Edge On His Future In Wrestling – ‘At Most, I Might Have Another Year In Me’

Edge has been hinting at retiring later this year when WWE returns to Canada.

Speaking on Logan Paul’s “ImPAULsive” podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he thinks he may have around a year left as far as it pertains to performing at his current level. The “Rated R Superstar” also stated that he doesn’t want to wind up going out like Randy the Ram in The Wrestler.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On being toward the end of his career: “I don’t want to stick around to the point where it’s like, ‘Oh, there he is. Okay.’ I don’t want to get there. When I come out now, I feel the explosion. I feel all of that to throw at them. That’s still there. I don’t know if that, for me, will ever go away. I feel like, in this last run, the Rocky Balboa movie, which I watched two nights before my comeback. I was in tears. (Sylvester) Stallone’s monologues in it, were all things that were going through my mind. I realized, ‘I gotta get this out of the basement,’ because I didn’t have the chance to end it the way I wanted it to.

“This time, I’m going to get to do that. Now, I have two little girls that I have to spend the rest of my life taking care of. I have a wish list of things that are still to do, but it’s not long, and neither is the time. At most, I might have another year in me, to be able to do it at this level and still be able to do it at an elite level where I can still hang, where I have to get in with Austin Theory, who is 25 and wasn’t born when I had my first match in WWE.”

On not wanting to go out like Randy the Ram in The Wrestler: “No. I want to be sitting on my mountain and watching you guys do your thing and going, ‘Good for them.’”
