He was so  ing awseome back then, I was ten then, he was the reason I got hooked on wrestling. His fued with Cena was IMO the best of the decade, it finishes perfectly in that amazing TLC match at Unforgiven. Everything from his promo's, his entrance, his who mentality in-ring, his attire and let's not forget his amazing, but short lived, Rated R Spinner Title, how bad ass was that? He is a former shell of him self right now, he's not as bad in-ring as people are saying he is, but his tank is half empty definitely. I could go on all day about how amazing he was back then, since then he has been my favourite wrestler, and I could sit back all day watching promo's and matches of him, but he's just not EDGE anymore, saddens me to say it, but next year I think he should hang up his boots before he gets a real bad injury that will really horribly affect him for the rest of his life. He is one tough SOB though, broken neck, torn tendon and god knows what else and he is still going. |

Yes, 2006 was the year of the Rated R Superstar.

I definitely miss 2006 Edge. I just can't get behind him now. His angle with Kane doesn't really interest me at all.

Nah, I love 2010 Edge too much to miss any other version.

I've always liked Edge and I'm really digging his babyface runs this year on SmackDown. Didn't like his run on Raw at all.
2006 was his best heel work.

He was the best with Lita in 06, after that he kinda slowed down.
Him and Vickie was alright but he wasnt as good as on Raw imo.
But when he did go back to Raw he sucked, hes kinda picked up now but i dont know hes not going to be the same again.

He's best as a bad guy. However, I don't think he's been bad at all lately.
I think his feud with Kane is underwhelming because Kane has given the same promo for the past month. "I want my father back. Edge give him back. I have feelings. blah blah blah blah blah."

The best could give the same promo for a year and make you believe it and still enjoy it on day 365 as on day 1. Kane gave good promos during his feud with Taker, but now he's annoying. |

Not really. I'm in the minority but I'm one of the few people who prefered Edge as a face. His face run from 2001-2003 was awsome. He was gold on the mic(nobody was funnier than him) and he was putting on 4-5 star matches constantly. When he returned from his broken neck in 2004, he was slower in the ring, but after a few months worked the ring rust off and his new serious-face run was a bit of fresh air to his character.
When he first turned heel in late 2004, I actually liked him because he was a heel that was willing to fight anybody, unlike the usual heels who run away from everybody. By the end of 2005 I couldn't stand him because he was playing a heel who ran from fights instead of the cool heel from 2004 that took on any and every face.

Yes because he had Lita and imo was just better.

Good GOD. Edge does not need to hang it up. It is up to HIM (or any OTHER athlete/wrestler for that matter) to decide when he/she should hang it up, not some fan. Good lord. He is still great, and I am enjoying his current run. He himself said it will be within 2 years. I want to watch him wrestle as long as possible so the original poster should just keep his trap shut!! No fan would want any performer to retire. SOME "FAN"
I love how Edge is all of a sudden the whipping boy of the IWC. His "decline" in his workrate is greatly exaggerated. He was awesome in 2006, and even before and he is awesome now. It is the BOOKING of the character that is the problem, not his WORK.

His work today his still pretty damn good. But is character does not interest me at all. I haven't watched SD since July. He needs a storyline that freshens up his character.

I marked out when he won in January, but after that, I havent really enjoyed Edge. Ive never been an edge fan, but 2001 edge > 2006 Edge, imo of course.

I'm thinking they told Cena to chop down his moveset and other abilities too. |

"I want my father back. Edge give him back. I have feelings. blah blah blah blah blah." 100% agreed with this. When WWE was more liberal, he could be more like the character was intended to be. But since its PG....its harder. I think its less to due with injuries and more to do what he is allowed to say or do. I too am enjoying his babyface run. Where they failed previously this year was trying to make him Cena cookie cutter babyface. Edge needs, pardon the pun, to be edgier. Kidnapping, torture mixed with humor and a little twistedness is good. When Edge was feuding with Taker and had to face him hell in a cell, he started to get some face pops after the attack on Mick Foley. The whole twistedness, hair pulling and creepy motions. He was scaring Vickie Guerrero, attacking members of La Familia. Thats how they should have handled his face run then and we are seeing a little of that now. The only part of Edge/Kane that I dont like is Kane's whiny promos and it doesnt help that Edge still has Paul Bearer. Once he got his title match for TLC, he should have let Paul go and make it less about Paul and more about the title. |

i never saw him as a credible main eventer, but he proved me wrong and i was happy he did. i loved his feud with undertaker, and he was a good heel to cena.
