On this day I see clearly

25 Years of Edging
-
egde : i've seen some of yout stuff chris : you think you know me ?
-
Something I noticed that makes CVV a great interviewer is how he shuts his mouth and listens. So many interviewers are too keen on asking their questions in a specific order and don’t let the interviewee just speak
-
" Am I raising good human beings, thats my legacy " wjat a freaking quote.
-
Best Edge interview I’ve seen, touches on almost everything
-
I don’t care if he went to AEW, as long as he’s happy that’s the main thing. An absolute legend of the industry and a true childhood idol for many (myself included). Thank you, Adam Copeland. Wish him nothing but the very best as it’s the least he deserves 👊🏼

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).

Royal Rumble 2020. I was getting ready for school. I got my books and walked into the living room to hear "You think you know me". I dropped my books to the floor and my jaw fell along with.
-
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.

Lmfao, Dom's face on the punching dummy and money in the bank briefcase. 😂
-
That was the greatest return in WWE history. Edge was supposed to NEVER wrestle again. Cm punk was shocking and Daniel Bryan as well but 9 years seemed like he was for sure never coming back. Thank you for those goosebumps and memories Edge.
-
2020 Royal Rumble return was such a goosebump moment!
-
I love these longer interviews. This one is up there on my favorites that I've seen you do. Just for how it feels like 2 friends reuniting and just talking. Comfy as hell
-
He’s done it again! Chris you’re such an amazing interviewer! Allowing Edge to just speak his mind was an absolute honor to listen too. Chris’s production team is also an absolute unit, good work team ❤
-
Love what he said about watching EVERYTHING... I have been a wrestling fan for 56 of my 61 years.... I watch ANY and ALL wrestling I can. 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.
-
This is a great interview Chris. The thing that I like the most about all of your wrestling interviews, is that you give the wrestlers a lot of time to talk, instead of cutting them off mid sentence like a lot of other interviewers do (which is one of my pet peeves).
-
Edge has The best theme song imo
-
Thank you, CVV, for an amazing interview. Thank you, Adam, for everything you have done for all of your fans over the years. What an amazing human being. Wishing you nothing but the best. Rated R forever
