Theme music
o Since November 1, 2004, Edge's current WWE entrance music is Metalingus by Alter Bridge. During 2001-2003
it was Never Gonna Stop (The Red Red Kroovy) by Rob Zombie and before that he used two pieces of WWF-produced production music
entitled You Think You Know Me and On the Edge. Since You Think You Know Me, all of his theme music has been preceded by the
eponymous phrase from that song, including the Burn In My Light / Metalingus combination used for Rated-RKO.
__________________________
His autobiography, titled 'Adam Copeland On Edge', was published on November 4, 2004. Unlike most wrestlers who used 'ghost
writers' to write their autobiographies, Copeland wrote the entire book himself. Mick Foley wrote the foreword to his book.]
Copeland does not smoke. He claims he had his first cigarette when he was sixteen, hated it, and hasn't smoked since.
TATTOOS
Copeland has several tattoos. He has a tattoo of a red and black sun on his left upper biceps (which covers a tattoo of
a muscular shark which resembled the Street Sharks), a star on his right upper biceps with several smaller stars below it,
two skulls wearing bandanas, adorned with flowers and hearts, below said star tattoo, along with a tattoo of a cross on his
left forearm. All of Copeland's tattoos represent a stage in his career: his sun, which Copeland got while recovering from
his neck injury, represents "looking towards brighter days." The cross tattoo represents his time with the Brood,
and his star and skull tattoos represent his Rated R Superstar persona and his self-proclaimed status as the "Guns 'N
Roses of wrestling."
__________________
Copeland has been married two times. He was originally married to Alanah Morley in November 2001, the sister of Val Venis,
but they divorced after three years. He was then married to Lisa Ortiz in 2004, but they soon divorced.

Edge is now world champion of RAW,
known now as The "R" Rated Superstar
He cashed in his money in the Bank option to fight the champ John Cena and won the belt....doing it in low blow fashion
at the last minute. Edge plays a HEEL
He celebrated his victory with a live sex scene in a bed in the ring with Lita. The ratings for RAW this night was the
highest in a very long time.
EDGE and LITA have become heels due to the fact their real-life romance led to the departure of Matt Hardy from the WWE.
Edge's theme song is called "Metallingus" and its from Alter Bridge
Wrestlemania 21:
EDGE won the ladder match ...and now has a shot at the World heavy weight championship anytime he wants.
3/22/05
Edge is on the cover of Foxtel magazine this month. The article inside the magazine just talks about why so many people
still watch WWE and how it continues to draw new viewers in constantly.
3/14/05
Lita and Matt Hardy split up after Matt learned from Edge's former wife that the two had been talking and traveling together.
The two fell in love while on the road and it has continued ever since.
Edge's autobiography, "Adam Copeland on Edge," arrived in bookstores in November 2004
October 21, 2004: Edge married again this time to Lisa who is..part Hawaiian and part German. His first wife was a working
model...they parted while Edge was healing from a broken neck. Lisa is not involved in wrestling and is friends with Chris
Jericho's wife
Off camera, Copeland is humorous, thoughtful and eloquent. On TV, well, he's Edge, a man possessed by the obsession to win
the heavyweight championship ... a man with no friends.

September 2004 EDGE quote:
"Well that's just it.. Edge said backstage at Seattle's Key Arena,
It's my Intercontinental Championship, so giving it up felt like crap ... that pretty much sums it up. It sucked. Any
time that you're not involved ... especially when it's because of injury it doesn't feel good at all. That should have
been me in that Ladder Match. That should have been me climbing those rungs and grabbing my belt back. You know I have a problem
saying it's anyone else's belt, because I never lost it."
(WWE.COM)
August 29th - WWE Superstar EDGE will be signing autographs @ Toys R Us, 2700 Sisk Rd, Modesto CA from 3-5 pm. For more information,
please call 209-825-0088.
Vengeance 2004
EDGE : Winner Via Pinfall- and NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion ...Randy Orton made a good champion during his reign.
His Favorite Bands:
Metallica, loves Queen, KISS, Fear Factory, Faith No More and Foo Fighters.
Edge Quote when interviewed about the booing from his hometown..... "Toronto is Bizzaro World" he said.
(pwinsider )
A recent Edge quote:
On cutting his hair: I'd actually like to get my hair cut, I'm sick of it! If it was up to me it would be short right
now.' (July 2004)
EDGE: When it comes to diet I just try to watch my carbohydrate intake after about 5 or 6 p.m. I'm not super strict, I'm
lucky I don't have to be. I'm not a bodybuilder. I'm a wrestler. I have my weaknesses like chocolate chip cookies and apple
crisp. I corrupted Lance, who is usually extremely strict on his diet, to the occasional dessert.

Edge said, the most difficult part of coming back to WWE after a long absence is training yourself to be abnormal again
His broken hand is progressing nicely, and he just got the cast taken off, in favor of a brace that he'll have to wear
for the next week. Then just have to tape it heavily, he said. He still can't make a fist, however, which affects him in the
ring when he locks up, for example. (credit www.wwe.com)
His sprained ankle is feeling much better, although it's still not 100 percent. Doctors have told him that it's one of those
lingering things you'll feel up to six months.
Edge's weight went down to 205 from 240 after neck surgery...
Today he weighs 250 tries to maintain this weight by eating cookies, chocolate and pies
His workout routine:
When I'm neck injury free, my workout starts with 10 minutes of warmup cardio on an elliptical machine. It gets the blood
and sweat flowing a little bit. After that I do some rehabbing exercises for my still-torn shoulder ligament. I have to do
these for the rest of my career.
Now the workout begins. I vary it every other month or so, but I usually train one body part a day, twice a week, which
means six days in the gym a week. Sometimes with our schedule it's tough to meet, but you try. On this workout, the only thing
I train together is arms. On alternating months, I'll train two body parts together, which is a longer workout, and also means
I probably won't hit the gym six times, more like four or five times in the week. I won't go into specifics because I train
to maintain where I am now, not to really gain size.
My body usually aches too much for that heavy lifting. I end off with some rehab exercises for my still-torn MCL (once
again, for the rest of my career), and hop on the elliptical machine for 20 more minutes of cardio. I go pretty hard on my
cardio. I try to stay around 225-230 strides per minute, which works up a great sweat, and that coupled with my diet and metabolism,
keeps me lean. I end off with abs, which I train every day. Nothing too fancy. three sets of 20 crunches, three more sets
of 20 but I hold at the top for about a two steamboat(not the wrestler), and finally three sets where I do one crunch held
for 20 seconds.
Howard Beach, N.Y.
June 26 -- EDGE will be signing autographs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Video Games Central, 156-40 Cross Bay Blvd. A fee

Raw 4/19/04
Edge's first match on Raw after a 14 month absence...wins Tag Team championship with Çhris Benoit as his tag partner
against Evolution Team.
Edge made a triumphant return as a RAW Superstar. He also showed that he means business, as his first action was to Spear
Eric Bischoff!
Edge will be wearing that red cast on his left arm for 4 more weeks due to a broken hand suffered in a training match
mishap.
If all goes well, Edge will be a World Heavyweight Championship contender if not the World Heavyweight Champion by November,
when his autobiography, Adam Copeland on Edge, hits bookstores.
If I can do a promotional tour with a belt around my waist and a book in my hand, I don't think I can beat that, he said.
Edge wrote the book himself with no help (credit www.wwe.com)

FEBRUARY UPDATE;
Edge is not expected to return to the SmackDown roster until after WrestleMania XX. This does mean that he will miss
out on the large WrestleMania payoff, however, it would be difficult to prepare a match for him this late. He would not receive
medical clearance for any warm up matches, therefore his program at the big event would suffer. The latest is that Edge is
due a major push on SmackDown after WrestleMania.

my guitar flashed through my hear, I hailed a taxi home, yep, a taxi. You see I thought I was coming home on a Sunday. Instead
