Road Dogg: Edge’s Legacy Is The Tag Division And Raising The Bar In TLC Matches

Road Dogg discusses Edge’s legacy. 

Edge has had a storied career in WWE as a multi-time World Champion, a Royal Rumble winner, a WrestleMania headliner, and much more. 

Road Dogg was there for the start of Edge’s career in WWE as a member of the New Age Outlaws, and has seen the rise of Edge, either from within the company or from afar. 

Speaking on his Oh You Didn’t Know podcast, Road Dogg discussed Edge’s career. 

“Edge is great. Edge is phenomenal — well, sorry, AJ, he’s not phenomenal. He’s great. He’s fantastic. Look, he’s even come back and reinvented himself and just doing it again at this high level when the business is so good. The stocks are really booming, and everything is going so great. He still comes back and is still competitive and at the same level,” he said.

Road Dogg continued “This is just me, this is just my opinion. I think Edge’s legacy, in my mind, is the tag team division and raising the bar with the TLC Matches and so forth and so on. I know he had a long career after that of World Championships and so on and so forth. That’s what I remember Edge for, so that’s where I’m at, but is he great? Heck yeah, he’s great. One of the greatest and one of the greatest human beings. I went to Madison Square Garden for SmackDown and had an opportunity to sit for a really long time with him and Gallows and Anderson, and we really had a good time. Edge looked right at me and said, ‘This is what I miss,’ and I said, ‘I know exactly what you’re talking about.’ The camaraderie, man. The camaraderie and the dressing room. Whether I’m hammered on everything or sober as a judge, the camaraderie is still there, and it’s still with like-minded individuals who understand me and vice versa.”

Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy), and the Dudley Buyz (Bubba Ray Dudley & D-Von Dudley) famously competed in multiple TLC matches during the Attitude Era. 

Edge returned to the ring on the July 7 episode of WWE SmackDown, taking on Grayson Waller. 

Edge has said that he’s closer to the end of his career than he is the beginning, but he’s enjoying his 25-year anniversary.
