Paul Heyman names WWE's "brightest star"

Paul Heyman raved about Edge in his latest UK Sun blog. "(Edge's) charisma alone could carry an entire show—and, bluntly, he's had Smackdown on his shoulders for longer than most people realize—but (Adam) Copeland's portrayal of the scheming, manipulative, opportunistic Edge is played in such a way that you simply want to see him get beat or perhaps more importantly, beat up.

"His heat is so grand, you don't just want to see him get beat up, you need to see it. You have to see it. You crave that moment. You'll even pay for it." To read the full blog, visit the UK Sun.

Powell’s POV: No argument here. Edge is the best heel in the business. He's consistently entertaining both in the ring and on the mic. His performance on Monday night was terrific, and Heyman is right in his assessment that Edge has been carrying the Smackdown brand.
