Edge Interview: Turning Babyface, Working With Christian Again

Last Thursday, Edge was interviewed by Danny Salas of central California's B95 radio station. You can listen to the entire segment at B95forlife.com. Here's what the Rated R Superstar said about:

Turning Babyface: "There's a little bit of a groundswell. I'm starting to fell it a little bit... I think a lot of it too is just tenure. When you're around for a long time the people go, 'God, he's been around here a long time and been in some pretty hellacious matches. And when you start to get that on your resume it gets harder and harder for people to boo you. I think that's what Shawn Michaels ran into and that's what Undertaker ran into. When you get to a certain point - not that I'm in their league or anything - but once you get to a certain point after a lot of time and a lot of matches that have entertained people it becomes harder and harder for them to boo you. That's kind of been my challenge for the last little while is to keep them booing me. I think (Chris) Jericho is going through the same thing right now."

Working With Christian Again: "I don't know. I'd like for it to and at some point I think it has to happen whether it's against each other or whether it's teaming. I still think it's fresh in our audience's minds that it would still mean something. We do have a lot more kids now that might not remember it, but I think enough guys like you and me are still in the crowd that can buzz the kids on it and explain what Edge and Christian is all about it."

I will definitely agree that Jericho will have to work harder to find ways to get people to boo him, because he can only call everyone liars and hypocrites for so long.

As for Edge... I think Edge can get people to boo him no matter what, but I agree that a face turn would be incredibly refreshing for him.

Edge is an excellent heel and during his storyline with Vickie Guerrero (which is the last angle I saw him in) people found plenty of reasons to "boo" him every time he walked out. I think at this point in his career he can still do both roles. I agree though that a face turn could be good for the time being.

Jericho seemed to have more difficulty having success as a heel in his more recent history with the company but I think he can pull it off as well. He just needs to find the right strategy.

I would definitely enjoy seeing Edge and Christian working together or competing against each other again. They were an excellent team and I think they would still have some chemistry together.
