE over the last 2 year. So glad he's on my favorite show now too.

Was Edge ever US Champion during the InVasion?
If so, he has held BOTH Triple Crowns.
Edit: Yep.

As I mentioned in the SD! Spoilers thread, he's actually the only one to my knowledge to win all six of those titles, making him WWE's only multiple Triple Crown Champion (I don't know what else to call it  ), that's a pretty nice accomplishment too EDIT: Guess that answers the previous post |

Technically, Edge is not the most decorated WWE Champion of all-time. Then again, with Raven winning 25-30 times (all Hardcore), it is pretty much discounted. Sorry to be such a negative Nancy/thorn in the side.

Now all he needs is a damn Royal Rumble win, which would lead to a WM main event.

I know Angle just needed the World Tag Team Title for it, and Benoit just needs needs the WWE Title I'm sure there's possibly more, though in Flair's case, I'm not too sure if I'd count them as the same thing  |

He's a really good wrestler, but he's not even close to being in the top ten

With that said, it includes a lot of WCW championships (23). Booker has only won 8 WWE championships, plus 2 hardcore championships which I have not included. |

Sorry to be such a negative Nancy/thorn in the side. 27 WWE Title reigns for Raven (all Hardcore). The way that title was passed around during it's final months, with guys racking up 20 reigns each, makes it not worthy for inclusion. |

Is Booker T the only man to be a Triple Crown Champion in two different promotions? Do 27 Hardcore Titles add up to as much actual "gold" as one WHC reign? Who died and made me boss? Was it the Denver Broncos? |

In terms of legacy and overall greatness compared to others, he'll never be up there with the Hogans, Austins, Rocks, Harts or Michaels or our times, but the stats don't lie. How can you say that he won't be up there, Right now, he's roughly the same age that Austin was when he won his first title, younger than Hart, plus he has a long time to go that he can be on top, building up his legacy |

He's only, what, 33? |

Is Booker T the only man to be a Triple Crown Champion in two different promotions? Bret beat him to that one I believe But interestingly enough on the subject of Flair, if he won the X-Division title, he'd be a TNA Triple Crown Champion |

), that's a pretty nice accomplishment too
