“The Rated R Superstar” Edge joined Inside the Ropes for an interview. They spoke about telling a good story in and out of the ring, along with the creative freedom he and Randy Orton have heading into WrestleMania 36.
On telling good stories inside the ring.
“That’s what I want to try and do in coming back. I want to tell layered, nuanced stories within the world of wrestling. And when that’s done, and when it’s done right, I will wholeheartedly say that it can be as good as any movie, as good as any TV show, as good as any book. You need the right players, you need the right writer, you need a lot of things to come together, but you can also beforehand go into it and put all of those pieces together, and hope, like I said, 95% positive, it will turn out the way you picture it.”
On creative freedom, working with Paul Heyman and Randy Orton.
“We have been left alone. I’ve been doing this for 25 years, Randy’s been doing it for 20. Nobody is going to write a promo for me. That’s all there is to it. I don’t work well that way, and I think everyone understands that. But it took years and years of proving it. So if you try it and you fall flat on your face, well you might not get that chance again. But over the years, I was allowed to fall flat on my face a bunch and were given the freedom to do that then which is amazing. Now I don’t know how much of that freedom is given to new people coming in, I don’t know.”
