Perhaps I'm wrong here but I really can't see Edge being 'loved' as a face. I don't doubt the fact that the WWE might try and push him as such at some point. What I DO doubt however, is if Edge's face character can be anywhere near as over as his heel character was.

I disagree. I was so hyped for a potential Edge face turn last year. Imagine if he had returned from "hell" with a new respect for The Undertaker. Imagine if Big Show, Chavo Guerrero, Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins were beating down Taker one night, and then suddenly, a cloaked figure appeared and started hitting everything that moved. He took everyone out with a steel chair, and then hits a Spear on Chavo Guerrero. The figure removes his cloak, and it's Edge. Cue Edge cockily walking up the ramp, as The Undertaker looks up at the stage to Edge, confused.
The next week, Vickie Guerrero could ask her "husband" what it is he thinks he's doing. Cue a Spear to Vickie Guerrero, which given Vickie's heat, would be an epic pop. Edge gets a divorce, and then brings back his brother, Christian, and you'd have had an Edge that people could have loved.
A face Edge is something that could potentially be as epic as a heel John Cena. OK, that's an exaggeration, but the face potential for Edge is there.
