DISCUSSION - Will Edge's gimmick "lose steam" if he doesn't main-event WM-21?

In my opinion (and a lot of other people's opinions), Edge is arguably *THE* hottest thing in the WWE right now......and no, I don't mean in a homosexual, Pat Patterson, Jeff Hardy, kinda way.

Ever since Edge turned heel, his character has been completely revitalized and refreshed. His in-ring ability, while not stellar, has also been a lot better of late.

Some people have gone even far enough to say, that Edge's current personna is the best character that the WWE has seen in YEARS.....and for the most part, I just may agree with that.

So with that in mind, do you think that Edge NEEDS to be in the main-event at Wrestlemania 21?

-When you have a character that's "hot", shouldn't you maximize on it? In the past, we've seen guys like Kane (2003), RVD (2001), Kurt Angle (2001), and Eddie Guerrero (2004) all been EXTREMELY 'over' with the fans, only to have the WWE either

a) Fuck it up

b) Not maximize on the 'overness'....and "miss the tide" so to speak

If Edge is not given the title soon, could he lose his momentum?

-Unless you've been living under a rock lately, it should be fairly obvious that the WWE plan to have Batista/HHH as their RAW main-event for Wrestlemania. The question I have for you folks, is if Edge should join the Batista/HHH feud and make it a triple threat match.

-From now until February or whatever, Edge feuds with HBK. At the January PPV, Edge and HBK battle to a draw/DQ finish or whatever. In February however, Edge goes over HBK cleanly.

-It's at this point that Edge interjects himself in the Batista/HHH feud. Hell - Maybe even have Edge defeat Orton cleanly to qualify for this match (Bischoff sets up an Orton/Edge match....winner gets to join the Batista/HHH match).

At Wrestlemania, I'd even go as far as saying that Edge should win the title (just incase Batista isn't as 'over' as a face as a lot of people hope.....or the WWE management projects).

My biggest fear is that if the WWE holds off on Edge, they will once again 'miss the boat' on an extremely intriguing character (like they did with RVD in 2001 for instance).
