I wanted to further explain my removal of Garbage Wrestler. I accidentally hit save before I finished.

The basic tenants of the trope are as follows: wrestler known for hardcore wrestling, can't cut a promo, uses few wrestling moves and little or no psychology. If I'm being generous, Edge might qualify under the first criteria. However, if the only requirement for the trope is that one got over with hardcore wrestling, then Triple H and Randy Orton could also qualify. Both of them got over after holding their own in hardcore matches with Foley. Furthwrmore, although Edge was known for his TLC matches and hardcore match with Foley, he was already receiving pushes and over as a tag team wrestler and a singles wrestler respectively. I would argue that he simply cannot qualify as a garbage wrestler without expanding the trope to the point where almost any modern wrestler of the last twenty-five years would qualify.
