The most decorated person in WWE history is not perennial '80s champion Hulk Hogan, perennial 2000s champion John Cena, or even perennial husband-of-the-boss'-daughter (and champion) Triple H.

That honour falls to Edge, who in a relatively brisk 15 year WWE career amassed a frankly ludicrous haul of accolades. Not only is he the only person to have accomplished the promotion's revised Grand Slam of World/Tag/US and IC championships, but he has also the only superstar to complete the coined-this-second Alternative Grand Slam of Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, Money in the Bank, Elimination Chamber and, er, Bragging Rights. And if WWE's bluster is to be believed, he also contested the company's greatest ever match opposite Randy Orton at Backlash 2020.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
