10 Iconic Wrestling Personalities Even The Haters Love

10. Edge

The character of Edge certainly hasn't been a beloved figure throughout his entire career, as he built his name by being a massive heel. Adam Copeland performed his villainous role so well that he became one of the most hated wrestlers in SmackDown and Raw history, thanks to his real-life issues with Matt Hardy, and the ultimate opportunist gimmick.

It seems that since he built the majority of his career as a despised figure, he would never belong on this list, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Edge is a wrestler who has a massive amount of respect from the fans, and even those who love to hate on the business cannot throw any his way.

In an industry full of toxicity and politics, few wrestlers clearly love their jobs as much as him. When he was forced to retire from WWE in 2011, fans were heartbroken because they knew how much it meant to him. Because of this, once he made his shocking return in 2020, everyone watching gave a massive pop.

Respect, appreciation and love, there's not a single hater who doesn't at least feel some of this for Adam Copeland.
