Who would you have seen becoming a World Champ first...Edge, Christian, Matt, or Jeff? + BQ?

For those who have been watching Edge, Christian, Jeff, and Matt's entire career (or at least a good part of it)...Who would you have predicted would have won a World Title first? Who would have been in the main event picture before the other three?

BQ: Were you surprised at how it actually did happen?

BQ2: Who deserved it more?

They all do deserve it, but in your opinion, who should have gotten it first?

    Edge.

    And He did , But Only by a Month before Christian (If You Count the NWA Title).

    Otherwise , Christian & Matt Hardy haven't Even Been True World Champions Yet...

    Matt has Just Never had "Main Event" or "World Champion" been a Part of Him. You just Don't Think - Matt Hardy & World Champion in the Same Sentence.

    Jeff was always just too Crazy back in the Day. He was too F'N Reckless. Then he went to TNA (Where He had the Best Shot at a World Title - Again , If You count the NWA Title). Then He Returned & was Suspended (Again). His Personal Life Pretty much Unraveled. But Once He Finally got on the Up & Up , He had Potential. Then it Happened - He DID Win a World Title.

    We just better be Thankful Stephanie wasn't in Complete Control of Booking , because She was Completely Against Jeff as Champ.

    Christian had Potential , but was Always in Edge's Shadow , much like Matt w/ Jeff. Plus , Christian is a Small Guy - Not gonna Help You in WWE. I Never thought Christian a True World Champion back in His Original WWE Stint. Just a Mid Carder. And as of Today , I'm Still Correct (I don't Recognize the NWA title Anymore as a "World Title")

    BUT , Now that I've Seen Christian Hold the NWA Title , & Basically Carry TNA for 2 Years , I WOULD like to See Him a WHC in WWE.

    Edge just Always had "It" about Him. You could just Tell Early on. Even back in the E&C Days , Edge was the Leader , and Christian the Sidekick. He always had & does have Great Mic Skills , a Pretty Damn good Wrestling Move-Set that He's Adapted Over the Years , & is a Big Guy who's Very Athletic - Which Helps , A LOT in WWE w/ Vince. When E&C Broke , Edge was in a Great Feud with Matt Hardy , that could've been the Main Event. While Christian was just an Average Mid Carder. Christian Left , & Edge just Sky Rocketed. Christian Was the leader of TNA (Which doesn't mean Much) While Edge Owned WWE for the Past 3 Years.

    Now that Christian is Back , We Shall Only have to Wait & See if Vince will let Him Main Event with Edge , or If He'll get jobbed Down to Mid Card Again.

    Hopefully , it's the Former , & Not the Latter...

    BQ - No.

    Because Edge always had that "Main Event" Feel to Him.

    The Other 3 had to Work to get that Feel to them...

    BQ2 - Probably Jeff.

    Starting Out as a 16 Year Old Jobber & All the S*** he's had to go Through , just Throw the Kid a Damn Bone Already. he Worked His @ss Off more than the Other 3 & Put His Body on the Line more than the Other 3 , possibly Combined , in His Career.

    Source(s): Spoken , That I have.

    The WWE isn't about the best wrestlers being world champions otherwise The Rock, Hogan, Orton and Cena would have never been a world champion either. How Vince picks his champions is very simple... Who can make me the most money? Vince has built up people like Orton and Cena to be money spinning puppets nothing to do with how good they are as wrestlers and that's why Matt isn't getting the same chances... Jeff has more fans that spend money on anything to do with him but Matt has older fans that spend more money on ROH DVD's than anything to do with the WWE. Matt is a better wrestler but Jeff is a bigger money spinner and all Vince McMahon cares about is making money so there is only one choice in his mind. BQ: Triple H, Batista and Orton... when was the last time they had a mid card fued?

    I saw Jeff winning the title. He got the most out of the fans and that's what the WWE needed at that point in time. After his drug issues that led to TNA, my prediction went down the drain. After that my money went to Edge who was getting better and better in the ring. He was an extremely hard worker getting into the main event seat and following the Lita incident, I thought WWE might do it just for the sake of controversy.

    BQ: After Jeff's departure, no.

    BQ2: I think Matt deserved it more. He seems to be the best in the ring, he gets a good amount of reaction for the fans, and he always did what he could to please them.

    Jeff Hardy:

    BQ: I wasn't very surprised, since the momentum had been building towards Jeff for at least 4 months to get into the World Title scene. Plus with what happened at the Survivor Series going into Armageddon it seemed to be somewhat obvious Jeff would finally get his chance to shine.

    BQ2: At that moment in time, I think Jeff deserved it more then Edge, Matt or Christian. For one reason Matt was already the ECW Champion so that takes him out of the equation. Christian wasn't on the show yet, which takes him out too, leaving just Edge. Edge at that point had been world Champion 7 times in the course of 2.5 years, which is ridicules by any measure, so to retain the title again would of just been boring. All in all, it all goes to Jeff.

    BQ: Once again it has to go to Jeff Hardy. In my opinion, when John Cena was out injured, Jeff finally started to get the push he deserved. Jeff as I said had so much momentum going into his feud with Randy Orton. It was just like when Orton was feuding with Evolution. When Randy won the World Title off of Chris Benoit and he was finally recognized as potential World Champion material. Then all he had to do was retain the title from Triple H to solidify himself as a legitimate contender. Randy had so much going for him, and when the PPV came around, Triple H completely squashed him in a little more then 5 minutes. It took all of Randy's momentum away and it pretty much scarred his career forever.

    Jeff had the same situation going into his feud with Randy Orton. When Jeff came out at the PPV he had the biggest pop he'd ever had before. Yet....Orton retained his title and all of what they put into Jeff disappeared in a blink of the eye. The next night, Jeff's pop was considerably smaller. Jeff was in all manner of the word 'robbed'

  • Edge- I knew from when I first saw him I said "This Guy is gonna go far."

    The Hardy Boyz

    Once again Edge there was just something special about him.

    BQ:No

    BQ2:Christian if this happend then maybe Vince wouldnt dislike him as much imagine this

    Captain Charisma is Champion
