Details on Edge’s physical recovery from recent WWE matches

During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Edge talked about needing longer to recover from matches than he used to…

“I think what I’ve learned is the self-care and recuperation just takes longer. Before when you could do it every night, that’s not the case anymore. Now after a match, I feel great, maybe I could do one the next day, but that’s pretty rare. It’s usually a good two to three weeks until I’m like, ‘okay, I’m alright, I think everything is knocked out of my system.’ The cryotherapy I did, the sauna I did cold plunges, I stretched, I did yoga, I got a massage, all of those things that I never did before, now they’re a necessity.”

Edge also commented on working with younger talent…

“To have this opportunity again and work with a whole new era. I came in in the Attitude Era, then I was there through the Ruthless Aggression Era. But I didn’t get my hands on any of the talents in this new era. Man, when I was like, ‘okay I get to work with Rollins. I get to work with Reigns, and then everybody else that I still want to work with.’ That’s so exciting for me. If I can impart any bit of knowledge while that’s happening. Like Terry Funk did for me, like Jerry Lawler, Hogan, Flair, Shawn, Taker, like all those guys did for me, then it’s a win.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
