Edge Talks Who He Wanted To Face In WWE Retirement Match, Wanting To Put Someone Over On The Way Out

On episode 98 of Sam Roberts' Wrestling Podcast, radio personality Sam Roberts shared a classic interview with WWE Hall Of Famer, Edge. During the interview, Edge said he was relieved to not be wrestling anymore and that he was already mentally preparing to retire when he was abruptly forced to retire due to injury. Also, 'The Master Manipulator' admitted that he distanced himself from professional wrestling following his injury because his health status prohibits any physical touching from taking place and there is no payoff if he cannot be touched. Finally, Edge talked about how he learned how to save his wealth by watching his colleagues squander their money.

Edge indicated that it is a relief to not have to wrestle anymore.

"It's a relief. It is because I knew how I was feeling and I knew how I'd wake up feeling in the morning and all of those things. So it made it easier and it was a bit of relief."

According to the former WWE Champion, he was planning to wrestle throughout 2011 and have Christian retire him in a match. Unfortunately, Edge's diagnosis of cervical spinal stenosis prevented his dream sendoff from happening.

"I was already preparing [for retirement]. I really was mentally. I was ready and physically was forcing me to mentally prepare," Edge recalled. "It was more of a realization, like, okay, mentally, was I tired of travel? Yes, but it was also because physically I was tired of the travel and that lent to the mental tiredness. But it wasn't like I was like, 'I'm done. I'm fed up. I can't stand this anymore.'"

With that said, the master of the Edge-O-Matic suggested that going out on top is a great ending to a career in the squared circle, but that he had no intention of retiring as world champion and would have gladly put someone over on his way out.

"The way I look at it is I had to retire as world champion with my last match at WrestleMania. Oh, that's horrible. That sucks! What are you talking about? That's f--king awesome! Yeah, ah, he wanted to win in his last match! What an asshole! It's like, no, I just [can't wrestle anymore]. What do you want me to do? I'd put somebody over. I've got no problem."

While Edge claimed that he felt he could take a manager bump, WWE would not allow even that degree of contact, given his health status. Edge admitted that he has distanced himself from professional wrestling since retiring because taking on a non-physical role in WWE would be too limiting.

"Like, 'if I'm going to show up, at least have me do something'. 'Nope, you can't'. 'Alright, then don't have me show up because why bother?' That's why I've kind of really distanced myself even from watching the product too much. It's like, 'well, I can't do it.'" Edge continued, "if you want me to come back and cut a promo on all this stuff, it's like, I can't really further stuff along too much because there's no physical payoff. It's like nobody's going to get heat from attacking me because they're not allowed to attack me."

According to 'The Rated-R Superstar' he learned to save his money partly by watching veterans squander theirs.

"Well, I was never stupid with my money because I grew up without it. So when I started to make some, I was like, 'okay, first rule of thumb, I'm not buying it unless I've got the money to buy it', so I have no debt. I own three homes. I drive a Jeep. I'm cool with that." Edge continued, "yeah, I mean, you've got to learn from [veteran professional wrestlers who have squandered their money]. If you don't and you put the blinders on, and don't learn from that, you're pretty much a dumbass. I mean, I've got a watch and that's it. I do and I drive a Jeep and I've got a pickup truck and I'm okay with that. That's perfect for me. I don't need anything more."

Edge says all you can do in times like this is try and remember the positives so you don't fall down a mental rabbit hole.

Apparently they had a completley different plan for the match but the timing of when they filmed it made them change just a few hours ahead of time. Says the match was effectively a 40 minute audible.

Edge says he is proud that even though he and Randy didn't say a word to eachother they were able to pull it off.

To Edge it wasn't a Last Man Standing "Match", it was a Last Man Standing "Fight" in the sense the story was dirty, ugly, personal, like it should take place in the bowels of a boiler room.

Some of Edge's ideas involved using drones and going on rooftops, because they intially thought they were going to be filming in sunlight (hence the last minute changes mentioned earlier).

They weren't even trying to go 40+ minutes, they just kept going and going and it happened to be that long.

Edge: "I've heard there's feedback that it was too long, this and that, all of the feedback I've gotten personally to myself or to my social media feeds has been all positive."

"When I have Bret Hart call me and tell me he loved it because it looked like a fight, well I don't care what anybody else says from that point on, because his opinion to me has more weight than absolutely everyone anywhere."

Feels that there are too many people who just solely try to find the negatives out of everything, and especially during a time like a pandemic just try and enjoy things more.

Edge loved the Boneyard match. The cinematics of it, and everything. Gives props to the people who have done these types of matches in the past.

Edge hasn't seen Cena/Bray yet if anyone is curious.

On what he wants to do next, he just wants to tell stories and to sell. "I wanna show that selling can sell." The tiny little things like reaching for the tailgate of a truck and only just reaching it with your fingertips.

He wants to spend the next period of time just teaching people things and helping out the younger talent.

Christian was instrumental in helping Edge make it mentally after his retirement.

One time many years ago Corey was an extra on a WWE show, he bumped into Edge, they started talking about working out and Edge joked that he stopped working out and they gave him the world title.

On who he'd love to work with: Ciampa, Gargano, Cole, Velveteen Dream (mentions Dream's character and how he could play off that), Keith Lee (Says that there hasn't been one single person he's gone again that properly shows off how he should be shown, the closest was Brock at the Rumble), Tyler Bate, WALTER, Shane Thorne, Roderick Strong, O'Reilly, Fish, Roman Reigns (says this match 100% HAS to happen some day, the taster at the rumble felt great. The way he and Roman felt at the Rumble was similar to how he felt with Angle, Randy, Undertaker, Jeff Hardy), Baron Corbin (Says Corbin truly understands this industry, and he doesn't care about being cool he wants every percent of the audience to hate him, Edge always wanted to be like that), Aleister Black, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins (mentions their history), Drew McIntyre. Says there are a huge amount of names he knows is forgetting.
