Edge is weird for me. Never was able to fully get into him, but he had some legit legendary matches. I just never "believed" in him. Like I just didn't buy his main event characters, it always came across as forced to me. I never bought him as "big time", but he definitely was a trusty hand and was pretty entertaining in the ring. Hated, hated, hated, HATED his spear though. Mind you, at least he protected guys when doing it, and that is to be respected.

Pretty much agree entirely here. He was more than "good", and absolutely had a few amazing matches (one or two could be considered top 10-20 of all time easily) but I never viewed him on the level of someone like Punk currently is, or someone like Batista. Always kind of viewed him as a permanent "rotation guy" that never went out of rotation.

By rotation guy, I mean guys who can be plugged into the main event, usually at non-big 4 PPVs, give good or even great matches and maybe even get a run with the title but afterward are put back in the upper-midcard until their next rotation. Honestly, I'd compare him to Miz or Morrison in my eyes, with better matches under his belt and a permanent main event spot.

I guess I never really stopped seeing him as a tag guy.

Also, agree with the spear. Hated that shit. Someone with his build shouldn't be doing a move made to be used by guys who are bulky.
