That's different. Steamboat was never given the opportunity. Edge was.

And as I already wrote, for a while (circa 2002 on Smackdown) he ran with it.

He has never been a long term success as a face.

You're right, I suppose, but is he entirely to blame for that, or does poor booking have something to do with it?

I really like Edge, but I go on-and-off from "really" enjoying his stuff.

His feud with the Undertaker was one of my favorites ever. Everything was just perfectly set-up.

He's just not that interesting as a face.

The problem with his last face run was that they never let him be "The Rated R Superstar" they changed him so much he became blander shoulda done they same for him as they did with Orton.

Hmmmmmmm.... Wasn't it not that long ago that wrestling fans on message boards everywhere where ready to suck Edge's dick? Of course he was more interesting and got more of a reaction when he was banging Matt Hardy's girlfriend and kissing on-screen Vickie Guerrero. But, it isn't Edge's fault that his return wasn't booked how it should have been.

Edge was getting great face reactions at majority of the shows during the winter. Just because like 5% of the wrestling community found him to be boring/bland, doesn't mean that it was a fail.

I would bet that he was turned heel because that was in the cards for him the whole time, and not because the face run didn't work.
