I’ve been a fan of Edge his entire run but I started really liking Christian’s work as a single in 03/04 as he was the perfect slimy heel. I ended up becoming a much bigger fan of Christian over the years but my heart lies with Edge.
Christian is one of the more underrated guys, imo. Dude can talk, knows how to work and can work a damn fine match.

Character: Edge
Promos: About equal imo
In ring: Always enjoyed Christian just slightly more.
I'm enjoying Christian more than Edge with what they are currently doing

Wrestling ability: Christian
Charisma: Edge
Mic work: Edge
Look: Edge
More memorable matches/feuds: Edge
More memorable promos/segments: Edge
I think the Captain Charisma run in TNA is Christian's greatest work and I believe he is truly underrated. On the flip side I think Edge's Rated R Superstar run was his greatest work but I think Adam edge's Christian out of the number one spot with his memorability and just being the clear star of the team from the very beginning.

Based on what they both did up to Edge’s forced retirement I have to say Edge. I like both but I feel like Edge was the bigger star.

Christian is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time but looking back on their careers Edge easily tops Christian. He’s more accomplished, a bigger star, and I’m just a bigger fan of Edge’s rivalries, storylines, and moments in general. Edge is another one of my all time favorites too and his retirement and return only made my appreciation for him greater.

Edge is better but I’ve always been a bigger Christian fan.

Big fan of both, but Edge shades it for me. They're both super good, but in terms of what I've enjoyed more, it's Edge for me.
Christian doesn't get the credit he deserves at times, his career has been excellent and a HOF place would be deserved.

Edge & it's not close for me. Never had much interest in Christian as a single...I feel Vince missed the boat on him in 2004 though when Trish turned on Jericho & they paired up.
Their heat was nuclear....

Christian, and it’s never been close IMO. Not taking anything away from Edge, but I’ve never seen him as “the guy” or someone that got me hyped much. Hell, I’m one of the few who enjoyed his run from 1998-2004 much more than his run from 2005-2011.
Both are great talkers but Christian’s promos have always stuck with me more. It’s hard for me to pick out an Edge promo that’s stood the test of time, yet I can easily recall a bunch of Christian promos from throughout his career.
Character work, Christian has shown way more versatility in changing things up to stay relevant. From the champ of Europe, to a heel who legit threw temper tantrums in the ring, to “The Peeps,” and now his current “James Bond” villain he’s playing in AEW, he’s always found ways to freshen up his character. As for Edge, he’s mainly playing the same character he’s been since 2006/7. Hell, him bringing back “The Brood” gimmick last year was the most he’s done to freshen up his character since then. And he should be thanking Matt Hardy for giving his heel turn the boost it needed when he legit slept with his GF behind his back.
Ring-work, again I go with Christian. The guy has always been underrated as hell and is one of those performers who can get a great match out of nearly everyone. Hell, look at his recent ladder match in AEW with Wardlow. Edge has always been solid, but he’s bored me in the ring more than wowed me, especially post-neck surgery in 2003. He lists his favorite match of all time being the WM24 main event with Taker, but to me that match has always been a snooze fest.
Not trying to take anything away from Edge but Christian has always been the better of the two to me. Just because Vince had a hard-on for Edge doesn’t automatically make him the better performer.
