Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) and Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) of The Score went spoke with the "Rated R Superstar" Edge. Highlights:Speaking with Steve Austin about his injury (having shared the exact same injury that forced them both to retire) and did Steve Austin sound like he could return to the ring for one more match?
Winning his very first championship - the IC title at a live event at the SkyDome in the late 90's, and how that came about
Wanting to work more with Dolph Ziggler, and fun goofy antics at a live event in Toronto
If he didn't receive the news, how long he felt he would have competed before he retired
"I pretty much assumed that WrestleMania in Miami (WM 28) would be my last because my contract runs out around then. I just thought I would get to there and have my final match there and then retire. The best laid plans never work out the way they should. And they didn't and that's okay. I knew it was coming to an end but I didn't know exactly when that end would be. All this did was speed up the process by exactly 1 year. I already knew I was ready to retire. My body was telling me it was time. All the pain I was in and mentally, the grind, was just getting me down."
Who gave him the news that he had to retire
Why did he choose Jimmy to ref his match with Undertaker at WrestleMania 24
The infamous "napkin foreign object" and "clown noses" from tag team matches with Own Hart and Jeff Jarrett
The unique way Tony Chimel announces him to the ring
"I loved the way Chimel announced me to the ring. He would announce me and Cena to the ring for like 250 nights and he would go out of his way for Cena and then simply announce 'and here's the rated R superstar Edge'. So I was like come on Chimel, at least make an effort for me as well. So he started to elongate the 'Super' in 'Rated R Superstar' and it just became a huge joke in the back and everybody would say it along as he would in the ring. I don't even think Kevin Dunn noticed, it just kinda flew under the radar."
Haven on SyFy: his role on the show, and will he return to the show
Edge's thoughts on Christian's rivalry with Randy Orton, and in his opinion why it took so long for Christian to be considered a main event superstar
Mentoring Zack Ryder and his current success in the WWE
When does Edge want to enter the WWE Hall of Fame?
"I would love to be inducted into the WWE HOF but I never put any thought into when. I never said 'I wanna be inducted in the next year'. I wouldn't be offended if it was in a few years from now. If it was the same year that WrestleMania returns to Toronto, that would be awesome but I never really put any thought into when exactly I wanted to get inducted."
Will Edge write a second book?
Will Edge ever adopt social networking?
Being involved with an essay writing contest to win wrestling training, exactly how he received wrestling training (www.squaredcircletraining.com)
