No one cared about him.

One of my most vivid memories of the TPWW forums is being on here the night of Vengeance '04, and the sheer amount of hatred Edge was getting for taking the IC title from Orton in a hiccup win. "OMFG, THEY JUST JOBBED OUT THE GUY THAT'S THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY TO A GUY THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A GIMMICK!?!?! I'M BOYCOTTING WWE FOREVER!!!" I beleieve Loose Cannon was on Suicide watch that night The point being, Adam Copeland didn't have a single fan on the boards. The IC title run led into Edge's spiral in being obsessed with being World Champion.

Still, no one cared.

The news broke that he had the affiar with Lita.

"OMFG GET THE WORLD TITLE ON THIS MAN RIGHT NOW, AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KEEP IT ON HIM!!!!!!!"

That, my friends, is what I'm going to remember Edge for. And for some of the more humorous 5 Second Poses, especially the ones involving Kurt Angle.
Yeah, the wrestling forum didn't care. That doesn't mean the rest of the world didn't.
