Edge is one of the greatest of all time. Sting is not.

Sting for me in ring never struck oil unless someone else did the drilling. And his menacing crow days was one note.
Edge was versatile and over delivered. I think edge exceeded his talent level and sting failed to meet his own. |

The Rated R Sooooooouperstarrrrrr
Edge owned Smackdown and had epics with Cena, Angle, Undertaker. TLC's and all with Christian. Sorry not sorry. Sting was mostly hype and no payoff. On this day I vote Edge. |

Sting is one of the greatest of all time. Edge is great, but not as great as everybody always said.
Sting underrated, Edge overrated. Both great. Sting gets my support. |

Sting is a legend. Edge was great but his legacy is over-hyped. He was never the star Sting was.

Edge is like one of the best supporting actors in history. Sting on the other hand, was a lead actor, but not one of the best.

Sting was a great star. He wasn't Hogan or Austin or Rock but if we're using them as the standard, forget about it. Edge never had that "it factor" to get himself to "face of the company" level. Sting did. Edge never had a match like Sting-Flair or an angle like Sting-Hogan. He was just... good.

Yeah but Sting never had any matches like No Mercy 1999 ladder match, WrestleMania 2000 ladder match, both tlc matches, his entire feud with Cena, his entire feud with taker, his matches as part of the smackdown 6, his mania match with foley or mitb victory. You're underrating Edge like crazy. Besides Flair, Hogan, and Vader, what else did Sting do that really stood out?

Edge may not have been #1 star but he had a hell of a long run at the top AND on top of that was part of revolutionizing the way people worked matches in North America. Not the biggest fan of his promo work after he teamed with Christian, but he was a top notch performer.
Sting was awesome, but Edge had a hell of a lot to do with WWF being the winning team even if simply in a supporting role. That TLC shit kept the ball rolling when WWF could have lost their momentum. |

One thing i love about these is in one match i will be arguing alongside dale or whomever and in the next the lines are drawn completely different and we're at odds. There's something really honest about that. No parties in this just the topics.

Edge. Couldn't stand him when he started his single run but man did he ever get good.

God this one's tugging at my heart strings, they're both so good. Sting is one of the best faces ever and had one of the best feuds of all time producing no shortage of classics.
Edge's first run as a solo face run was pretty boring, but then he turned heel in 2004 and had one of the best heel runs ever from 2004-09. My heart says go with Sting, but if Edge wins I'm cool with that. |

Hmm, that's a tough one. Used to love Sting as a kid, then kinda hated him because he feuded with Hogan, whom I loved, but still wished Hogan would turn face and they'd team up.
Didn't care for Edge in his Brood/Ministry days, but his solo heel run was so fucking fresh, he was a beast in the ring. Also, I can appreciate when a wrestler retires in his prime (even if it's because of injuries), not running around in the ring with saggy tits in his 50s. Gonna go with Edge. |

Love Edge, but have to go Sting....Meant more to the companies that he worked for (WCW & TNA) than Edge ever did in WWE (unfortunately)....

Firmly beleive that Edge was a lot better at what he did than Sting was at what he did. Sting was given a spot in two particularly struggling companies, whereas Edge crawled his way up through a company that didn't think they needed him until he proved they did.

When did Edge prove WWE needed him any more than Sting proved that WCW needed him?

Tough choice but gave the slight edge to Edge.
Mostly because of feeling in terms of longevity, Edge's was better in overall quality and didn't watch or have a connection with much of Sting's earlier work in WCW. |

Do you mean when they were forced to sign Hogan because Sting didn't draw as champion? Or when they put all the push to him and he showed up at Starrcade as a fatass that in a match against Hulk Hogan got blown up.

In 1994? Like 5 years after Sting was pushed as the face of the company? Then they decided to sign the biggest star in wrestling history and take the company to a new level.
Okay... so when did Edge prove WWE needed him? Did I just miss the point where Edge made WWE say "We're good. No need to bring in or build bigger stars. They don't exist. We've got Edge?" |

Sting is iconic. He is the face of WCW. The whole character and look is iconic. People paid money to see a 56 year old icon wrestle at Mania.
Edge was a great all rounder, but there was nothing iconic about him. Sting had two great iconic personas and looks too. In fact, he was so iconic, that he was the most over wrestler in the biggest company in America without wrestling a match, for over a year. Sting is on another level to Edge. |

STD's too busy playing AIM trivia to answer your question
I'll answer it and say that when Edge became a main eventer it was during the brand split era and John Cena and Batista are about the only ones who "carried" WWE. But when Batista was hurt on SmackDown! and RVD was blazing that Iranian tobacco Edge proved to be a reliable alternative, and a great one at that. Around 2007/8 when he feuded with Cena, Batista, & Undertaker and he main evented the same show that had Ric Flair's retirement they were showing that he was one of the people that could carry the company, he just never had to because he had that star power around him. Like I said, he's one of the best supporting actors of all time where as Sting is a lackluster starring actor. |
