Edge had no business, NONE accomplishing all that he did.
That said, Edge spent a more sustained time as a legitimate singles star.
This guy started out in a edgy Attitude era team
just like Jeff, and transitioned into a singles star,
just like Jeff.
Over Edge's career, I saw him work and get great at the comedy side, work and get great at the mic work and acting side. He developed in ring, as his selling and facials became so good as a singles guy. His offense didn't really grow, but it wasn't like he had a boring moveset at the time.. He was then able to transition into a face fans respected. He was given opportunities and he did well enough with them to gain more opportunity. That's a dependable talent that you can count on, that is decent or above average in the areas they needed him to be... I think he accomplished exactly what he deserved imo.
Same with Jeff, a home run as a face, and really you just needed to worry about was he okay out of the ring or not. Didn't they fire/suspend him WHILE he was the world champ??? That's someone who has no business even being in a world title match....
