As someone else said I would love to get your take on Chris Benoit. I pretty sure the line between cheating on your spouse and murdering them is pretty in' big so comparing Edge cheating on his wife to Chris Benoit murdering his, is just plain stupid. Who gives a poop if the guy did that? It's his personal life and should in no way effect his in ring life. I thought it was ed up but still, Edge remained as my favorite and still is. No one said the acts were the same level of awful. Follow the thread. The point being if you say you're not allowed to have an opinion on the personal actions of a guy you didn't know then why do we have 3 Benoit threads a week full of people arguing both sides? You can't pick and choose what guys you can have opinions about personally and what people you can't. Lord knows how many people here have opinions on guys like the Hardy's without knowing them. Is that better or worse than what Edge did? And no one said anything about that affecting his ring work or him being worthy of the HOF. I think I mentioned several times that Edge was a real good worker who deserves the Hall of Fame. I only said I can't put someone on a pedestal personally for doing what he did.

But you should probably start... Listen, if you don't already get why Edge is so good, and so highly regarded, you're never going to get it. And if you don't get it..... ...figure it out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm a huge fan of Edge, but I think it's too soon for him to be in the Hall of Fame, I mean, the Rock derserves it before him... /:

Dude, it's 2012. This happens all the time. The divorce rate is higher than the marriage success rate. As far as Edge goes, he did just about everything there was to do in the business. His character was always entertaining. The Rated R gimmick was awesome, a lot of times he was just a transitional World Champion, but he was a believable Heel World Champion, doing whatever it took to win. He was always evolving his character, something that some guys can't do, or just refuse to do. He did have a lot of injuries, but he still put on good matches, and was in the better storylines. Everyone cheats on their wife with their best friend's girlfriend these days? I'm just trying to say it happens more often these days than it did in the past. People acted so surprised by it, and that Edge cheated on his wife. Most athletes that go on the road all the time cheat on their wives and GFs, and because their business doesn't come to light it's all fine. Had Matt Hardy never ran to the internet about it, no one would have known. I agree that it was f*cked up, and I backed Hardy all the way. It got turned into a huge storyline, he got his job back, put on a few great matches with Edge, and in the end they became friends again. I just don't see how people can STILL be mad at Edge or Lita for something that got resolved, and it didn't happen to them personally.

I find this thread hilarious. "Flavor of the Month", "Overrated". lol. Edge has had quite a following for a long time. Edge was a great talker, a great tag-team wrestler, a great IC, and a great World Champion. He good work a great face and an amazing heel. Go back to 2007-2009 with his heel run on Smackdown, absolute gold. Also, if you're only basing him off his work in 2010-2011, then you might want to go do some research. I'll admit, he wasn't great in his last two years, but his body has token a huge toll before that, and just coming off an achilles injury can't be good for any professional athlete. So, go watch some classic Edge and tell me if you don't see it, and if you don't then I don't know what the hell you're looking for in a pro wrestler, because Edge had it ALL.

But it doesn't even make sense to say he doesn't deserve the HOF, yeah maybe it was rushed, but achievement wise, Edge is up there with HBK and Ric Flair. He literally did it all, and had some of the greatest matches in WWE history. Off the top of my head, the only thing Edge did not accomplish was the European Title. Along with Christian, and the Hardyz he elevated the ladder match. He more than certainly had a HOF career.

Edge > Christian by a LONG shot
Edge was better in the ring, better overall and a bigger star. Plus he stuck with the company instead of bailing after a contract was up. I love Christian but he's gotten everything he's deserved.
Edge was one of those guys who worked his way up. He came in with a mediocre build up. Made a creepy guy gimmick work, entertained millions and won a shitload of (deserved) championships. He's a guy who is a lifelong wrestling FAN who made his dreams come true with hard work and absolute dedication to the sport. Not to mention Edge broke his body trying to entertain us, and was forced to give up his passion WAY too soon because of it.

Edge got the push that Christian should've been given.

I never was his biggest fan. He was ok the mic and was ok in the ring. I don't he sucked, but never saw him as a real true main eventer.

Is it actually that bad that he left the WWE, not wrestling, because he wanted to have an easier schedule to rest and spend time with his family? He always said he wanted to come back. Christian has proved he has what it takes to be a champion on TNA and on WWE. Also, breaking your body, or being injury prone for that matter, doesn't make someone better than another. I like both wrestlers, though I like Christian a lot more. If you think that Edge is better, that is your opinion and I respect it, I won't try to change it, but I seriously don't think those statements you mentioned make Edge better than Christian, specially that last part.

For me i've never cared for him, I've always like Xstian tho'.. Y? Well I liked him on the mic.. I never cared for either as far as wrestling/entertaining goes in the ring.. But I gotta admit I like Xstian more than edge.. But people really love him, and I'm not sure why! I mean he was injured more than he wrestled when it came to singles bouts.. & now the HOF? Really? My one response to this . If you don't like him, fine. Injured more than wrestled? I don't think so. HHH, Batista (especially Batista), Orton , all have had serious injuries that took them out for long time periods. Benoit, Rhyno, Lita, had the same neck surgery, as did Austin, so that myth is done. As for his career: Retires with 31 titles including 11 World/WWE Titles, has 13 Tag titles with 4 or 5 different partners, 5 time IC champ, Royal Rumble winner, King of the Ring winner.etc. He was one of the best heels ever. When he was forced to retire, he was just getting over as a face, but he was outstanding on the mic. Up to the end despite all the injuries, he had top of the line matches . Hall of Famer? OH HELL YEAH he is. IMO, one of the best ever and an all time great. End of discussion.

I don't think anyone is annoyed by it, they are just pointing out that it is ridiculously stupid.
His ring name is Christian, not Xian.
