Ойын-сауық

Adam Copeland (@ratedrcope) is a professional wrestler signed with AEW, he is also known for his 25-year career in WWE where he performed under the name "Edge".

    My grandmother passed away the morning of RR when he returned, as expected, it was horrible. I got back from being with family and put on RR, seeing him, made it way less worse. I tweeted this to him that night, and he "liked" it... that's all I needed from him. Just him to see it. I'm forever thankful for Adam (Edge).

    What I gather most from this interview, is that Adam cares so deeply for his family and especially his daughters. It's so often in the wrestling business we hear about absent or neglectful fathers, that when you hear someone like Edge constantly mentioning his girls, or his wife, and genuinely being so ecstatic to talk about them, it's heartwarming as hell. I'm so happy he's so happy, man deserves the world.

There are things I love about some companies, and some things I don't... but as a fan... I just want as much wrestling as I can get, no matter what "initials" are behind it. Adam has been my favorite since I saw him do a jobber match on WCW... I knew then... that kid was special....and I was right. I am a fan of Adam's for life.

    Waited so long for this interview. As somebody who is a HUGE Edgehead, I was really hoping you’d interview him, Chris. This is literally my favorite interview ever. What I noticed from watching multiple Adam interviews, he’s always managed to be an amazing storyteller. Pair him with an incredible interviewer and we have the best Edge/Adam interview there is. Both of you, well done! Truly loved this episode and was so excited for it! ❤

    Chris, I have watched many of these but this one with dam is by far my new all-time favorite. What a great guy! Well, actually that applies to BOTH of you! Chris, you have a trait that too many interviewers lack. Others listen waiting for an opportunity to speak. You do the complete opposite. You ask great questions and then you sit back and allow the other person to answer. You know when to interact without stepping on top of the other person. As for Adam, he is pretty damn amazing. The excitement in his voice and in his eyes when he talks about what he is doing in AEW is a beautiful thing. Kudos Chris on one of the greatest interviews that you've ever done. Thank you for doing so.

    Yeah gotta admit, as much as a shitshow AEW has been recently because of Tony Khan, at least Edge had a reason to go to AEW that’s not along the lines of “Fuck WWE”, he’s already done everything in WWE, there’s not much left for him to do anymore, so what’s left is that he should retire with his friend, Christain who is in AEW.

Again just my opinion but a big reason i think that is because they've managed to get actual locker room leaders in Danielson and Copeland.
