The five-second pose
Edge and Christian
Edge and Christian are real-life best friends since childhood who ran as a regular WWF/WWE team from 1998 to 2001. As the comedic-heel foil in the Attitude Era tag trilogy, they turned smug charisma and ladder-match nerve into multiple tag title reigns before both broke out as singles main-eventers.

Signature
Their act ran on the five-second pose, the con-chair-to and a fearlessness on the ladder. Their wars with the Hardy Boyz and the Dudley Boyz built the TLC match into a WWE staple.
The partnership was a launchpad. Edge became a multi-time world champion and a WWE Hall of Famer, and Christian won world titles of his own, both careers rooted in the timing they sharpened as a duo.
