Edge (WWE)

How Edge joined the Tourney
Adam Joseph Copeland (October 30, 1973) is a Canadian actor and retired professional wrestler better known by his ring name Edge. He is currently signed with WWE, where he is a former 11-time world champion (4 reigns with the WWE Championship and 7 reigns with the World Heavyweight Championship) as well as a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, being inducted as part of the Class of 2012.

Copeland was trained by former professional wrestlers Sweet Daddy Siki and Ron Hutchinson. Throughout the 1990s, he wrestled in North American independent promotions early in his career. During his time in these promotions, he competed in singles and tag team competition, the latter with Christian Cage, his storyline brother. In 1997, Copeland signed a developmental deal with the WWF and began competing for the company the following year.

After signing with the WWF, he began competing under the ring name Edge. In June 1999, he won the WWF Intercontinental Championship, making it his first title reign with the company. In mid-1999, he and Cage, now going by just Christian, formed an alliance of their own, which led to them winning the WWF Tag Team Championship on seven different occasions. During this time, they gained notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches. The team, however, parted ways in 2001.

Overall, Edge has won 31 Championships in WWE, including eleven World Championships (four WWE Championships and a record seven World Heavyweight Championships), five Intercontinental Championships, one United States Championship, 14 Tag Team Championships (a record 12 World Tag Team Titles and two WWE Tag Team Championships), and is one of only two wrestlers (Kurt Angle being the other) who has held every currently active male Championship in WWE.

Edgecator (Hyper Smash)
Edge knocks the opponent down, then steps between the opponent's legs with one of his own and crosses the opponent’s legs so that their near leg's ankle is in the far leg's knee pit. He then finishes by juggling the opponent and punching him/her hard in the face and knocking him/her away.

Spear (Final Smash)
Edge throws his opponent down to the floor like a football player. He then sets himself up waiting for the opponent to get up. When they try to, Edge runs at the opponent and tackles the opponent hard enough to blast them away.
