Another iconic wrestler that I still admire Samoa Joe. He kept his name & his personality as a good guy or villain.😁

I agree completely. The name/character is often just as important as the wrestler him/herself. People are not interested in Adam Copeland because we spent over 20 years (30 including Edge's 10 year retirement) investing into the Edge character. Changing names is basically changing characters. To make matters worse Edge not only changed his names/character, he also changed wrestling promotions and fans. Not to mention he's 50 years old. When undertaker changed his gimmick in 2000 from the Deadman to the biker he was smart enough to keep his Undertaker name as well as keeping the same SAGA. If Undertaker returned in 2000 as Mean Mark with a completely new gimmick he wouldn't of had the successful career he had post 2000. He wouldn't be Kane's "brother" anymore, the streak storylines never would of happened, etc.

This is facts, imagine if Triple h left wwe in 2010 for TNA and came in as Paul Levesque...no one would care.

Every wrestler that uses a variation of a name throughout their career seem to do better than those that change names completely. Sasha/Mercedes

AEW is the retirement home of professional wrestling.

Sting was also the last Icon of wrestling, from the 90’s. Adams official run ended in 2011, as soon as it was catching steam it ended wont mention the Lita years. Then he came back in 2020. And he was a despicable heel, heels aren’t remembered like baby-faces are.

His best years were no doubt from 2004-2011

Just those titles have no prestige and lack of story

I was the number 1 ''Edgehead'' back in the day and was thrilled when he made his return at the Royal Rumble. Was disappointed when he left WWE for AEW but as a loyal follower of his I decided to check it out. It just wasn't the same and didn't encourage me to keep tuning in. Imagine the matches he'd be having now in the Triple H era.

and this is why AEW will never reach the success of WWE. They have the talent, and they do have amazing matches...but that only gets you so far. they have no real direction, convincing storylines, booking is all over the place, etc. they just throw together matches for the sake of saying "oh so and so wrestled so and so"...okay and? they have the potential to really rival wwe but again they don't have a clear set goal

Edge or Adam copeland he is a wwe guy the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Wwe rejects about sums them up perfectly

100% AGREED!!! I'm a Edge fan and my 2nd favorite wrestler of all time after Triple H...but Adam Copeland I will never buy into since he first got there...I will never be an Adam Copeland fan...But will always be The Ultimate Opportunist fan Edge...and that's why I can't buy 2k24 because Edge not being on it...not even as a legend

Facts 💯💯💯

I never really was thrilled with Edge as a singles. Even in his prime. Not to say I disliked him or he didn’t have some great matches along the way, I just was never excited to see him. It was just “alright I guess”.

hes an anging veteran, with a midcard belt. no one goes to events for that what are you talking about he was always meant to be enhancement lol

The problem is that AEW have all of these great talent but they're not sure what to do with them. You can only go so far with just having great matches. Without any build or storylines, it's just an indie show on national TV. Another thing too, they lack advertisement. Only hardcore wrestling fans know about AEW and other wrestling companies. Not a lot of casual wrestling fans know about AEW. If you go ask people in the street and ask them if they watch wrestling, most people would think of WWE. There are people who may not know that Edge, or now Adam Copeland, is in AEW. People may not know that Chris Jericho is AEW, or Big Show, Sting, or any other well-known former WWE/WCW wrestler. There are a lot of Edge fans. Some of those fans may have trickled into AEW but saw how the company presented themselves.

honestly i forgot Edge went to AEW

I heard his speech was good

Adam Copeland is not a star. Edge is a star.

A 3 million dollar and is used every week on. Dynamite this guys sounds like a wwe mark

AEW is where all the wwe rejects goes

AEW needs to get serious. Send the jokers packing. Thank them for building the brand, but it's big time now. Tone down the foolishness and get some actual control.

Marks in the comments 😂 this is what wrestling fans have come to and Aew went downhill the day CM punk left 💯

hhh could never cut it on his own. Always had to have his little clicks backing him up.degenerent x, evolution,Steph/Vince,weak.

ADAM IS EDGE! jk Maybe he needs a new gimmick or just rip off NWO. simple math

So what you are saying is that you are a WWE zombie that can't make a point.

I’m a aew and wwe fan and your admitting aew needs help with storylines and seat I agree but how can you say wwe is dead when the viewership is doubling and tripled compared to aew same with seats wwe is making smaller stages due to seat demand so stop being a aew mark and enjoy both companies because there both growing at a fast pace

AEw suck WWE got them unlocked
