A few minor problems I see with Edge
1) Edge has never really had that "big CLEAN win" over a true main-eventer. Edge's two clean wins (if I remember correctly) have been over
a) Kurt Angle (a time period in which Angle himself was a "transition champ/main-eventer.....a fake main-eventer) and...
b) Mick Foley (a time period in which the novelty of defeating Mick Foley was no longer present.....since Foley had done numerous jobs in the past to the likes of Orton, Triple H, etc., etc.).
Guys like Triple H, The Rock, Austin, Orton, Cena, HBK, Batista, Brock Lesnar, etc., etc. ALL had CLEAN victories over LEGIT main-eventers.
Do I think Edge still has a chance to be more than a "placeholder champion?" Yes.
If Edge can defeat Undertaker CLEANLY at Wrestlemania (not only CLEANLY....but in convincing fashion.....similar to how The Rock finished off Austin at Wrestlemania 19), then YES.......I think Edge can be seen as a legit main-eventer.
On top of this, Edge would have to be moved back to RAW (I'm sorry, but no legit main-event star in his prime can ever ascend to greater heights by being on SD). Edge would have to be moved to RAW where he would NOT be fed to Triple H. Edge would then have to dominate RAW.
If all that occurred, then I believe that Edge could be set.
I do not agree with the statement that "Edge's personality is too bland."
Edge is a pretty good heel IMO. He plays the bitter heel to perfection.
