Edge. But he's always been a favourite of mine. Punk is also excellent.

Orton should have the longest, most successful career. Edge pips him in terms of best all rounder of the lot though.

I also think you've imagined some extra title reigns for Punk

I was really about to vote for Edge, but then I realise that I have been consistently marking out for CM Punk. His rise was pretty quick, too, and if you consider the ECW Championship as a World Title, then he averages out as having won 1.33 World Titles a year, or something like that.
Punk's matches have also been consistently fantastic, and the man can cut a fantastic promo, which is only something he's been allowed to do on SmackDown!. As a face, he has been very fucking over, and as a heel, he has also been very fucking over. There's just something refreshing and different about him. However, when Edge returns, it will hopefully be as a face, which will be a tremendous breath of fresh air for him, as he has not been a face for like five years now. It really just depends on what mood I am in as to which I would consider the greatest. |

Voted Edge, but should have went with someone else (Jericho). I'd add Orton and Punk to a Top 5, and finish the list with Kane who, despite putting everyone and their mother over in the past decade, has been as consistent as anyone in the WWF's history.
Someone, please, give the man one last "career achievement award" push. |

Definitely Edge.
I think CM Punk and Rey Mysterio are right up there in his league though. Orton, Cena and Batista suck (although seven years these three were set to be 'the future'). Meh for Jeff Hardy. |

Edge just because of how well his cocky heel character evolved compared to normal heel characters in the WWE.
Also a huge breath of fresh air in the heel category after years of only Triple H allowed to be the dominate heel in the WWE. |

I have to go with Orton but it's not a runaway though i'd say Jericho is a very close second.

My pick is Edge and CM Punk at a close second. Although Cena and Orton can't be denied. |

Edge gets my vote.
If this were a future one I would choose Punk, but over the past say 6-9 years it has to be Edge. He has come the farthest and has shown that the not so jakked guy can make it as a top guy in the business. I also think he has paved the way for Punk to become the new Edge for the next 10 years. |

Define new generation. Jericho and Edge to me are still part of the Attitude/Invasion Era so I dont really count them as new generation.

Punk and Orton are really the only option for this because Edge really is a product of the Attitude Era and Cena doesn't count either. Last edited by Droford; 09-15-2009 at 04:37 PM. |

In my opinion, this poll has some major flaws:
First off, does Edge really count as a superstar of the new generation? What's the definition of the new generation? Secondly, you are assuming that the number of titles won actually mean anything in today's wrestling. I would argue that in today's wrestling world, the QUALITY of opponents that a wrestler beats is far more important than the number of titles won...be it the world title, tag titles, or any other mid-card title. As much as we all hate the fact that Cena's character, since 2005, has been tailored towards targeting a younger demographic, Cena's name should be on your poll. To answer the question, I think John Cena is the winner to your poll question. Lesnar would have been another guy had he stuck around. With the exception of Orton and Batista, none of the guys on your list have been pushed in such a way that they would be considered the legitimate #1 guy of the company.

Sorry for the Jeff Hardy flaw. The Edge and Mysterio options were tricky. It has barely been 4 years since they entered their prime and jumped a level above mid card.

I'm gonna have to say Jeff, Edge, Rey, Cena, Orton and Batista are the current generation and not the new generation plus Rey and Edge have been in the biz for longer than all those dudes I believe. So I guess that leaves Punkerina.
