Edge On Why He Loves Attending NXT TakeOver: ‘There’s No Jadedness, Just Hunger And Passion’

Edge had a great WrestleMania 35 weekend as he attended plenty of the events with his wife Beth Phoenix. However, one of his highlights was going to NXT TakeOver: New York. He said the event was refreshing for him since the atmosphere felt different to main roster events.

“There’s no jadedness,” said Edge on the latest E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness episode. “Just hunger and passion. It’s so invigorating to be around. This crop of talent that I think is so immensely talented and to see them do what they do without any handcuffs or parameters [that impact them] telling an amazing story. To not have to constrain like [a television match].”

“It’s such a hard-hitting, Japanese style. The only thing I worry about is longevity. I see some talents and injuries, I just hope … it goes back to when we were doing the TLCs, Kurt [Angle] and [Chris] Benoit were doing the German [suplexes] and it’s like, ‘Will I wind up with two neck surgeries?’ I hope that isn’t the case and that style doesn’t catch up to everybody.”
