So I decided I wanted
to talk a little bit about the WWE Hall of Fame 2012 inductee, Edge. I've
always been a fan of Edge from debut to his last match in WrestleMania 27. His
vignettes and his entrance were so cool to me. I remember his first televised
debut match against Jose Estrada Jr. where he did a somersault over the top
rope to the outside and knocked Estrada out. He later joined The Brood with
Gangrel and his "brother," Christian. The Brood's entrance is
definitely one of my favorite entrances ever, with the ring of fire and
Gangrel's song. It was awesome. But once, he and Christian joined together as
just a tag team, I became a bigger fan. They both had so much charisma and were
so funny. The original TLC matches against The Dudley Boys and The Hardy Boys
were unforgettable and legendary. He's accomplished so much throughout his
career. Edge list of championships include 14 times Tag Team Champion, U.S.
Champion, 5 times Intercontinental Champion, and 11 times WWE/World Heavyweight
Champion. He's the 14th "Triple Crown" champion, Royal Rumble, Money
in the Bank, King of the Ring, and Slammy Award winner. There is no doubt that
he's one of the greats of our generation. I was truly surprised and sad he had
to retire but I must admit that his induction to the Hall of Fame is a little
premature. I do believe he's a legend in his own right, but for Edge to be
inducted before legends like Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, Owen Hart, The British
Bulldogs, and of course someone who I would say is one of the most iconic superstars
ever, Macho Man Randy Savage. I must say it’s an insult to not only Savage, but
to all the legends that got "swept under the rug" by WWE. No matter
what, I've always been a fan of Edge, he deserves his place in the Hall of Fame
and I'm happy he's inducted.
