*Rundown of Edge's WWF History* (most info courtesty of WOW magazine, January 2001 issue)
 

*Summer 1998: Edge's first real feud is opposite Gangrel, a blood-spewing vampire. The two are portrayed as complex characters with mysterious pasts.
*August 30, 1998: Edge makes his WWF pay-per-view debut at SummerSlam by teaming up with Sable to defeat Marc Mero and Jacqueline.
*September 27, 1998: In the opening match of the Break Down PPV, Owen Hart defeats Edge after Christian, making his debut as Edge's brother, distracts Edge. Christian then aligns with Gangrel.
*Fall 1998: Edge feuds with Gangrel and Christian, then turns heel and joins the two to form the Brood. The three are featured in mid-card matches.
*January 1999: The Brood joins the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness. After not fitting in, they leave the Ministry and seem to lose direction in WWF storylines.
*Spring 1999: Michael Hayes starts a feud with the Brood, eventually introducing the Hardy Boyz to WWF fans.
*June 27, 1999: At King of the Ring, Edge & Christian face the Hardy Boyz for the first time on a WWF pay-per-view. The Hardyz win the #1 contenders match after Gangrel spits blood in Edge's face.
*July 24, 1999: Edge beats Jeff Jarrett in Toronto for the Intercontinental Title, his first WWF championship. His mom, Judy, watches from the front row.
*Summer 1999: Gangrel turns on Edge, forcing Christian to choose sides. Christian sides with Edge and the two form a tag team and begin to turn into fan-favorite faces.
*Fall 1999: Edge & Christian face the Hardy Boyz in five matches called "The Terri Invitational Tournament," in which the victors win $100,000 and the managerial services of Terri Runnels. The series culminates at No Mercy on October 17, 1999, when the Hardyz defeat Edge & Christian in a ladder match. The next night on RAW, the two teams turn into full-fledged babyfaces when all four members turn on Gangrel.
*April 2, 2000: Edge & Christian capture their first WWF Tag Team Title by defeating the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz in a triple threat ladder match. After the win, Edge & Christian begin to display cocky charisma by insulting the crowds wherever they appear. They also hold onto the title by intentionally causing disqualifications in their title defense matchs.
*June 25, 2000: After dropping the WWF Tag Team Title to Too Cool on May 29, 2000, Edge & Christian regain the title at King of the Ring.
*Summer 2000: Edge & Christian perfect their heel personas with witty backstage scenes with WWF Commissioner Mick Foley. Before matches, they pose for the crowd "with the benefit of flash photography." They crack everyone up by inventing words like "heinocity" and "ramipercussions" and call certain people "reekazoids."
*September 24, 2000: Edge & Christian lose the Tag Team Title to the Hardy Boyz in a cage match at Unforgiven.
*October 22, 2000: After Foley forbids Edge & Christian from getting another title shot against the Hardyz, they dress in full-body, gold luchador outfit and masquerade as 80s jobber WWF tag team the Conquistadors. They defeat the Hardyz for the tag belts at No Mercy for their third Tag Team Title reign. However, the next night on RAW, the Hardyz get the last laugh when THEY dress up as the Conquistadors and defeat Edge (Christian was unable to perform because of injury after the Dudley Boyz put him through a table backstage) for the tag team championship.
*December 10, 2000: Edge & Christian defeat Right to Censor, K-Kwik & Road Dogg and the Dudley Boyz at Armageddon to capture the Tag Team Title for the fourth time.
*December 18, 2000: Thanks to Kurt Angle's big mouth, Edge & Christian are penalized by Mick Foley (after Edge exhibits some Scorpio temper) by having to defend the tag title against the Rock and the Undertaker on RAW. Although Edge prevents Undertaker from pinning Christian by hitting him with the ring bell, he soon after falls victim to a People's Elbow, and the Rock scores the three and takes the title away from the two who reek of awesomeness.
