WWE Bio

Long before he was the “Rated-R Superstar,” Edge just totally reeked of awesomeness. Never one to hide his sense of adventure or humor, Edge was one of the cornerstones of the “Attitude Era.” Often aligned with his best friend, Christian, Edge was always comfortable engaging in wacky, offbeat shenanigans. To be kind, Edge & Christian had a very interesting way of looking at things. But the truth of the matter is that the two formed arguably the best tag team in WWE history, with seven World Tag Team Championship reigns to their credit. But even in those early days of his career, Edge showed glimpses of the Hall of Fame-level singles competitor he would soon become. He won the Intercontinental Championship several times and outlasted the field to win the King of the Ring tournament in 2001. It was during this period that Edge began to put all the pieces to greatness together. WWE ’13 will afford fans far more than a five-second pose for the benefit of flash photography. It will bring back Edge, the man that helped re-introduce the concept of the “conchairto” to modern society, in all his mad-capped glory. And that just totally reeks of awesomeness, right?

Breakdown

Edge from 1999 is tag team Edge. He’s not quite as strong as the legend that he has become, but he is still well-rounded and he’s got a great ability set with Comeback and Springboard Dives, with Move Thief thrown in to keep it interesting. He is designed to be paired with Christian in tag team matches as an homage to their rise in the Attitude Era. With his 100 Tag Team attribute and the Clothesline & Spear Tag Team Finisher. When you are on your own, hit your opponent with an Edgecution 2 Signature Move and follow it up with a Wake Up Taunt and the running Finisher Striking Spear.
