Irealize that this is a redundant and moronic joke and punchline, but I am gonna point out that Edge was the highest rated champion in what was it? 8 years? I personally paid to see raw live specifically for him to answer your question though as well as purchase shirts dvds and other items.

He speared six thousand guys and never drew a dime.
Had to.

I think if Jericho is in the successful draw pile then Edge belongs there moreso. Edge was consistently more of a central, featured figure on shows that did OK between 2006 and 2009 than Jericho has been.

Edge was my favorite guy on the roster until he retired. I bought tickets to see him, his book, his dvd, a few shirts, a hoodie, a couple of rated r superstar floor mats that I have in my truck and a decal for the for my back window. I spent a ton of money on his merchandise.

I have an Edge shirt and an Edge pendant. Not seen the former in awhile actually, I should look around for it. It's the Sex & Violence one. I have the same shirt. Little did I know the white marks on the shirt weren't meant to be paint - ignorance is bliss.

I once had a long sleeve Edge tshirt that looked pretty cool, but the WWE had given it away.

At the risk of sounding like a complete jerk, I never liked him and wasn't phased in the least when he retired. I'll also go out on a controversial limb and say that I don't think he remotely deserved that HoF induction.
But hey, a lot of people seem to like him, so what the hell do I know?

I had tons of Edge action figures, bought his DVD, all of that good stuff. He's my favorite.

Of course he never did. He's not an artist.

Yes.
I loaded up on Rated R superstar gear and bought tons of the merch, I have his Decade of Decadence dvd and You Think You Know Me bluray, I also have brood zippos and e&c shirts.
Guy debuted just as I started getting into wwe heavy and I was at his last match. He's one of my all time favorites.

I'm sure he was a decent enough draw other wise he wouldn't have nearly the merchandise out there that they did. He made Smackdown watchable which since he left hasn't been the same. He was the last guy that made the World title feel like a ME title still.

I was never a huge Edge fan; however, I missed most of 05-07, so my opinion may not be relevant. As far as Edge merchandise, I have one memory of someone loving Edge merchandise more than their kid. It was the Summer of 1999, and I was twelve years old at the coast of NC with my family. In a local store, there were some wrestling action figures. I distinctly remember that all the store had was Edge and The Rock. Anyway, this woman rolls her cart in front of them with her little boy in there that couldn't have been over 3 years old. She then reached up, grabbed an Edge action figure and said, "If you break my 'The Edge' again, I'm going to break your little fingers."
She was dead serious. My friend and I were a little disturbed by it. We left immediately.
In sum, Edge not only drew dimes, his action figures led to possible child abuse.
HHH can't say that.

I think the last wrestler to potentially draw a dime would be Ted Dibiase when his shirt was going for like two bucks. After shipping and royalties and a single purchase I'm sure TEH COO made off with little more than ten oR eleven cents. Edge probably drew more than HHHH ever will. He at least has about 75 more worthwhile angles and moments. Hunter just has a wife and a nose and a bad haircut and that one Summerslam match.

Did you ever pay to see Edge or buy his merchandise? Yes, multiple times paid to see him and bought several pieces of his merchandise.

I bought the Crude, Lewd, and Tattooed shirt. I still remember when WWE floated the original concept for that shirt, and intentionally spelled "Lewd" and "Tattooed" incorrectly in order to give them the same ending as "Crude". And remember wondering what in the Green Hell was wrong with WWE's marketing and merchandise people.

I have not seen his artistic work so cannot comment on his ability to draw pictures of American coinage.
