I agree with the critical opinion that he was really fucking good at what he did -- to the point where he could be technically classed as great -- but somehow he seems like an overachiever. It's not that he didn't earn what he has or anything, but he seems less than the sum of his parts, if you get what I mean?

I really enjoyed Edge as a babyface in 2002. People say that he couldn't do face, but he was tremendous when he went his own way from Christian in 2001. That was a clusterfuck year, but he still managed to stay relevant and a rising star. If he never got injured in early 2003, I think we would have seen Edge eventually rise as a top face before being so associated with being a heel.
