Scott's Blog of Doom

I've read plenty of your reviews, but have never read a definitive statement from you regarding your thoughts on Edge as a performer/entertainer.

Of guys who made their debut post-1990, Edge is my favorite.  His run with Christian was such gold back in the day.  And the 'Rated R Superstar" persona entertains me to no end.

He doesn't put on ****+ matches with the regularity that Benoit, Flair, or HBK did, but he's still an excellent in-ring performer.   This latest injury sucks balls.   SmackDown is still superior to RAW (by a mile) but it took a huge hit with the loss of Edge.

 

I like Edge well enough.  I think his appeal to me personally has been mostly fading since his awesome breakthrough with Lita as a main event package, because really that act worked so well you were never gonna top it.  And I think the lack of a definitive Big Match has kind of hurt his standing overall.  He’ll probably hit upon his Flair-Steamboat if he sticks around long enough, but there’s just nothing on his DVD that screams “Must Buy”. 

But regardless, I’d probably call him my favorite active worker, not that that’s saying much at this point because they’re all getting pretty interchangeable at the top of the card.
