I think Edge is easily the best all-around performer in WWE right now.
Easiest example: Unforgiven 2006.
He went out, and in a split second, went from getting huge pop to major heat, in his own hometown.
The La Familia thing is getting old, but that isn't a detrement to Edge. He can work he mic, his gimmick is something fresh, he can work in the ring, and mostly, he deserves his spot. Edge was been in WWE for 10 years, compared to someone like Batista who has been there 6 and has been main-eventing for 3. Batista didn't earn his spot, he just looked the spot. He took steroids, so WWE pushed him. Edge may have been caught in a steroid scandal, but, he's NEVER been ripped, and he's been through neck surgery, so the steroids could've easily been prescribed.

No, I think he's a great heel.

I am an Edge fan, but since late last year when he returned from his injury, he seems to have gotten really stale and the thing with Vickie is basically a re-run of the Edge/Lita programme from a couple of years ago.

I never thought Edge was a main eventer. When he and Christian split up, I knew Christian would be much more interesting but I figured Edge would go further in the WWE. He really isn't that great. I'd never accept him as a credible main eventer on Raw. His in-ring work is pretty bland, as are his mic skills. He's not a terrible talker, but he's nothing special. In my opinion while he does get some legit heat, he also gets some "get off my TV" heat. Most other main eventers such as Taker, HHH, HBK, Cena, etc. are better workers and tell more of a story in the ring. Sorry Showstopper, I know you love Edge and all, but he really isn't as amazing as you think he is.
Short answer: Yes, I do find him ridiculously boring.

I wouldn't say that hes 'boring'. But I will say that I haven't been a fan of his at all since the heel turn. Granted he may make a better heel, I simply have never gotten into him I guess since his departure do to injury a few years ago.

The SD! main event scene is a little stale. I do miss Edge taking lead role. I feel like so much emphasis is on Vickie and Edge almost seems like a sidekick or side character rather than the main attraction. I love Edge in the ring, but he needs to become interesting storyline-wise again.

I'm a great Edge fan but currently he's been really boring, just seems to be doing the same things everyweek.

nah i like him, he works pretty well as heel or face...more as heel tho! Wish he cud be allowed to go by himself shown as a force in wrestling, rather than needing help at every turn!

Yes, Completely, The most boring character in the WWE. I respect that this is your opinion, but I do not agree with you, at all.

I much prefer him when he's on his own( favorite time period would be his World Title reign from May to July of last year), but he's still my favorite guy in the 'E.
He's a very good wrestler. Not HBK or Angle good, but one of the better ones in the company. Very consistent, never really has a bad match.
And great charisma.

I definitely liked Edge better when he was with Lita. They were an awesome power couple when they were both holding the WWE and Women's titles respectively. Edge was actually showing the moniker the Rated R Superstar.
I am an Edge fan, actually he's one of my favorite wrestlers in history, but I just don't like the La Familia storyline. I don't like Vickie, Chavo, the Edgeheads, or Bam Neeley. Edge is the only one that has any talent of the group in my opinion. Chavo is a decent worker no doubt, but I have never been a fan of him. The other three well they don't know a wristlock from a wristwatch, especially Bam Neeley. Edge can deliver a great promo and has had some of the best matches in WWE history. I just don't like his stable. It probably will end soon particularly on July 11th with the wedding or he could be drafted to Raw.

Yeah, but the Edge/Lita thing wasn't really disgusting to watch. They fit together pretty well.

Hells no. I think Edge is one of the best things about WWE currently.

Smackdown is ridiculously boring, tbh. Edge can only work with the same couple guys for so long before things get stale.
Anyway, I'd love to see Edge cheat on Vickie with Maryse. An Edge/Maryse pairing would be epic. It's fresh and it'd restore the "edgy" quality in Edge's character that was lost after the Hardy/Lita saga. Vickie (turned face) makes Edge's life hell, Chavo sides with Vickie and feuds with Edge for the title. La Familia would disintegrate, btw... Bam Neely and Hawkins/Ryder would go away. Edge goes over Chavo, Rey Mysterio returns and vows to get even with Edge for manipulating Vickie. Edge goes over Rey, etc.

I'm not really digging his current gimmick, but I would never call Edge "boring".

His psychology is outstanding, but his ring work is average.
He's easily one of my favs in WWE today.
