Edge recently spoke with AlternativeNation.net
about Christian’s future, the Attitude Era and more. Here are the
highlights…

On WWE Network and Sami Zayn: They finally gave me the WWE
Network. Once they asked me to do a show on it, they said, ‘Do you want it by
the way?’ I said, ‘Yeah sure, why not?’ But for whatever reason, it doesn’t seem
to want to work up here in Canada. Every time I try to watch something it just
freezes, so I haven’t really watched a whole lot of stuff. Before it was on the
Network, it was on Sports Central up here, and if I was home from set, I would
try to watch it Thursday nights. Then it got taken off Sports Central, I got the
Network, and the Network didn’t work, so it’s kind of been out of my hands, I
haven’t been able to watch it. But I know Sami Zayn, I’ve known him for a couple
of years now, but I’ve always enjoyed what he’s done, when he was El Generico
too.

On Christian possibly retiring: Well he’s my best friend,
so I know what’s going on with him more than anybody else. But he’s at that kind
of point where you sit back and look and go, okay I’m definitely closer to the
end of my career than the beginning. After awhile your body just starts telling
you, this is a difficult job to do. When you’re in your 20’s and you think
you’re indestructible, you can bounce back, but it gets harder when you start
climbing into your 40’s.

On the Attitude Era: I do think what’s been good, people
are always talking about the Attitude Era, and all of this and all of that, but
if you watch back, sometimes the matches weren’t that great because we had 2
minutes. It’s not possible to have a good wrestling match in 2 minutes, you
can’t tell a story, you can tell a haiku. Since the PG era, I know when I was in
matches, I had half an hour sometimes, 20 minutes, there I can tell a story. To
me that’s the meat and potatoes of the whole thing, it all boils down to the
wrestling at the end of the day. The Attitude Era was a lot about the hijinks
backstage, and the matches kind of got forgotten about. It’s looked at with rose
colored glasses because the ratings were good, and it was working for obvious
reasons, but to me those obvious reasons were characters like Stone Cold, who
would then get in and have a long match at a PPV. Characters like The Rock who
would be entertaining, but still at the end of the day, they could go. I think
now, you need a little bit of both.
