Adam CopelandAdam Copeland is a Canadian professional wrestler better known as Edge (born October 30, 1973 in Orangeville, Ontario) who performs for World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand. During his high school years, he was voted, "the most likely to win the WWE Championship or the World Title". Edge's own autobiography book entitled "Adam Copeland On Edge" (The On Edge Book), is available now everywhere at the nearest bookstores. It tells his own voyage on wrestling industry and how he get success in the independent circuit of the WWE. It features his personal life as a person before and after, on-cam or even behind the camera. In late February, 2005, Edge had a real-life affair with WWE Diva Lita, causing her and her long time boyfriend and WWE Superstar Matt Hardy to split. In 2000,he made a cameo appearance in the movie . Career Throughout the 1990s he wrestled for many independent promotions in Ontario as well in the Great Lakes region of the United States under the name Sexton Hardcastle. He showed much potential and was signed by the then-WWF in 1998. Many thought that upon his arrival, he would be the next Shawn Michaels. So far, Copeland has found some success in WWE, but not to the magnitude as Michaels has found. He was at first introduced as an enigmatic character, who quickly was teamed with his former tag team partner and on-screen brother, from independent promotions, Christian. The two joined The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness, and eventually found success as a heel comic duo of surfer dudes/teenyboppers. After the split of the team Edge continued with this character for the most part, only as a face. In 2002, Copeland suffered a neck injury that required surgery that kept him sidelined for close to a year. He wrote a column on WWE.com while he rehabilitated. He was scheduled to return to the ring in February 2004, but suffered an ankle injury just before his expected return. He was placed on the RAW brand in the draft lottery after WrestleMania XX, and returned to in-ring action shortly after that event. On April 19, 2004, he and Chris Benoit won the RAW tag team title. On July 10 at Vengeance 2004 Edge went one-on-one with Randy Orton and ended Orton's 9 month Intercontinental title reign. On September 7, 2004, Eric Bischoff stripped Edge of the title because of a injury Edge received at a non-televised wrestling match. His character is now portrayed as a crazed heel with a severe anger management problem, feuding with such wrestlers as Shawn Michaels, who he believes is the reason he did not get a chance to compete for the World Heavyweight Title at Taboo Tuesday. They have faced each other many times, including at the 2005 Royal Rumble. Finishing/signature moves Title History Copeland, Adam Copeland, Adam Copeland, Adam Copeland, Adam
