March
8, 2012 Movie, starring Adam Copeland
(Edge) out March 9th is the latest in a series of nine films that Vince McMahon’s
WWE is financing and shooting in quick succession. The film program is being
supervised by producer and WWE Studios exec Michael Pavone and the slate culminates in WWE’s
first wrestling-related storyline: a biopic of Gorgeous George, the flamboyant grappler who
came of age during the advent of television. The pictures, which usually
put at least one wrestler in a role, cost about $7 million each to make.
2012 inductee to WWE
Hall of Fame announced on Monday night
RAW January 9th
11th times world champion
September to November 2011
Adam
Copeland (Edge) guest stars on several
HAVEN
tv series on Fridays on the SyFy channel He plays a guy who is a BULLET MAGNET named Dwight.
Adam Copeland, the man known as Edge, announced his retirement
on April 11th, 2011, just over a week after successfully defending the World Championship against Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania XXVII.
Edge shocked
the world one last time when he announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to cervical
spinal stenosis, making his match with Del Rio at WrestleMania 27 his final big match.
April 25, 2011 WWE.COM: The Rated-R Superstar had been suffering numbness
and uncontrollable trembling in his arms and hands. This is not the first time Edge has experienced these symptoms of nueropraxia.
An MRI administered at Atlanta Midtown Diagnostic Imaging last Monday was sent to Dr. Joseph Maroon, a renowned neurosurgeon
and professor of neurosurgery at The Pittsburgh School of Medicine. After careful examination of the MRI, it was determined
that Edge would never be cleared to compete again, and thus, he is forced to retire. In 2003, Edge underwent a two level spinal fusion of the discs between his C5, C6 and C7
vertebrae. After being cleared to compete, The Rated-R Superstar returned to the ring, resulting in stenosis of the spine,
or a narrowing of the spinal column, above and below the fused discs. This narrowing resulted in less and less of the vital
fluid needed to protect the spinal cord. Medical professionals cannot clear Edge to compete ever again in WWE since doing
so could result in paralysis or even death.

September
27, 2010 On
RAW's Cutting Edge interview ...Edge smashed the General Manger computer in frustration.
In 2000, he made a cameo appearance in the fantasy
movie Highlander: Endgame, credited as "Road Bandit". During the appearance, actor Adrian Paul remarks "Looks like you've lost your edge, lad" after defeating him in a sword fight. In March 2002, Copeland alongside other WWE Superstars appeared on the quiz
show, the Weakest Link. He was voted out in the first round, and the eventual winner was Kane. On the August 6, 2006 episode of Mind of Mencia, Copeland appeared as Edge as a commentator for "The Royal Religious Rumble". He punched out an actor playing
L. Ron Hubbard to stop Scientology from ruling the world and then speared another actor playing Tom Cruise In March 2007 he alongside Randy Orton, John Cena, and Bobby Lashley appeared on Deal or No Deal. Weeks later he appeared on the sketch comedy show MADtv. Copeland appeared in a Slim Jim commercial where his spicy side causes chaos in a DMV, a restaurant and a hotel.[176] Edge: a Decade of Decadence, a DVD documentary of Copeland's
life, was released in December 2008. The DVD illustrates his wrestling career dating back to 1998 when he entered the WWF. In June 2011, Copeland appeared on the Syfy series Sanctuary, in the season 3 finale episode, "Into the Black" as Thelo, an Abnormal. Copeland will also appear regularly in the second season of the Syfy series
Haven, which started in July 2011, as Dwight Hendrickson. He will also star alongside Jamie Kennedy and Jennifer Esposito in the 2011 WWE production Bending the Rules.

car he holds dear and then sets out to find it."

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.

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."

August 29th - WWE Superstar EDGE will be signing autographs @ Toys R Us, 2700 Sisk Rd, Modesto CA from 3-5 pm. For more information,

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.

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

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.
