WWE Profile #2: Edge's Life Of Sex Drugs and Wrestling

I got such a great response from my first profile on Shawn Michaels I decided to write two more right away. The other profile on the Hardy Boys can be found on my profile.  So here we go...

Adam “Edge” Copeland is one of the WWE’s top entertainers, and has been so for the past decade. With eight World heavyweight and WWE title reigns, along with his dozens of other titles, he has cemented his legacy in the WWE.

Edge began wrestling at a young age in the independent circuit in the US, Canada and Japan. Edge and Christian went by The Canadian Rockers while in Japan as a nod to one of their favorite teams, the Rockers.

Edge started out in the WWE as a loner who entered through crowd rather than coming down the ramp. His first major feud was with Gangrel and his storyline brother Christian.  Christian and Edge were already best friends and having a similar look made then ideal for a brother angle.

Edge and Christian soon set aside their differences and joined forces to become one of the greatest tag teams in all of the WWE. Their monumental feud with the Hardyz propelled them to the top of the WWE. 

These two teams competed in the first ever tag team ladder match as well as the first second and third TLC matches  Edge and Christian held seven tag team championships together, which is one of the best records in tag team wrestling.

E&C were known as a cocky tag team, who would pose for five seconds before their matches for the benefit of those with flash photography.  Their antics earned them many fans, even thought they were a heel team most of the time. 

Edge Won the King of the Ring tournament proving he was force to reckon with. Edge and Christian would part ways and feud over the IC title a few years later. The two even met in a Brother vs. Brother Ladder match for the strap. Edge held the Intercontinental belt seven times which was the record until Chris Jericho made eight the new record. 

Edge went on to make another milestone as he is the only man to ever combine the IC and US titles. His match with Test was great and it goes to show that an amazing performer like Edge can carry a mediocre performer like Test.  I like test but he has never been a break out star.  Edge went on to feud with Kurt Angle which ended in a hair vs. hair match which Edge won.
