[quote=Noid;2442934 but the face potential for Edge is there.[/quote]
Not a bad scenario Noid but here's my thing:
ANYONE can be a decent face for at least a little while.
As we've seen on numerous occasions with many different wrestlers however, there is a difference between being a great face and being a face that starts to get lukewarm/average reactions about 2-3 months later.
Think over the last 7 years or so:
2002:
-Triple H
-Brock Lesnar
2003:
-Kevin Nash
-Scott Steiner
-Goldberg
-Kurt Angle
2004:
-Randy Orton
-Edge (ironically enough!)
2007-08:
-Chris Jericho
I've probably missed a few examples but my points remains.
I have no doubt that Edge would be able to garner some respectable face pops after turning. However - I highly suspect that Edge would fall into that category of 'lukewarm' face pops 2-3 months after turning.....and as result, the WWE would turn him back into the current character that we see him as.
Maybe I'm wrong though - I also seem to recall Edge getting some nice face pops in 2002 after he parted ways with Christian (and had his 'Rob Zombie' theme).
Just as HHH had Shawn Michaels to help him transition to a face with DX in 2006, maybe a guy like Christian could help Edge make a transition?
