To be honest Juan - I *have* softened my stance on this over the past few months (since I actually get Smackdown now, and have been watching a little over the past 6 weeks).

It definitely is a breath of fresh air to watch different talents.

I just think it would be awesome if the WWE came actually promoted talented guys like Jericho, etc., IN THE SAME MANNER as they have promoted a guy like John Cena. As great as guys like Jericho and Edge have been, they, at no point in their careers, ever been considered the number one guy in the company.

I guess that is where we differ though. For a wrestling purist like you, you could care less. For someone like me though, it irks me.

Didn't Edge already face Undertaker at wrestlemania? It would be pretty cool to see the Ultimate Opportunist go up against the Cerebral Assassin.

Can you dig it?

Except the fans would either turn on Triple H or Edge. That's kind of counter-productive. Edge needs a top heel right now. Chris Jericho, CM Punk or Randy Orton are the kind of guys who could get that sort of reaction. Perhaps Batista, as well. But Batista will be tied up with John Cena at WrestleMania it seems, so we'd get Batista vs. Edge vs. John Cena, in which Edge would technically get to go over Batista and Cena. Would that make people happy? Does everyone really want to see another Batista or John Cena run in the meantime?

My thing with Edge is this: Unless he re-aligns himself with Christian in the near future (i.e. basically having an arrangement that was similar to how DX was these past few years), then I don't see Edge being very successful as a face.

You can just tell from Edge's promos that he doesn't "have it" as a face (atleast as a solo act), and I wouldn't be surprised if the fans give him luke warm reactions....or even turn on him as they did back in late 2004 (which then lead to an Edge heel turn).

Edge vs. Orton could be interesting......if Legacy helps Orton win his Elimination Chamber match (and proving once and for all that their entire 'group tension' was a cleverly crafted plan?).

Heading into Wrestlemania - you could see a united Legacy beating the shit out of Edge. Somewhere along the time, Legacy has problems with Christian as well (and as we saw with DX back in 06', creates a re-union between E&C due to a common enemy). Building up to Mania, we see Edge and Christian feuding with Legacy. Christian and Legacy then get into a feud, while Edge focuses on Orton.

Give Edge some time to get back into it, he's only just returned. His feud with Jericho if booked right, will lift him up to where he needs to be.

I also wonder if HBK would take part in the MITB match at Mania, win it, and then cash in against Taker after his title defense? It would be a pretty crappy scenario, but unique nonetheless.

I remember back in 2002 when Edge was like one of the hottest face acts in the entire company. Those were the good ol' days. That being said, "angry Edge" often has trouble as a face. I do love that Edge has not completely changed his character just because he is now a "good guy," but he's got to let some of that happy-go-lucky energy he had as 2002 babyface Edge shine through. That stuff connected him with the fans really well.

The idea you propose of Edge & Christian taking on Legacy is interesting. Perhaps Christian could get a tag team partner like Kofi Kingston to battle Legacy at WrestleMania?

Don't make Edge a face. Make him the ultimate tweener that will go after anyone to get or keep the title. Have him be a complete loner that will begrudgingly team up with someone for a match or be on a Bragging Rights team but isn't afraid to walk out on his team (a la Bad News Brown).
