How would you rate Edge & Christian for their work as a tag team?
And where might you rank them against other tag team units throughout history?
Thanks!

One of the best tag teams. They had great chemistry, smooth charisma, and some hard hitting matches which some might feel may never be duplicated. They delivered on anything, and played off of each other like genuine brothers, and always seemed to make their title reigns worthwhile from what I remember.
I was looking forward to the possibility of seeing them reunite after last year's Royal Rumble after they teamed up together during it, but Christian left for AEW right after, so no such luck(Imagine Edge and Christian vs New Day, or Edge and Christian vs the USOs or the Street Profits).

Untapped potential as ultimate heel team. They were so charismatic individually in their primes, good on them, they were solid headliners when credibility was called for. Alas, their time together as tag partners seemed unspectacular.
Their WM 3 way dances with Hardy's & Dudley's were so hot with Jeff putting his livelihood on the line & Bubba Ray putting guys to the woodshed... they seemed to win more for future workrate - Edge & Christian were clean workers who seemed to be on tv every single week & versatile for all comers.
Both are HOF'ers, easily. I think they're top 8-12 tag team.

Edge is 6'4" with a lean looking frame but he never looked outmuscled. He had that core strength like Randy Orton. I think 6'0" Christian complimented him well as he was a little smaller and shiftier in his movements. I like the match-up with the New Day and their different styles and physiques.

I always found them charismatic too. Edge is great at playing a suspect talk show host, like the Miz today. Christian was completely without remorse, looked like he'd crawled out the gutter and held secretive connections to the adult entertainment industry like Al Snow.
