Thats very cool, I've noticed that too. He rose through the ranks quickly and so did the other two. In fact, the 3 of them were extremely unique. 3 great talents and great wrestlers, who were very similar yet distinctly different. In 2000 their star power all skyrocketed immensely. They were the near-future of the company, and the WWE knew this. The Fully Loaded PPV that year was clearly all about them. But unfortunatley they failed to move the ball on them totally. Don't get me wrong, they all were well used, but were noticably held down due to the Rock, Austin, Triple H and Undertaker all being around.
Also, I always find it cool to watch wrestlemanias and see where the talent has come in a year. Its a benchmark to measure how a guy has progressed. Its cool to watch HHHs wrestlemanias, and Jerichos, and now Edge.
