Take away Lita, Edge is a watered down Brian Pillman.
That is an insult to Pillman. Edge isn't a 100th the awesome that Pillman was.
Hence "watered down". He cuts promos laced with worked shoot comments, built around being unpredictable, egomaniacal and "held down". Insert sexual innuendo in place of profanity, and you got a blonde, lanky and less charismatic Brian Pillman in Edge.
Did the Loose Cannon ever have a female valet, I don't remember any, to me the Rated R Superstar character is based on the Franchise Shane Douglas.
