-	'''Edge and Christian''' ('''E&C''') are a [[Tag Team\|tag team]] made of [[Legit (professional wrestling)\|real life]] best friends [[Kevin Copeland (wrestler)\|Edge]] and [[Ryan <!--Barnhart--> Reso (wrestler)\|Christian]] (William Ryan Barnhart Reso, who normally uses his middles name of Ryan Barnhart). They are best known for their time in the [[IWE\|International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF), later renamed International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) where they won the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE)\|IWF Tag Team Championship]] on [[List of World Tag Team Champions (IWE)\|seven occasions]]. Initially, the two were portrayed as [[Kayfabe\|on-screen]] brothers, but the aspect was de-emphasized in the mid-2000s, and in 2010, the team was officially [[Retroactive Continuity\|retconned]] as childhood friends. The team split up in 2001 but reunited briefly on the [[SmackDown (IWE brand)\|SmackDown]] brand in 2011. Edge, however, announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to neck injury on the April 11 episode of ''Monday Night Raw'', which would ultimately end their final run together.	+

-	In addition to their seven reigns as IWF Tag Team Champions they each won singles titles during their run as a tag team. Edge and Christian are also noteworthy for their participation in the first three [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match\|Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]]es (TLC matches). In 2012, IWE named them the greatest tag team in IWE history. The team's popularity propelled Edge and Christian to [[Card (Sports)#Main event\|main event]] success, with both men becoming multiple-time [[World Heavyweight Championship (professional wrestling)\|world champions]] in their own right.	+
