I just realised something about Edge...
He is the most decorated superstar in WWE history.
2-time WWE Champion 1-time World Heavyweight Champion 5-time Intercontinental Champion 1-time WCW United States Champion (the last US Champ at the conclusion of the InVasion) 1-time WWE Tag Team Champion 11-time World Tag Team Champion Not to mention he's a former King of the Ring winner as well That's 21 Title reigns, now I know some guys technically out number him; Raven (27), Crash (25) and JBL (22)...but most and in Raven's case all of those reigns were a minute or sometimes less than that of Hardcore Title switches. And unless I miss counted someone, Edge is has won more Championships than any other man in WWE history. Quote:

I don't know how far back you'd consider "WWE History", but as you included the WCW U.S Title I'm assuming WCW titles count... in which case I know Booker T has won more.
Wasn't he like a 10-time tag team champ in WCW? Plus his numorous TV title and US title reigns. 6 World titles in total. And then his WWE US, IC and Tag team title reigns... Pretty sure that's well over 22 in total. |

Oh, and Booker T is a former King of the Ring too.

Okey Dokey.
However, if you were going back as far as WCW Booker T would have beaten Edge... but I guess I needed that clearing up. |

You also forgot that Mick Foley gave him the Hardcore title, so technically he's been a hardcore champ to..and still is i guess. Edge always seems to be the kinda guy that gets title reigns, but you never notice them.

He's actually the only person to hold everyone of the current titles (ignoring cruiserweight and womens).

I always considered Booker T to be the most decorated, but when you think about it, of course most of his reigns occured in WCW. So yes, Edge is the most decorated, and probably has been for a long time. The World Tag Team and IC Title reigns were probably enough to do it for him. |

Then again, in order to make that count I am counting Triple H unifying the IC Belt with the World as a new IC title reign. But that's my damn judgment call.

The conclusion: Edge rules. It proves that he has worked his way to the top, not just suddenly appearing as a main eventer like most of todays 'stars'.
I think he's also something like the 3rd longest serving WWE wrestler, behind Undertaker and Shawn Micheals |

I think Flair is also up there. 16 time world champion, plus all the tag team, ic, and US runs he has had.

I can't understand why a bigger deal isn't made out of it, (well, yes I can because they don't want Edge overshadowing Cena)...but WWE rarely acknowledges Edge's stats and accomplishments. I know JBL did the other day on Smackdown, maybe they're going to start talking about it more, I don't know. But still, I wish they would pay more attention to it and make a bigger deal out of it.

And BDC, I'm only talking about who WWE made Champ, yes Flair has won 'em all, but WWE only crowned him Champion on 6 occasions (2 WWE, 3 Tag, 1 IC) |

No. WWE has done next to nothing to contribute to Flair's legacy. In fact, at times they even self sabotaged themselves into a hole to save their babyface Hogan (which then caused him to drop the belt to Bret Hart of all people). Now, in the twilight of his career, WWE is making more money off of him and his legacy (which they have nothing to do with truthfully) than WCW or NWA ever did. Which is fine, they sit a top the mountain, but that does not mean that WWE did right by Flair or by me as a Flair fan until recently...once it was FAR too late. WWE could have been a shinning page of Flair's book, but in my opinion, it was one blown spot and missed oportunity after another.

Vis as already noted along with the Hardyz and Henry, only make sense if you DON'T count they're firings/rehirings. Venis debuted in May of 98...Edge in June. Funaki came in March of 98. Have a nice day. ![]() |

His legacy was so great when he was jobbing to Rico though I guess. Let's not get into who posts dumb shit now either. |

Thurman "Sparky Plug" was left out of the Veteran's list. He debuted at the 94 Rumble I believe.

If the European Championship was brought back (or replaced with another third-tier belt), he'd be a Grand Slam Champion then wouldn't he?
