Title: Edge vs. Christian
Description: Who's Better


Mad Dog - October 21, 2005 12:00 AM (GMT)
This is going to be like rate the wrestler only that I'll be pitting various Raw and Smackdown guys against each other. It'll typically be guys who are in similar positions on the card.

So what you'll do is decide who wins in the following categories and determine who wins. Here are your categories:

Promos
Moveset
Finisher
Match Quality
Misc

Promos: Edge is pretty bland on the mic. He can occassionally be funny but I never remember much of what he says. Christian is highly entertaining on the mic. I typically don't remember what he says either but I'm not tempted to turn the channel like with Edge. WINNER: Christian

Moveset: Edge kills Christian here. Christian's biggest flaw is a lack of transition moves and using too many restholds. Edge's moveset has a little bit of everything which allows him to brawl, get technical or fly. WINNER: Edge

Finisher: Christian has the Unprettier. Edge can whip out the Downward Spiral, the Spear or the Implant DDT if he wants. I'll take multiple finishers over one. WINNER: Edge

Match Quality: I have to give it to Edge. Edge can hit ****s while Christian tops out at about ***1/2. WINNER: Edge

Misc: Edge is really vanilla to me anymore. He doesn't have the star appeal to him anymore. Christian has a lot of charisma and I think if given support could main event. WINNER: Christian

Overall: Edge takes this contest solely on being a much superior inring performer. If Christian could expand his moveset even a little he could easily be the better performer.

Promos: Edge sounds way too forced, and generally sounds like a doofus when he is attempting to be serious. Christian is kinda like Carlito... well, almost. Very good talker who handles himself well, and rarely gets flustered during promos.
Winner: Christian (1-0)


Moveset: Christian relies too much on resting, but Edge is hardly Mr. Malenko himself. I'll give the Edge the nod though.
Winner: Edge (1-1)

Finisher: I like the unprettier a lot more than the weakest tackle ever. Edge hardly ever does his other big moves.
Winner: Christian (2-1)

Match Quality: Toss of the coin. Neither are great wrestlers, and unless in the ring with a worker of their level or better, probably won't do any magic. I call it a push.
Winner: No one (2-1-1)

Misc: Hmm... uh... Christian takes better bumps during TLC matches? And... uh... Edge was a Hulkamaniac! Edge wins already, even if he did fuck his friends girlfriend.
Winner: Edge (2-2-1)

Overall: Hmm... woops, that's what happens in a push. Both have their strong and weak points. Edge might have a 'slight' edge (no pun intended) as far as wrestling talent (not a significant amount to give him the point), but personalities are pushed more than wrestling abilities. Just ask Chris Benoit. Winner by decision... Christian

Promos
Christian, by far. I've been a big fan of Christian's mic work since 2000, though I've only become a fan of Edge's mic work over this summer.

Moveset
I like Christian's finisher better, but I think Edge has shown a better ability to have solid matches with various opponents. I even liked his match with Kane at Vengeance. Edge takes this one.

Finisher
Christian, by a long shot.

Match Quality
Edge. Christian has had his share of good matches here and there, but Edge is more consistent and has had a few **** in his day.

Misc
They tied up 2-2, so this is the tie-breaker. I think in general, Edge is a better performer and more valuable to WWE. However, I think that given the right push, Christian could be up there as well. I'll give this to Edge, but barely.

Promos: Edge has lost his edge in this department. Christian has really developed in this area over the years, Christian wins hands down.

Moveset: Edge has a wider variety of moves at his disposal, even if his finisher is a running hug.

Finisher: Christian's Unprettier.

Match Quality: The last real good match I saw Edge in was probably the tag team match he had with Rey against Angle and Benoit. Last good Chrstian match was against RVD in the Ladder on Raw. I don't know really, they both can work pretty well, but Edge always gets the better talent to work with. Edge barely wins.

Misc: Christian wins this one. He's far more watchable, and isn't being followed by Lita.

Christian: 3 wins
Edge: 2 wins
