Last week on WWE Raw Edge came out to the crowd in Buffalo to address (his) fans. Not in ring attire, the winningest champion in all of wrestling, like ever, grabbed the mic and gave word on his health. Unable to even lift his arms, he said, he still wrestled day in and day out. It was in the collective memories of the WWE fans of Edge's neck injury. It was his comeback after this injury that saw him put into the spotlight for the big gold, to change the game forever.
Previously one of the mainstays in the tag-team division's renaissance in the early 2000s as part of Edge&Christian, he helped revolutionize a new type of match: Tables/Ladders/Chairs. Oh my was he good, pulling off a spear from a twenty foot ladder and taking bumps like a (future) champ. Ever the personality, it was Edge who changed Kurt Angle's career forever, well he shaved his hair. Oh, and chanting YOU SUCK! during Angle's entrance music, yep, that was good ole' Edge. On the following SmackDown, he relinquished his World Heavyweight championship belt, leaving as the champ and on top. Known to millions as Edge, Adam Copeland thrilled fans and colleagues for the better part of a decade and will surely be missed. The WWE prepared a video montage of Edge's illustrious career, although very impressive, the 3 or so minutes do not begin to do it justice. Edgeheads, unite!
