“Hi, I’m Adam,” he said. That’s how Edge introduced himself to me during WrestleMania 22 weekend. Due to spinal stenosis, Edge is retiring as a WWE wrestler. It was cool watching him evolve from Gangrel’s sidekick to a hilarious mid-carder. While I enjoyed his goofy days with Christian the most, I was impressed that he was able to become a top face and an excellent heel. Sadly, he has to retire early (by wrestling standards). The good news is that the doctors diagnosed his affliction early and he won’t cripple himself in the ring. Who knows what could have happened if his ladder match with Alberto Del Rio went as scheduled.
I know that some of you discussed this yesterday, but I wanted to give Adam Copeland a.k.a. Edge his own space. He definitely entertained me (I had the benefit of flash photography) over the years. I’d love to hear your favorite Edge moments. Kazoos rule!!!
There was a bit when Edge & Christian were always hanging out with Kurt Angle, and it was somebody's birthday but Kurt Angle had to wrestle HHH. So those three were all backstage and Edge tells Kurt to go beat the snot out of HHH's never ending nose, and then they could all eat cake. Which is when Christian said "Yeah, cake totally rocks the body that rocks the party." I damn near pissed myself I was laughing so hard.
I miss those days.
It's sad he'll have to retire. I always liked Edge a lot. But better to walk away while you can still walk and think straight than the alternative.
I loved Edge when he was tag teaming with Christian, but unfortunately I never really liked him as a solo wrestler. Night in and night out he butchered on of my favorite finishers, the spear. Youtube Goldberg or Rhyno if you want to see how it's supposed to be done.
My favorite Edge moment is easily the No Mercy ladder match that was the finals for the Teri Invitational against the Hardyz.
