Did he actually draw back then?
Only against BMJ as a proto-Punk anti-establishment pick.
I couldn't tell ya bud, I stopped watching WWF in 2001
>>12939891He was the biggest draw up until 2010 when he came back as a babyface and killed all of his heat>>12939901Cena never drew & failed to sell out most of his PPV's, Edge always sold out every main event unless HHH was involved in some way
>>12939891Only when he worked with draw likes: Cena, Batista and Taker
>>12939924>>12940060these, he drew as the heel that worked with the dimes babyfacessince his return he's just been riding the cheap feel-good old timer injury comeback pop contrasted with a roster completely devoid of any talent
>>12940060He elevated babyfaces who couldn't draw to a position where they could draw at a top level. As babyface he couldn't draw since he was booked so strong that everyone else looked weak
>>12939891Yes and he still is now despite some minor setbacks.
>>12939891no, they even had to advertise a live sex show to try and hotshot some ratings
>>12940271COPEland LOL
>>12940271>>12940321History lesson for zoomers>Edge was groomed all of 2002 to be the future face of the company>During the year he would always get mega-pops to the point of Tazz & Cole nicknaming his fans "Edgeheads">During the legendary Edge Eddie No DQ match Edge broke his neck and had to leave the company>This killed his push dead, and Cena ended up getting in his place due to nobody else being young enough to build around on Smackdown>He returned at the 2004 Draft to a huge reaction>Afterwards they decided to continue his mega-push from 2002>This backfired since Triple H had already buried everyone fans liked on Raw, so they started to sour on Edge too>First he beats a white hot Randy Orton at Vengeance, continuing the decline of his babyface popularity>Then they booked him in a position to bury Chris Jericho at Summerslam>Fans completely revolted against him by this point and booed him out of his hometown>By Taboo Tuesday he was supposed to win the title from HHH clean since HBK needed Surgery>Instead fans voted for Shawn, cementing the end of his babyface run>This left Edge in purgatory, until the HBK feud in 2005 that he said save his single's career>From this point until 2007 he was their biggest draw by a wide margin>During Edge's mega push on Smackdown, he gets injured in a feud that looked like it was going to elevate Kane>His drawing power declines, as the Batista Undertaker feud continues to light up the show>Edge returns and has to slowly regain all of the momentum he had going for himself from 2004-2007>By WM24 he recovers and is their biggest draw yet again>At One Night Stand Edge beats Undertaker in TLC, supposedly banning him from WWE>Triple H then decides to move to Smackdown & buries Edge clean at The Bash, killing the rest of his momentum and ending his run as a top draw>Throughout the rest of 2008 Triple H buries Jeff Hardy, and has Edge take the pin at Armageddon burying him even more
>>12940402>Edge gets buried by Triple H yet again at the Elimintation Chamber>WWE has to salvage this by having Edge win the other Championship from Cena>Ratings spike huge on Raw at the potential of a Edge vs Cena WM match>This gets ruined as Big Show is inserted into the feud which nobody fucking wanted>Cena goes over yet again at Wrestlemania killing any hype for it dead>By Backlash 2009 nobody gives a shit and assumes Cena will win yet again, making it Anti-Dimes>Edge starts a feud with Jeff Hardy that draws well but not as well as it could have been due to the HHH burials in 2008>Jericho Edge team up to dominate the tag division and potentially feud with DX>Edge gets hurt and at this point has lost any drawing power he had left>By the time he returns he's now top babyface and WWE repeats the same mistakes they did in 2004, turning him into a Anti-Draw.
>>12939891Yes.
>>12939891Lita's titties were the draw.
>>12939891He wasn't a draw, it's revisionist to suggest that he is. He would typically get thrown in with actual draws like cena, jeff, etc. At best his drawing power was limited to >>12940654
>>12939891Litas tits did, not edge
>>12939891Lita was the draw. Never Cope Land.
>>12940654>>12940921>>12940933>>12940947Christian headcanon
He was, objectively, a draw, but not anymore.Sad, since i'm a big fan of his
>>12940060The drawing power of Cena and Taker can be debated. Batista though? Nobody considers him a draw at all.
>>12939891Lita and Vickie were the draw.
>>12940112So much this
>>12939891I didn't give two shits about Edge until he got Metalingus as an entrance. Theme music is that important to me.
>>12939891show me the attendance numbers he drew at house shows as champion...
He was a bigger draw than Reign of Terror HHH
>>12942250This, sharp decline with gaytch champion. Huge spike for Edge Hardy + Hogan HBK in 05. Continues to spike with Edge Cena in 06. Sharply declines in 07 with Cena headling all ppv’s while Edge is on Smackdown
>>12939891I don't think Edge has ever been a draw. He's a good hand to have as a main eventer and I thought it was cool that he got to close WM24 against Taker, but that was more of a gesture than any acknowledgement that he was a draw. Espeically since WrestleMania was such a machine by then.Best he ever did was probably the Cena feud in 2006.
>>12939891There data says nope
