Total Non-Stop Edge Thread (**No More Threads Relating To Him Please**)

[Shocky]

Watching Judgment Day 2007 over the last few days, something that JBL said on commentary struck me. I'll paraphrase but essentially JBL said that at his age, Edge is the best wrestler ever. He even went as far to say that if you line up Ric Flair and Harley Race against Edge at all the same age, Edge is the best. Now I know it's the commentators job to push the hell out of the guy, and this was said last year when he was 33. Looking up some of these stats, I'm hard pressed not to agree.

So here are the list of credentials for Edge at now 34. Obviously I don't think Edge is going to go down as the greatest of all time. He's entering the time frame when guys like Hogan, Austin, Michaels and Hart really took off with their title reigns. But the argument at hand, was JBL right that at the age of 33, Edge was better then all the rest when they were 33.

World Wrestling Federation | World Wrestling Entertainment
WCW United States Championship (1 time)
WWE Championship (2 times)
WWE Tag Team Championship (1 time)
WWF/E Intercontinental Championship (5 times)
WWF/E World Tag Team Championship (11 times)
World Heavyweight Championship (2 times, current)
King of the Ring (2001)
Mr. Money in the Bank (2005)
Mr. Money in the Bank (2007) *Arguable but he was the one that ended up with the Briefcase.
Wrestlemania: 5-1

 

[TheOneBigWill]

First things first. Its arguable that he was ever defeated at Wrestlemania. So that 5-1 record isn't exactly complete. Secondly, the MITB match went to Kennedy, however as you stated Edge ended up with it.. therefore, he can hold claim to being the "Champion" of the briefcase, especially since he was the one who used it.. and won from it.

I'd have to completely agree that Edge is one of the greatest at his age. Who else could be better? Brock Lesnar? Randy Orton? The Rock?

I'd press to say Randy Orton might have a slight edge over The Rock or Lesnar. As Orton's accomplishments have been slightly great for being in his 20's, however they don't even compare to Edge. And if Orton's accomplishments are over that of Lesnar's or The Rock's, then clearly that means Edge has far surpassed both of those men as well.

Another thing you have to definately take into consideration is how often Edge held each Championship. 12 times he's held Tag Team gold. 5 times hes been the Intercontinental Champion. Hes a multiple time World Heavyweight Champion, and hes won the King of the Ring tournament.

Now, the reason I added that last bit in, was you have to look at who he defeated to win it. Kurt Angle. The man who could've made history by becoming the first person to win back to back King of the Ring tournaments. So for the W.W.F. (at the time) to give the nod to Edge, to not only go over Angle, but to also go over a man who could've easily made history.. it says a lot for Edge.

Another final note-worthy mention is the fact that Edge missed a year of action due to a serious neck injury. Hes done all of this, and hes been out over a year plus with injuries to his career as well. So with all that said, yes, Edge is definately one of the greatest Superstars at his age. And should go down in history as one of the best of all time.

Will that happen though? Questionable. Why? Because people don't see Edge as ground breaking as your Rock's, or H.B.K's. He hasn't done anything thats majorly stood out to make him go down in history as one of the best. Which is the final reason I give you, on why I still claim he should be the one to end the Undertaker's winning streak at Wrestlemania.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I think the case can certainley be made, but I think it would be easier if we had comparisons between Edge and the other major guys as far as "wrestler X at age 33 had done X" type of thing. I may do this in a later post when i have an abundance of free time. After that, we can REALLY crack this discussion wide open.

Without seeing any actual stats, I have to say I agree with Shocky, Will, and JBL(LOL). Edge has had a LOT of memorable matches already in his reighn, and is a multiple time heavyweight champion. He has held BOTH mid card titles, and is a TWELVE TIME tag champion. To hold ANY title double digit amount of times is simply amazing. Also add in that he won the KOR over Kurt Angle no less.

And while we are on the subject of quality of wins, and opponets, lets look at who Edge triumphed over in his first WWE title win...one John Cena. You want to talk about faith in someone?? I would say, as things are the way they are, A win over Cena is a comparable to a win over Hulk Hogan, during the golden era. I know that may have bristled some people, but the booking is very simular. Take a look at the list of guys who went over Cena during the better part of the last three years. that list reads : RVD, Edge. wether both victories were clean or not, they still pinned him for the 123. And given the way Cena has been booked, I would say it is comparable to Hogan during Hulkamania. And thats about as high profile as a win that you can have.

So without using any statistical comparisons to back myself up with, and going off of sheer number of quality matchs, wins, opponets, and titles held, I would say Edge is the best ever at age 33. Also Will, I wouldnt worry that Edge wont be remembered or considered great in the future. He is undeniably the BEST heel in this era, the "Cena" era, and one of the top 5 best overall preformers in WWE today. Im completely confident he will be in the HOF someday.

 

[Agrex]

I would have to agree, Edge has done amazing things. He won the tag titles twelve times, the US title three times, the IC title five times, he's a three time world champ, one time KOTR, one time (arguably two) 'Mr. Money in the bank', and is 5-1 (arguably 5-0) at WrestleMania. That's quite an impressive championship credential. I mean the only person that comes to mind who could possibly rival Edge's record (at his age) is HBK. And even at 33 Shawn didn't have that much of an impressive record.

Edge started his career in the tag teams with Christian as E&C. He won the title with Christian an amazing seven times. During his run as E&C he (and Christian) were considered one of the most dominant tag teams of the Attitude Era. And still to this they can be considered the greatest tag team ever. They even won the first ever WZ Tag Team Tournament. Edge's tag team career didn't end with Christian as he won the titles five more times with (Chris Benoit (two times), Hulk Hogan (one time), Rey Mysterio (one time), and Randy Orton (one time)).

Then Edge made the move to the mid-card. He was also successful there as he won the US title three times, and the IC title five times. During his mid-card run he also won the prestigious title of 'King of the Ring'. At WrestleMania 21, Edge's career changed for the better as he won the MITB ladder match. Ten months later, he won the WWE championship from John Cena.

Edge's first world title run ended prematurely as he lost the title back to Cena after three weeks. Edge re-won the title during a RAW in July (of that same year) from RVD & Cena in a triple threat match. This reign proved to be more successful for Edge as he held he title for roughly two months. Shortly after WrestleMania, Edge won the MITB briefcase from Mr. Kennedy due to Kennedy's injury. Edge cashed the briefcase in the next night to become world champion once again. From there on Edge has had a successful run on Smackdown.

So, bascally it's safe to say Edge has accomplished alot. More than anybody else at this age. Edge without a doubt in my mind deserves to be put in the Hall of Fame. And will definately get in (if he doesn't screw up like Benoit). But there's just one thing keeping Edge back, he's done nothing to throw him into super stardom. He's done alot, but he's missing that thing that will make him stand out twenty years from now. I agree with Will, that that one thing that can push Edge to the very top is ending The Undertakers WrestleMania undefeated streak. But sadly, that may never happen.

 

[wrestlingfan701]

Although this doesn't sound like much to add when compared to everything already on his list of credentials accomplished up to this point in time. But, since you've added that his wrestemania (w-l) record is 5-1. I thought maybe you could add that his (w-l) record for wwe's (supposedly) 2nd biggest ppv of the year (Summerslam) is not bad either, which is 7-1. And btw the one loss was at SS 1999 where in a tag team turmoil match E&C were the 2nd last team eliminated by the APA, (Christian was pinned) after they had already eliminated three teams from the beginning of the match. So, it could be argued that Edge has never lost at Summerslam.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I wouldn't say so. Out of all his title reigns how many have been memorable? Not many. His first WWE Championship reign was memorable, and beating Taker was memorable. But that's it.

His first big push was in 2001. You could argue that the Invasion made it difficult for him. I think it's more to do with him not being ready.

He had a good 2002. But he was a mid carder. Working with Angle as well. That's more of Angle being his usual great self than anything.

Not around in 2003. And an incredibly poor 2004. He hadn't evolved in years and the crowd hated him. In retrospect it was the best thing to happen to him.

What did he do in 2005 other than win the MITB?

Good 2006. But I wouldn't say great. Good matches all round. But nothing spectacular.

2007 was good. Again not great. Although he was injured for a little. He got some good matches out of Batista. But are they memorable?

Edge is gppd. I think he's great. But I know he's not great. He's entertaining on the mic. And he almost always has good matches. But he's never having great matches. Which Ric Flair & Harley Race were.

Anyway Edge's ''great'' matches have all been heavily gimmicked. So is he any better than The Hardyz or Christian?

 

[HBK-aholic]

I pretty much agree with what Jake said. I think the guye is great, but really, I know he isn't. The words to descirbe Edge should be something along the lines of always good, because he's almost always good at everything, but great? memorable? It's hard tp see the line between them, but I don't think Edge crosses it very often.

I'm a big Edge fan, I really love watching the guy wrestle, and his promos are highly entertaining. He has a lot of the qualities to suggest he is one of the greatest, and he'll probably go down as such. I'm pretty sure his hall of fame spot is already cemented in the ground, and he'll be remembered

I think Edge did so well to break out of that tag team bond, most other people can't do. The Hardyz have hinestly, only started doing so, to not be seen as together. And even so, there names makes it harder to visualise them as singles competitors. Edge, along with JBL is one of the best, for starting out in a team and breaking away from that, to make himself as something a lot better. And that was hard to do, as Edge and Christian were a great team.

Ok Im not sure wether it was in 04 or 05 but you surley can't deny
Edges/kane and Edge/Matt Feud were not GREAT. I loved these fueds and it produced of one the greatest Heels this company ever saw. It produced a hatered were you just want to go in the TV and just beat the hell out of him. Everyone got that feeling for him. And from those feuds it began.

As well in 2006 his fued with Cena was very good as well. Very back and forth feud that saw some memroable stuff that we dont get to see in 2008.

The way he won his first Heavyweight champion. You can't tell me that was not memroable. That was one of the greatest heel tactics I ever saw. One of the most surpising wins as well.

And I dare to say he was a better heel that Triple H. The greatest heel WWE not WWF but WWE ever saw. He grew this seed in people body that were they just want to kick his ass so badly. That shows how great hes playing his role. He's playing it in Perferction.

Edge is SImply Amazing.

Good feuds. But the story behind how the Hardy/Edge feud came about was the most intresting element. The matches were good. The only one you could possibly consider to be amazing was the Cage match. But while it was good, it's not anything terribly special.

As well in 2006 his fued with Cena was very good as well. Very back and forth feud that saw some memroable stuff that we dont get to see in 2008.

Yeah good feud. But if it's great then what does that make all the other ''great'' feuds? You can't honestly say that it's up there with McMahon & Austin?

The way he won his first Heavyweight champion. You can't tell me that was not memroable. That was one of the greatest heel tactics I ever saw. One of the most surpising wins as well.

Yeah. And. I said that.

The reign was purley a way of getting the MITB away from Edge though. Couldn't have him main eventing a Mania now could we.

And I dare to say he was a better heel that Triple H. The greatest heel WWE not WWF but WWE ever saw. He grew this seed in people body that were they just want to kick his ass so badly. That shows how great hes playing his role. He's playing it in Perferction.

Edge is a great heel. But a terrible face. Wouldn't the greatest of all time be able to do both equally as well?

Edge is SImply Amazing.

E-Mazing. Internet fans love him. But the greatest ever at his age? Come on.

 

[CelticPride101]

hmmm gotta say this is a good thread but lets look at this i love edge very entertaining a good wrestler all good but would i say great idk edge had a very good yet repetetive storyline with cena on raw i loved it the whole rated r superstar was born with that sex celebration with lita and gave raw "high ratings" but idk edge is very very very good great i just cant say but i think if we want too settle this too see if hes good/or great i want too see edge put on the match of his career at wm 24 we all know edge will loose but he has too loose with dignity and make it a good match he is very capable of doing that and on the other hand hes in the match with a future legend so that helps but i think the match at wm 24 will determine if hes really really really good at his age or great we will see....................SUPPPPPPPPPAFLYYYLYLLYYYY

 

[Skullz Crack'Em]

I am a big fan of Edge, but when it comes to the IWC, he is very overrated. We hardly get to see his wrestling ability anymore because his character makes him out to be a chickensh*t most of the time. The best example of this is the Battle Royal matches he participates in, every time he is in a Battle royal he stays outside with a fake injury until there is only one man left and he pulls them over the top rope(he must have did this at least 4 times, it is getting old). Another example involves his goons Ryder and Hawkins, Edge will get his ass handed to him by somebody in a match until they interfere and then BAM! Edge spears his opponent after the distraction by his goons, which was the only move he did in the whole match.

Edge is great at something though, and that is playing his character perfectly, he can draw heat more than anybody in the WWE today and can easily get under people's skin. He also excels in gimmick matches which is proven by his excellent performances in the multiple TLC/Ladder matches and Street Fights he was in.

Edge is great, but not the greatest for his age because his wrestling matches are tainted by his character, but I expect him to put on his A-game when he faces Taker at WM24 though.

 

[Rocky3:16]

I agree that Edge has done a lot at his age, Most going overlooked especially his early accomplishments since they were not very groundbreaking in terms of the impact that they had on the company at the time. The fact that The Rock and Stone Cold were ruling the wresting world at the time didn't help matters. But IMO, Greatness is not determined by the number of reigns you have as a champion, but by the impact that you leave on the industry. Shawn Michaels has only held the World Championship 4 times in his career, but in many peoples eyes he will go down as one of the top 5 to EVER step in the ring.

 

[peterf]

My opinion on edge is simple: overated by the wrestlezone fans no offense to anyone but i dont personally think he can wrestle, and his world title reigns, two of them was the mitb were john cena was in a ec chamber match and the undertaker was just in a steel cage match and mark henry destroyed him.

I know that his gimmick is `ultimate oppurtinist` thingy but not very memorial is it people.

IMO edge is overrated

I agree, he is over rated by the IWC, but really almost everyone who is liked by the IWC is considered 'over-rated'. Edge can't wrestle? What...the...fuck? Seeing you have a John Cena avater, I don't think you know what it means to be a wrestler. But that's just me. How can you not think that Edge cannot wrestle?

Please, I'm very interested to see what your criteria is for someone to be considered a wrestler.

 

[havertkingofkings619]

Man, finally we got some edge heads in here I'm an huge Edge fan and I dont understand why people hate him, yes he cheats and who hasnt before i mean come on hunter does it all the time, well he used to, cena did from time to time but no matter what Edge is the best at his age and he'll be one of the greates champs ever

Someone who can wrestle imo is someone who has something that stands out and uses it when they wrestle, what has edge got, he is not amazingly strong, fast, athletic, techinal, basically he doesnt bring anything to the table.

To wrestle imo is someone who is exciting to watch, good moveset, good techinal moves,

Rated R-ubbish superstar imo

 

[jts1031]

Before his string of injuries, Edge was enjoyable to watch in the ring. But like most wrestlers who return from injury, he seems to have lost a step in the ring, which is understandable. His accomplishments are nothing to sneeze at, but that isn't what really counts in wrestling, which is how over a character is with the crowd, be they heel or face. And I just don't see that with Edge. The Rock has been gone for a couple years now, but if he showed up on the stage, the pop would be staggering. If Edge disappeared for a few years, I somehow doubt he'd get anything near the same reaction, nor would he really be missed, all in my opinion of course.

On a related note, I caught Smackdown last night and noticed that for being 33, Edge is really developing the physique of Ric Flair in his 50s. He's gained weight and lost muscle mass, no doubt as a result of the steroid crackdown...

 

[Joehaha]

i think edge is great. hes stil got plenty of years left in the tank yet for him to have some more memorable moments. foley and edge at wrestlemania was memorable, the spear into the flamed table was quality imo. edge costing cena the title at ecw and all the fans chanting "thank you edge" tlc matches, although it was group effort hes stil part of that group. doesnt get much bigger than undertaker for the title at wm though...so im hoping they steal the show..and im torn between seeing undertaker carry his run thru to the end of his career...or seeing edge get a truley memorable moment by ending takers record. but yeah im one of them that think edge is great..guess its just opinion more than anything.

 

[Slyfox696]

Put Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan against Edge at the same point in there careers, and it's really no comparison. Put Rock against Edge, keeping in mind that Rock left around the age of 30, and it's no comparison. Hell, put John Cena against Edge, and it's no comparison.

Considering that Edge isn't even the best guy his age or younger in the WWE right now, I'd have to say that JBL was just blowing smoke to get him over.

I would have to agree, Edge has done amazing things. He won the tag titles twelve times, the US title three times, the IC title five times, he's a three time world champ, one time KOTR, one time (arguably two) 'Mr. Money in the bank', and is 5-1 (arguably 5-0) at WrestleMania. That's quite an impressive championship credential.

Meh, not really. Edge's tag title reigns came during the Attitude Era, when titles were passed around like cheap hookers. Yeah, he had twelve reigns, but they weren't memorable or great in any way. I'd take Demolitions run with the titles over Edge and Christians.

I mean the only person that comes to mind who could possibly rival Edge's record (at his age) is HBK. And even at 33 Shawn didn't have that much of an impressive record.

Someone needs to explain to me how someone who had to receive all that great booking just to get over, is better than someone who can get over without 8 years of great booking.

I mean, look at all the things the WWE had to do just to get Edge over. And the irony is, that the WWE didn't even get Edge over as a main-eventer, John Cena did.

Just because he won a bunch of midcard titles, doesn't make him a great wrestler. In fact, it actually suggests the opposite.

I wouldn't say so. Out of all his title reigns how many have been memorable? Not many. His first WWE Championship reign was memorable, and beating Taker was memorable. But that's it.

I wouldn't even say his first title reign was memorable. I mean, he held it for three weeks. What's memorable about that.

His first big push was in 2001. You could argue that the Invasion made it difficult for him. I think it's more to do with him not being ready.

He had a good 2002. But he was a mid carder. Working with Angle as well. That's more of Angle being his usual great self than anything.

Not around in 2003. And an incredibly poor 2004. He hadn't evolved in years and the crowd hated him. In retrospect it was the best thing to happen to him.

What did he do in 2005 other than win the MITB?

Good 2006. But I wouldn't say great. Good matches all round. But nothing spectacular.

2007 was good. Again not great. Although he was injured for a little. He got some good matches out of Batista. But are they memorable?

Edge is gppd. I think he's great. But I know he's not great. He's entertaining on the mic. And he almost always has good matches. But he's never having great matches. Which Ric Flair & Harley Race were.

While there are some minor things I agree with, the overall premise I completely agree with.

Anyway Edge's ''great'' matches have all been heavily gimmicked. So is he any better than The Hardyz or Christian?

Agreed. What people forget is that, while Edge is certainly phenomenal in gimmick matches, his traditional 1-on-1 matches usually lack.

I'd have to completely agree that Edge is one of the greatest at his age. Who else could be better? Brock Lesnar? Randy Orton? The Rock?

Umm, none of them were Edge's age when they left wrestling, and Orton is not now.

And, if you think that Edge is now, is greater than the Rock, you, my friend, must be out of your mind.

I am a big fan of Edge, but when it comes to the IWC, he is very overrated.

100% agree.

I agree, he is over rated by the IWC, but really almost everyone who is liked by the IWC is considered 'over-rated'. Edge can't wrestle? What...the...fuck? Seeing you have a John Cena avater, I don't think you know what it means to be a wrestler. But that's just me. How can you not think that Edge cannot wrestle?

John Cena is a better wrestler than Edge. It's not really debatable at this point.

 

[MattMoses]

I think it's complete bullshit that people are priding Edge's 'greatness' on his title accomplishments. Skimming through them, hardly anything stands out at all.

WCW United States Championship - Held it for 6 days. Didn't defend it once to my recollection. Unified with the Intercontinental championship. Worthless reign.

First WWE Championship run - Held it for 21 days. Absolutely nothing memorable during this reign. Did he even defend it before he lost it?

Second WWE Championship run - Lasted just over 2 months. An overly decent run, had a solid feud behind it.

First Intercontinental title run - Won it at a house show, lost it the next day. Completely worthless.

Second Intercontinental title run - Held it for a little over a month. Feuding with Christian around this time. Pretty much worthless.

Third Intercontinental title run - Held it for 15 days. Nobody remembers it. Completely worthless.

Fourth Intercontinental title run - Unified with the US Title. Held it for two months. Doubt anybody remembers, nor cares about it.

Fifth Intercontinental title run - Held it for a little under two months. Vacated due to injury.

First World Heavyweight title reign - Held it for a little under two months. Vacated due to injury. Nothing memorable.

So, without taking into account his horde of tag team title wins and his current world title reign, yes, that's a pretty nice list of title accomplishments he has there. But who gives a shit when his reigns mean nothing? Most of them last what, around the vicinity of a month or so, more often than not less?

Hell, by the time Ric Flair was 34, he'd already accomplished:
4 Time NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight champion
6 time NWA World Heavyweight champion
3 time NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team champion
1 time NWA TV Champion.

Now, if you count the period of Flair's 4 NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight championship reigns alone, it comes to 15 months. That alone is longer than all over Edge's singles title reigns combined.

So, why exactly did JBL say Edge is the best ever at his age? Because of his many, meaningless short reigns, when by that time, Ric Flair was a ten time World Heavyweight champion, with four of them reigns alone being longer than Edge's whole combined singles title reigns?

Also, for his many tag team title reigns, only 5 of them lasted longer than a month. The others...12 days, 1 day, 7 days, 16 days, 19 days, and about five minutes. Incredible.

 

[RKO Orton]

Edge- Great Wrestler: Yes; Greatest ever at his age: Hell No!

Edge, like many have said, has won very many titles. 12 Tag Team Championships, 4 World titles, 5 IC Titles, KOTR, MITB twice, but 1/2 (at best) of those accomplishments are flawed.

First off, like Slyfox said, most of his 12 Tag Team championships were pretty forgettable reigns because during the attidue era there were many title changes.

Secondly, his four Title reigns were forgettable. His first was for 3 weeks, the next was for maybe 10 months, his 3rd was only with a feud with Batista then had to forfeit it, and the current one has been dull to say the least. His 2nd reign was the best by far, but was still piss poor.

Finally, his two Money in the bank wins are flawed, some IC title reigns were bad, but he did have a good KOTR. So, while he is good, Edge is not the best at his age compared to, HBK, Rock, hell maybe even Orton (who isn't even 33 yet.)

 

[BDOG]

2005 was i believe the BIGGEST year edge ever had, this year started his career as a main eventer.. coming off fueds in 2004 he then pursued and became obsessed with becoming WHC, thus getting in the Elimination Chamber then on and off again with Shawn Michaels and HHH to become the main man... then at Wrestlemania he got what he needed to become that man, MITB.. Edge is by far the best in my business today and that IS his gimmick, he dosent need a 20 minutes in the ring to have a memorable match, he steals it in 3 seconds......

He needs to head back into the gym though!!

 

[Seal]

He's very likely to end up in the HoF. At the moment we're not seeing Edges potential, usually because he's too busy being dirty so we only end up getting to see some nice spears and that's about it. However, I saw a match of his against Batista last year at a house show and he was superb, he did the edgecution and the edgecator (the one leg sharpshooter) which was great because they're excellent moves and they haven't been used in a while. He also did a good few neckbreakers and DDTS and caught Batista for a snap powerslam at one point, impressive considering the size difference.

Personally I miss the face Edge from a few years ago (I'd love to see Edge turn, he was very popular back then and he has been heel for years now) back when he used to bounce about the ring like a nutter, doing all sorts of facebusters, etc. However he's certianly honed his mic skills, becoming arguably one of the best on the mic there is today. Now I'd love it if people realised that's not all he's good for and the reason he's in top is because he's one of the better wrestlers in WWE who isn't 6 foot 10 and 280 pounds.

 

[L4L]

Edge is garbage he was better as a tag team wrestler than a singles wrestler. I can't watch him he bores me to death. He certainly isn't the greatest by any stretch. I hope Taker beats him at Mania so the belt is around the waist of someone i can stand a little more. Although Taker is getting very old i mean he is using the Deadman gimmick and submitting people with triangle chokes that just doesn't work for me.

Edge reminds me of Triple H in a way despite not having the power that Trips has. I mean since Edge has become a heel, he has become cooler like Triple H was when he was heel and soon to be, Edge definetly has the look of Triple H the long hair, the face, the do whatever it takes to win motto he does. If he doesn't get on a bad side like Booker T, Lesnar, Goldberg, RVD, and Angle have done recently, Edge will be a HOFer. Edge also seems to form factions like Trips did like his Lita, the Edgehead Guerrero storyline or the Rated RKO form which isn't as good as Evolution or DX, but at least give him credit though. Edge in this era can be considered one of the greatest tag team dirty highflying showmen of this era. AS LONG AS Edge doesn't screw up or get on the bad side of HHH, HBK, and Stephanie, his 4 World Titles, 5 Intercontinental titles, 2-time MITB, one time King of the Ring, because his resume stacks up to Booker T and Kurt Angle. I hope Edge doesn't do what they did because it would be a shame. He still needs a few US titles, and maybe an ECW title reign will help his cause, but Edge is closing in on the HOF status.
