Edge on working with John Cena

Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Conrad Thompson to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

[@sleeperjoseph7708]

Nowadays it is really hard to be a heel. Not only because almost everyone aknowledge their roles and what they do, it's also because they barely bring any heat to the crowd. Only a few can do that, but either because some of them are veterans or because they critisize their lack of talent and work ethics. It just feels that it's not about being faces or heels anymore.

For me, Edge started to gain serious steam in 04-05 but I felt he really got hot and came into his own in 06 as a heel.

I miss wwe from 2004-2010. And even a little before that in the attitude era

[@osobueno913]

Paul is such a breath of fresh air. I hope he does a lot more shows in the future.

[@Z000TED]

He played his role fucking well, I hated Edge as a kid 😭

[@adriantoledo2290]

Next to orton I thought edge was a great heel cause I couldn’t stand his ass at the time 😂

[@masha.6072]

Edge & Lita were magic together 🔥

[@Seldom-Seen]

I used to hate Edge lol He did a great job as a heel. I couldn’t stand him lol

[@SiIverMonkey]

What ever happened to Edge's Never Gonna Stop. Rob Zombie Theme song?

[@suparttt]

I guess they lost the licensed

[@realabe1]

That's all I ask for. Edge and Cena 1v1 at mania

[@ParadoxEP]

Would love to see Edge and Cena both have titles after Summer Slam. Then build for Wrestlemania on unifying the titles story

[@GzUp187]

What I really love about the Cena vs Edge rivalry is that they were next up and coming faces of the WWE after Kurt and Brock left the company. We can't forget Randy Orton vs John Cena rivalry too because they came from OVW and we can't forget Brock use to be at OVW. The Edge vs Undertaker I would say similar to Brock vs Undertaker also because Taker loved working with up and coming talent in the WWE. Let's talk about Batista, now he was that quote and quote " The Next Big Thing" but he up that age, I think Dave was like in his early or mid 30s when he was Heavyweight champion but he wasn't the face of company material. I love this podcast and I would love to hear more behind the curtain stories. Kurt is one of the best, and oh it's true and it's damn true!

[@mmurph]

He was mad disrespectful as a heel and we ate it up.

[@thewackycabbage461]

If Adam ever doubts himself on how good he is, he needs to read all the comments stating how people hated him lol...he succeeded.

[@savplayzx6067]

i hated edge as a kid but not anymore

[@tonyclark8273]

Edge ... Brood never died

[@homework9102]

Edge did his job I remember as a kid not liking him cause he was a bad evil guy haha now looking back I can’t thank him enough for all the memories and understood why he did what he did as the edge character one of the greatest ty edge and so glad ur back

[@Invictus-Solaris]

I cheered for you Edge because on the contrary, I hated John Cena. 😆

[@adamirishconundrum851]

Cena was always really the heel because he sucked and his boring monotone

[@ThePrangon]

It's a shame that Edge and Cena never had a one on one Wrestlemania match. The two of them just had amazing chemistry.

[@justinturley7071]

Yep. It’s no different to Orton never facing Cena in a one on one match at WrestleMania.
