Welcome to the inaugural LTM's POV blog. Throughout the next 7 days, you will get to read my thoughts and opinions on both professional wrestling and music. Today's topic will be the highly anticipated WWE Hall of Fame induction of Edge.
For those of you who may not follow wrestling or are unfamiliar with the man also known as ''The Rated R Superstar'', Adam ''Edge'' Copeland (born October 30th, 1973 in Orangeville, Ontario) is a 7 time World Wrestling Entertainment Heavyweight Champion and had wrestled for the company from 1997 until he retired in April of 2011 due to multiple injuries. However, this would not be the last time you would hear Edge's name, as on March 31st of this year, Copeland was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
I have been a wrestling fan for about 9 years now, and I would definitely have to say that Edge is my favourite wrestler of all time. I have always enjoyed his unique style of wrestling as well as his acting skills shown in the ring. I also appreciated the fact that he was a really popular and internationally known Canadian wrestler in an American company. However, when I had heard the news that he would be in this year's Hall of Fame, I did not believe it. The main reason why I did not believe what I had heard is because the average hall of famer is around 55 to 60 years old and has been retired for about 20 years, while Copeland on the other hand, hadn't even been retired for a full year at the time, and is only 38 years old. I am very happy that this man was inducted as I personally believe that he deserved it more than anyone else.
That's all for now.
