Edge: 10 things you didn't know about the WWE legend

We all know Edge as one of the greatest superstars in WWE history, but here are 10 things you might not know about “The Rated-R Superstar.”

He has been friends with one fellow Superstar since childhood

Adam Copeland and Jay Reso, better known as Edge and Christian (Cage), have had their careers interlinked from day one. The two in fact met at the age of 10 in Orangeville, Ontario, starting a close friendship that has lasted ever since.

The reason behind his ring name

He initially wanted to just be known by his real name but everyone at the time had a ring name. WWE had suggested Rage or Riot, neither which connected with Copeland. He said the name “Edge” simply came from a radio station “Edge 103.7” that he was listening to on the road, and it stuck.

His first title reign in WWE lasted one day

Edge’s first title success came in the shape of the Intercontinental Championship on a house show in his hometown of Toronto on July 24, 1999. However, it did not last long as he dropped it back to Jeff Jarrett the very next night at the Fully Loaded pay per view.

He feuded with Booker T for a very strange reason

In the run-in to WrestleMania, both Edge and Booker had nothing of note planned. It was decided that the two would face each other in a feud regarding a Japanese shampoo commercial. Edge emerged victorious but never appeared in the fictional shoot. Strange.

He was Hulk Hogan’s partner for his only Tag Team Championship

On the July 4th, 2002 episode of Smackdown, Edge teamed with one of his childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan to win the World Tag Team Championships. This was the Hulkster’s only Tag Title success. A feather in the cap of the Rated-R superstar.

He was the first man to win three of WWE’s most iconic matches
