They need to give him a new character. We've had insane edge, we had crappy face edge, we had intense edge. I say they elaborate on his Rated R superstar gimmick and make him "Sex Machine" Edge.

However not make it stupid like Viscera. Instead they show Edge with divas backstage like ALL the time. And reporters keep finding him boning divas or random chicks backstage on every show. He can come to da ring mad sweaty with a towel and talk bout how he was just backstage having "fun" and is pretty sore for the match tonight.

EVentually wrestlers start to gang up on him because they are jealous that he gets laid all the time and then he can start losing matches because he spends too much time having sex and not enough time training in the gym. The announcers can talk about how he hasnt been in a gym for years unless it was to have sex.

Eventually a GM bans Edge from having sex on his show and Edge goes psycho and starts trying to hump other wrestlers in the ring and to make this gimmick controversial he can pull out a fan from ringside and try to .... her in the middle of the match.

The announcers play up to the fact that Edge can never get enough sex and that this drives him mad and angry especially now that the GM has banned him from having sex while the show is going on. Not only does he attack female fans, but he also becomes really dangerous and violent in the ring and the announcers can talk bout how "Edge's sexual needs have turned violent".

That doesn't sound PG. So no chance it would ever happen. Plus it's just not very intriguing.

Isn't he already one? He had a girlfriend, dated Val Venis's real life sister, stole Matt Hardy's girlfriend, hook up Vickie Guerrero on-air, can I say more?

Didn't Edge have sex in the ring once?

Another possibility is to stop giving him the World Title....

Wait... How about he is the one who attacked The Undertaker, and he comes the NEW UNDERTAKER!?!

Edge was always pretty stale... to be honest. I mean, when people think of the big things Edge did, it's the ladder matches, which had a lot to do with Christian and the Hardys too (Dudleys also). On his own, he's been pretty meh. His mic skills have never been that good, and his wrestling is solid but not always entertaining. And, character wise, the best thing he had going for him was Rated R Superstar, and even that got pretty stale quickly.

That whole part of him humping other wrestlers goes way too far in to the Viscera territory.

We can have Law & Order SVU style Edge. Then to finish the storyline they can have a title vs balls match. If Edge loses he gets fixed...... You have some crazy ideas at times TC. The key is to keep them entertaining. Your playing in Katie Vick territory my friend. One of the lowest points in wrestling and the worst segment I have ever seen. Why was that segment like 15 minutes long.

Weren't you the guy who made a topic about how great Edge was? You seriously think having a character rape women would be a good gimmick and be good for the company?

Says someone that finds CM Punk boring, I highly doubt any of your opinions. BOW DOWN BEFORE GREATNESS, BECAUSE STRAIGHT EDGE MAKES HIM BETTER THAN YOU!

We can bring back the Kaientai guys for it. Afterall, they know what they're doing.

And Funaki can go back to being employed for the next decade for no apparent reason. He's probably already that dude from Office Space, still showing up for work and wondering about his paycheck.

Walking around asking who stole his tights........I can't think of anything Funaki did other than job. Mark Henry would be in that boat but somehow he became relavent.

Face Edge and Heel Edge don't work. Why not try a tweener?

I agree. Actually, I miss face Edge. To certain degree, I thought it kind of worked. Now, I can already hear people saying what a nut I am for saying that, but I kind of liked face Edge. While I admit Edge works better as a heel, to me, the heel stick has gotten a bit stale, and it was just time for him to be a face.

Also, does not help matters, either, that the heel turn came out of nowhere. Say what you will about the face run, but at least that turn had a progression to it.

The problem with Face Edge is that he had nothing to work with. If it had been E&C Edge having fun instead of "I have all the charisma of the Great Khali" Edge that we got, he'd still be a face now. Another thing that would have helped Edge get over more is the fued with Jericho. That had nearly a year of buildup and they did nothing with it. No hype was given to the match, especially in comparison to the other two main events. I don't even think they tried with face Edge.
