![]() Out of all the Canadian performers, I don’t think any of them have been more respected and loved by the Canadian fans than Edge. The Canadian contingency has produced some pretty stellar talent like Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Christian, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit and Lance Storm. Edge is one of the most popular pro wrestlers in Canada. Well over the past decade, people now have Edge to add to that conversation because of the vast success he's had in his career. When people think of great Canadian wrestlers, they think Bret Hart. Edge is still to this day known as one of the highest rated WWE Champions of all-time due to his live sex celebration with Lita and his magical T.L.C match with Ric Flair in January 2006. His eleven world championship reigns are noteworthy because of the quality of the run and the magical moments provided by Edge. Edge chased after that title for six years before finally capturing the title in 2006. It’s the one materialistic thing in the industry that proves to everyone that the person holding it is the best that pro wrestling has to offer at that time. The World Championship is the one goal that all pro wrestlers have in mind when they begin their careers. The match that Orton and Edge had really showed not only WWE officials, but also the WWE Universe that Edge and Randy Orton were the future main-event players for the WWE. Edge and Christian had a stellar ladder match at No Mercy 2001 for the very title and that match was voted as one of the top ten PWI matches of the year.Įdge again would have another classic match for the IC title in 2004 as he went up against an up and comer, Randy Orton. The matches that Edge had for the title have been known as instant classics and wrestling clinics. Edge won the WWE/World Tag Team Title a record 14 times with six different partners (Christian, Hulk Hogan, Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho).Įdge continued to climb up the ranks of the WWE by tackling the Intercontinental championship scene. The two redefined the art of tag team wrestling. ![]() ![]() ![]() Edge started out in the tag team division and the team of Edge & Christian became one of the biggest draws in WWE history. Every time Edge worked with a younger guy, he would always make his opponent look like a million dollars and usually would have a good match that fans would appreciate.Įdge’s career was a long journey that had many twists and turns in the road, but he succeeded at every turn. Edge’s rivalry with John Cena is a prime example of two guys who were great “dancing” partners inside of the ring. Edge revolutionized many matches: The T.L.C wars that he and his best friend Christian won back in 20, the money in the bank ladder match that he won in 2005 and the ladder matches he had with guys like Jeff Hardy and The Undertaker.Įdge was a respected worker by fans and by his co-workers he could wrestle with anybody and have a pretty damn good match. Edge came back from two devastating injuries in his career (a broken neck in 2003 and a torn Achilles Tendon in 2009) just to prove how damn good he was in the ring.Įdge was known by fans as a controversial figurehead in the company, but also one of the best in-ring workers that the company has ever seen. Edge started his career as a mid-carder who got some television time, but he ended his career as one of the greatest in pro wrestling history not because of his controversial lifestyle, but because he busted his ass night in and night out to prove to the world that he was one of the best. ![]()
