Edge was great but not on my list of all time greats...he got belted too ofen like I said. Same as Cena. I'd really rather see guys like Kane be champ for awhile...but that seems to never happen. I would NEVER put Edge over Taker..and we all know you worship at the altar of Shawn.

You know if you look at the title histories its become the thing now for guys to be belted way to often.


Look back through the history and see how often guys got belted, even super popular guys. Guys like Austin (6 time), Rock (6 or 7 time), Hart (5 time), Taker (whats he now, finally 5 or 6 times?), Foley (4 time I think), and such.

Now guys like Edge, Cena, Orton (all guys I like btw), are 8 time or more champions in a much smaller time frame (in terms of being a top guy) then some of those other guys and it makes you wonder why they change the belt so damn much.


I mean HHH used to take so much BS for being champion too much cause he's a 12 time Champion. 12 times over a 12 or 13 year run as a main eventer as opposed to Cena and Edge who are 11 time champions a piece over a main event run of about 7 years.


They pass the belt around way to much for my taste. Guys are champion 1-3 months now, lose it a few weeks, get it right back, rinse and repeat. They need more longer reigns with the title.

Can't deny that. I'm an HBK mark.

Edge did get the title alot, but before this punk thing took off, the last "hot" gimmick the WWE had was Edge as the "Rated R Superstar".

BH...tried to quote your post to reply but my phone wouldn't comply...you're right...same guys get belted over & over. I hate that...Taker has only been champ a handful of times compared to others but he has something they never will have & that is the streak.

Paul bearer said it best about that.

He said guys like Taker, Kane, Shawn Michaels, and big Show do not need the title to get over.

Yep. He's got the streak and no one will ever get close to that again.

You could add Mick Foley to that list as well.

There is something definately to be said for certain talents. The titles are not needed for them to simply be over. Those are definately some of those guys who just are able to do without titles. Taker and HBK for sure.

I think Taker has only been champ 5 times...with some tag belts too. Shawn I do not know..but nothing like what Cena or Edge have gotten.

Shawn is a 4 time World Champion. He's had a handful of tag team reigns in there as well (One with Austin, one or two with HHH, one with Cena) but that's it as far as world titles go.

Most importantly he won it only 1 time, for about a month, after he cameback from his 4 years away (back problems). He more than proved he never needed that title to be over.

Same with Taker.

And with Takers' 5 haven't like 3 of them come in the last 3 years? For the longest time he was just a 2 time Champion.
