There is absolutely no comparison between edge and hhh. HHH is legitimately a legend up there with Hogan, SCSA, and HBK.
You're wrong. Like Cena, Triple h and Edge got way too many title reign imo albeit Edges was more of the transitional variety. Plus I called Edge "HHH-lite or a Poor Mans trips" basically showing Triple h more respect, but to say i can't even say that ... meh a force. You still my bro tho.
Triple H got too many title reigns? In case you forgot, ten years ago, triple h was helping to make future wwe superstars when the world heavyweight championship was on raw. Batista, Randy Orton, not to mention he brought back Hogans and undertaker careers and legitimized Kurt Angle by putting him over.
hhh is a wwe hof talent but hhh had the strap at least 5 times too many, i could never put him on the same tier as the scsa's, hitman's, hbk's, taker's, sting's, etc, at best id have him as a leader of the second tier, yes he put a few people over, but thats what ur supposed to do, how can he bring back 2 careers that were still much bigger than his? and angle was already legit and a better in ring performer than hhh, hhh is a good storyteller but an even better politician, he wouldnt be where he is w/o ? steph, hhh=shane douglas with luck
That's just plain hate. Hogan and Undertaker were dead in 2002, that triangle beef with triple h for the undisputed title brought their careers back. If not for the WWE, triple h would be the man in TNA
how's it hate? hhh brought back undertaker?! HOGAN?! really?
After Hogans match with rock at Wrestlemania 18, Hogan was a gimmick until he feuded with hhh for the undisputed title, which legitimized Hogans career again as a legitimate singles wrestler.
i look at that as legitimizing hhh -

Triple H was one of the 3 faces of the attitude era and the head of dx, explain how he needed legitimizing. -
ion know, maybe edge in ring style just appeal to me, i mean he used moves uncommon in wwe, knew where to use em, wasnt too much a high flyer but did his thing when it came to big spots in big matches, when i think to the smackdown heyday the first match i think of is edge and eddie guerrero, but thats just me, i will say he definitely did leave something to be desired on the mic as a heel, but ay, they saw something in edge at a time where the roster still had a lotta big players, and he took it and eventually ran with it
-
I might as well be the first to say it since it hasn't been said yet: Christian >> Edge. The only difference is Edge does have more intensity.

scsa, rock, taker, hbk were leading the attitude era for a couple years while hhh was still rising as european champion, rock was rising too but he'd surpassed hhh, hhh had already had some championship reigns by the time he came up on hogan and prolly was the top heel, but that rivalry was prolly meant to make sure to cement hhh, how did hogan need legitimizing is the real question tho -
christian was definitely underrated, i just wish he'd stop all that clappin in the middle of matches he's been doin last couple years
-
HHH was fresh off an injury in 2002, he was hot property but so was Hogan (both freshly turned faces). Undertaker was doing the Big Evil thing and was killing ? .

Hogan was a gimmick after Wrestlemania 18. Nobody expected this guy to challenge for the WWE title. His matches with hhh for the belt would be nothing without hhh playing the role of ruthless heel punishing Hogan. Have you seen Hogan wrestle in 2002? Slow, rusty, and botch a holic. Triple h carried him. -

man, ill argue later, me giving hogan all this respect is sickening me

Very overrated. Besides take a next man's woman and flaunt it on national tv and punking Eddie off by being in a storyline with Vickie, what solid impact in singles did he make? What did he do to get ahead of many other deserving veteran wrestlers to be in the HOF? Im not saying he didnt deserve to be in it, but not so soon. Seemed like a pity movement/business deal.
-
Cont'd(cause i cant understand this ? edit ? )
What did he do that was so amazing that he was inducted ahead of many other deserving veteran wrestlers? It's like it was a pity move/business deal.
As for the HHH lite comment, I totally agree. Decent worker getting multiple pushes when there were/are others that are just as deserving. -

thats hogan's entire career to me for the most part, but being that he is the biggest name in professional wrestling history, i would think him working with anyone would benefit and add to their legendary status, moreso than them adding to his, of course he wasnt a serious contender, he was there to put people over or make em look good just like hbk and rick flair's later years -
When edge had his baby face run I felt like I was his only fan and he would never get over the ? . Wwe had a knack for not pushing guys wit great move sets. Fast forward and edge is gettin a push as a sneaky villain. Rackin up bloated title reign stats. I was a big edgehead but I. Was disappointed to see how he got his major runs
-
Christian>>>>edge?
Wtf is next, butch reed>>>Ron Simmons?
Mufasa>>>> new jack? -
Edge=Christian ? they even have the same moveset especially when Jay was in TNA and Adam was in WWE. Anyway I don't feel he is overrated I think he got his just due he got he's push he put on good matches , he wasn't terrible on the mic he was dependable enough where he wasn't going to ? his opportunity up(unlike Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton). He was loyal to the company give his body to the company and they rewarded him for that he went out in a classy way .
The underrated thing people don't talk about is dependability think about how eddie died, benoit died, Batista retired, Rey's injuries, Randy's health violations and other stuff, all that type stuff effects what they do creatively its not all about oh well he's over or he deserves it or all that other ? . Its about can you show up for work and do a good job and Edge benefited from other people in the companies short comings . Plus he could wrestle and I'm always going ? with the dudes that can put it down in the ring . -
Edge was that ?

funny how they both wifed sable.
and yes edge is overrated -
I don't see how he can be seen as overrated we seen him work his way up to heavy weight champion he never got any handouts
I was never a big Edge fan but he earned his spot and push
-

cmon man...I was sold on Edge after his match with ? Foley at WrestleMania 22 -
He still overrated

Can't believe y'all ain't talking about the cena/edge feud from 06. That ? was entertaining as ? .

Edge's solo push started in 2001, he was pegged as the "face of smackdown" in 2002. He got hurt and was brought back and pushed again as the top face versus Evolution. When that failed he turned heel and then he didn't generate enough heat by himself so they teamed him up with Lita and began the Matt Hardy thing. That's about 3-4 years of solid pushing. Without Matt & Lita he doesn't make it to the main event for real. He shined once he was there though, I will say that.
Most guys would have been buried for failing that much.
how are you considered a failure if you get injured?
he took the IC strap from orton, who held it for about 8 months. how is that a fail?
edge was getting heat as a heel before they teamed him up with lita. he was the whiner who felt he wasnt getting a fair shot at the world heavyweight championship. lets not act like dude ever had a hard time generating heat by himself as a heelPeezy_Jenkins wrote: »Makaveli Joker wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »Makaveli Joker wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »Makaveli Joker wrote: »Peezy_Jenkins wrote: »Makaveli Joker wrote: »KingGivBiz wrote: »Makaveli Joker wrote: »KingGivBiz wrote: »Edge was triple h lite and many people feel Trips is overrated but the thing is everyone is overrated when you compare them to The Rock or Hogan, but honestly compared to dudes in his singles era...

dude...hhh was a face in that feud as well
That ? he was doing wasn't over. He was feuding with HBK and was barely over. Nobody took Edge seriously, it wasn't until the Matt Hardy feud and the real life heat between the two of them that he was able to make a transition to main event status. They had been trying for 4 years up to that point to make him a main event star.
All that HGH he was taking had his body falling apart.
Dude was supposed to be the one man to take down Evolution he got as far as winning the IC title from Orton. He might have wrestled Batista (I'm sure they wrestled at Summerslam in a triple threat) but he never made it to HHH.Can't believe y'all ain't talking about the cena/edge feud from 06. That ? was entertaining as ? .
05-07 were good years for both Edge and Cena. Their feud was pretty good but it went on too long and most of the match were wack. Their TLC match is gold though.
