WWE Superstars and childhood friends Edge and Christian dropped the stage personas (well, sort of) for the morning for an interview with TSN.ca/wrestling.
Edge sat on the floor for WrestleMania VI at SkyDome in Toronto, watching Hollywood Hogan battle the Ultimate Warrior. Although he was only 16 at the time, Edge already knew that he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Hogan and Warrior and be a WWE Superstar. Twelve years later, almost 70,000 fans watched Edge defeat Booker T at WrestleMania X8 at SkyDome in Toronto.
Along with Christian, the duo from Orangeville, Ontario won the Tag Team Championship seven times, a record for a duo that stood for years. They were also part of some of the most memorable tag matches in history - including the Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000; the Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Match at SummerSlam in 2000; TLC II at WrestleMania X-Seven; and TLC III on the May 24, 2001 episode of SmackDown!
After a hiatus of more than a year due to neck surgery, Edge returned to WWE action and was immediately put on RAW. He also released his autobiography - Adam Copeland on Edge - in November.
Christian has also worked well as a single performer. He defeated Edge for his first Intercontinental Championship three years ago and also captured the Hardcore Championship. His second Intercontinental Championship reign came in 2003 when he won a Battle Royal featuring past Intercontinental Champions.
The third time was when he took it from Booker T in August of 2003.
Last year, he 'stole' Chris Jericho's love interest Trish Stratus, and secured bodyguard Tyson Tomko to serve as an enforcer.
