Episode 78: Edge in the WWE

The SI Podcast of the Year is back with FIVE hours of Edge! But first we discuss which WWF Superstar the Steiners used as a human urinal and who they shot in the locker room. Yes, they shot a guy. We cover the early days of Edge extensively including growing up a wrestling fan, how he started training, who Edge compared himself to on the indies, why Ron Hutchison doesn't get more credit, how Bret Hart helped Edge early on, living with Dynamite Kid's ex wife, more detail than ever before about the Funkin Dojo and developmental contracts, who Vince thought would be the star in that group, the original concept for Edge's character, who shot the original vignettes, who gets credit for the name and what it could have been, the Brood and how they sold Vince on vampires, the Ministry of Darkness relationship and why they needed to break off, how the Hardyz feud made everyone, when Vince said "enough" with the TLC stuff, the stop and start pushes as a singles guy, Billy Bitchcakes, winning KOTR, who he married first and why it didn't work out, what Vince saw in Edge he didn't in Christian, why Edge was the babyface in their split, who everyone thought was a better worker, whether or not HHH held Edge down, what HBK thought about Edge, the mounting injuries, teaming with Hulk Hogan, the feud with Matt over Lita, who gets credit for the incredible "cash in" at New Year's Revolution, the parody of Flair's road rage incident and their TLC match on RAW, the pairing with Vicki and how it all came together, his feud with the Undertaker, and of course his legacy in the business.
