But you can tell by the crowd reactions to him, they've already blown it with him.
I think it's WAY too early to say that the WWE have already 'blown it' with Benjamin. If Benjamin continues to get some solid victories, then I think the fanfare will come. Benjamin can still feud with and defeat the likes of Christian, Batista, and even Kane.

One thing I noticed about Benjamin (with his music), was that it sounded kind of "D'Lo Brown-ish" (if that makes sense). This may sound strange, but I think Benjamin should watch some old tapes of D'Lo Brown.....and watch how he used to work the crowd. D'Lo had average talent, but Benjamin has far more. If Benjamin can match D'Lo Brown's charisma, then I think he'll be fine.

In terms of the crowd with Edge, I think thats a problem, Edge gets no heat as a babyface. They did build to a solid finish but I think that had more to do with the fans at ringside who were going crazy for Orton. After the near falls the other fans started to get into it. But in the beginning and the middle the fans didn't seem to have any passion one way or the other for Edge.

But the thing that scares me with Edge is that he doesn't seem to know how to work as an upper level babyface. He doesn't have any velocity in his punches, and he does too many moves that main eventers his size shouldn't be doing.

Its becoming more and more clear to me that they should have brought him back as a heel, but too late for that now I guess.
I don't think it's too late. Keep in mind, that the WWE have not associated Edge with Christian thus far. Therefore, the WWE can EASILY have them hook back up.

I like my idea of having Edge and Christian "share" Trish. Not only does this make Trish look like a COMPLETE slut, but it gives Edge his heat back. Edge was at his best when he was aligned with Christian. They could do the odd tag match, while Trish could manage both men as singles competitors. Get rid of Tomko.
