Adam Copeland aka Edge: “I’m coming close to the end here so hopefully you’ve enjoyed this ride”
In a video published to his Instagram account, Adam Copeland aka Edge reflected on the six-year anniversary of his return to wrestling as an in-ring performer…
“So I didn’t realize that today is six years to the day since I came back at the Royal Rumble. And for me, every second after that first ‘you think you know me’ at the Rumble in Houston has been a success, man. You know the story. I wasn’t supposed to do this. Yet here we are, six years later. If you had told me six years ago that I’d still be doing this after six years, I would have thought you were a little crazy.
But man, I’ve just been so lucky. I feel like I got my dream career twice. I got to do it the first time, had to retire for nine years, then get it back again. That’s good stuff. But I’m also a realist, and I know I’m coming close to the end here. So hopefully you’ve enjoyed this ride. If you haven’t, whatever. And if you have, great. A little bit more to go. So, yeah, thank you. Thanks for reminding me. And yeah, just reflecting. Reflecting.
It’s been a four-decade career now. And with everything that I did in WWE and then to move to AEW with a whole fresh slate of new opponents. And for six years now, I’ve just been wrestling a lot of the talent that I never thought I’d get to, but have been able to get in there with. So that’s been a blast. And I’m at a stage of life where I don’t do it unless it is a blast. Anyway, thanks.”
