Edge

Name - Edge
Height - 6'4"
Weight - 240 lbs
From - Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Finisher - Edgecution

Titles Held:
  - WWE Tag Team Titles (9)
  - WWE Intercontinental Title (4)
  - WCW US Title


How many of us can say that we accomplished our lifelong dream? How many of us
can say that we're doing exactly what we wanted to do when we were children?
Edge can.

One of the brightest young stars in WWE, Edge sat on the floor for WrestleMania
VI at SkyDome in Toronto, watching Hulk Hogan battle the Ultimate Warrior.
Although he was only 16 at the time, Edge already knew that he wanted to
follow in the footsteps of Hogan and Warrior; he wanted to be a WWE. Twelve
years later, almost 70,000 fans watched Edge defeat Booker T at WrestleMania
X8 at SkyDome in Toronto. Edge had already accomplished a career highlight at
SkyDome -- in July 1999, he won the Intercontinental Championship there.

The Canadian Superstar has excelled in both singles and tag-team action. Along
with his brother Christian, he won the Tag Team Championship seven times, a
record for a duo. Edge & Christian were also part of some of the most memorable
tag matches in history -- including the Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000;
the Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Match at SummerSlam in 2000; TLC II at
WrestleMania X-Seven; and TLC III on the May 24, 2001 episode of SmackDown!

Edge officially became a force in the singles division when he won the 2001
King of the Ring Tournament. A few months later, he defeated Christian in an
epic Ladder Match at No Mercy 2001 to become the Intercontinental Champion.
In fact, he has already won the Intercontinental Championship on four occasions.

But his tag team days are definitely not behind him. On July 4, 2002, Edge
paired up with his boyhood idol, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, and won his eighth
WWE Tag Team Championship! On Nov. 7, 2002, he won the championship again,
this time with Rey Mysterio as his partner.

Tactics

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| General                                                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Edge is a fast character, so use this to your advantage. At the start of the
match, knock opponents down with his Clothesline. When he's down, make use of
your holds, namely moves like the Surfboard or the Leg Lock, or even fury
punches. Once you've battered him up a bit, it's time to hit some bigger moves.
While he's down get on the turnbuckle and when he gets up, hit a big time move,
e.g. Missile Dropkick to dish out some major damage. Remember that striking
moves can often stun an opponent, so if you have a Smackdown! and you catch a
good blow to your opponent, then hit your Edgecution as quick as possible.

Edge, being a fairly light character, is also not as tough as he might be.
Therefore, try and do lots of quick, running moves. If you get caught in
several grapples, especially by someone powerful, then slides out of the ring,
wait until they slide out, then slide back in again, climb the turnbuckle or
run off the ropes, then hit them again. Rinse and Repeat.

When you're facing someone lighter, then it may be best to go toe to toe with
them, especially if they have speed as well. When you're fighting normally, try
and use your DDT and Hurricanrana to take them down, and again apply holds, or
stomps to them while they're down. Often you can hit something like the DDT,
and they'll be down for 2 or 3 grapples, leaving you plenty of time to put some
hurt on them.

Always watch out how much damage you're taking, and if you need a breather,
then slide out of the ring, and slide back in when they come out, then slide
back out when they come in, which will help you recover. If you're waiting for
an opponent to get up, then taunt, as it will increase your Smackdown! meter,
which will allow you Finishers, which can defeat even the toughest comers.
