WWE legend Edge reflected on his legacy ahead of tonight’s SmackDown show in his hometown of Toronto when he squares off against Sheamus.
The 49-year-old Canadian wrestler, born Adam Copeland, recently chatted to ET Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about leaving a mark on the wrestling world.
During the interview, Edge revealed that Friday’s match will in fact be the last one on his current contract. But he isn’t entirely sure whether it’ll be the final match of his career.
Elsewhere in the chat, the wrestler spoke about previously getting advice from Canadian wrestling icon Bret Hart when he was younger, saying that he’d love to be associated with him when people think of his career.
After mentioning that it used to be harder for anyone abroad, including Canadians, to get into wrestling, Edge said of whether he ever thinks about his place in wrestling history and opening doors for others, “Not really, no. You know, it’s strange. I’m very happy, though, when I see a Kevin Owens and a Sami Zayn and I see folks really, really like getting traction and just crushing it, that really makes me happy. It does.
“But I’ve also realized that in anything like this, in any form of entertainment… now, we’re a confusing melting pot because we have athleticism thrown in there… But anything like this, it’s really hard to look at legacy because it’s so subjective.
“You know, it’s not like you won the Stanley Cup because you were the best team. This is all up to your, you know, perception of who is good or who does what or who’s historic or who’s this or who’s that. So I try not to get bogged down in that because at the end of the day, my most important legacy is [being a] good dad. That’s the legacy that matters to me, you know?”
