Collect Adam Copeland On Edge Imagined By Adam Copeland In PDF
is one of my favorite wrestlers, and I had been waiting to get my hands on this book for a very long time.
Needless to say, I was happy when I found it at Barnes and Noble,
The book is sometimes hard to read because it is apparent proper grammar was not a priority, but in the end, I think that makes it that much better.
And just more real.
There is nothing I love more than learning how my favorite wrestlers or any other type of entertainer, for that matter got to where they are, and Edge's story was particularly special.
I knew the ending and had known it for ten years and still, I found myself rooting for him as he began his wrestling career, survived "death tours," and finally made it to the WWE.
My only problem is that some things are left unexplained, For example, the end of his first marriage, He says he does not want to get into it, and the marriage is just over, I understand he does not want his personal business made public, but he had already told his readers so much, why not let them in on this
I hope that one day, Adam Copeland writes a second book.
I would love to hear about his reaction to his first World Title win, his transition from wrestler to actor, and how it feels to be a dad.
He has accomplished so much and reading his autobiography made me appreciate what he did for the business so much more.
WOW WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT EDGE, HE IS VERY AWESOME HUMAN BEAN, AND I EVER MET HIM I WOULD SAY YOU ARE THE REASON THE REASON WHY I LOVE WRESTLING, IN THIS BOOK HE TALK HIS CHILDHOOD AND HOW HIS MOM HAD A HARD MAKING ENDS MEET, THIS BOOK IS NOT ONLY AWESOME ITS INSIRING TOO,
AFTER EVERY THING HE WENT THOUGH AS A KID DID NOT STOP HIM FROM CHASING HIS DREAM AND MAKING IT COME TRUE.
EDGE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF GREATEST WRESTLER IN WWE HISTORY, SO EDGE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERY THING THAT YOU DID IN THAT RING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT YOU WORK FOR EVERYTHING YOU EARN THAT YOU ACOMMISH IN WWE AND I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT YOU FOR THAT AS A LIFE TIME FAN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN HEART FOREVER.
THANK YOU ADAM COPELAND A surprisingly awesome read, .
Has a lot of road stories and ribs which i always appriciate,
Its a satisfying look at a career of one of my all time favorites, It was everything I wanted this book to be,.I love reading books written by professional wrestlers, Each book is unique in its own way Adam Copeland on Edge is no different I really liked it.
The book is a bit dated but nonetheless it had some good content, Solid entry in the biographical wrestler genre,
Interesting to watch Adam/Sexton/Edge develop through the Canadian wrestling territories from very humble beginnings, I found the personal connections to many folks I know of, within the business, making it a small world indeed.
Nothing too heavy handed or mind blowing, just a down to earth story of what it really takes to make it in the wrestling industry from a fan favorite perspective.
He touches on many match highlights and brief anecdotes on how they came to be, Surprising how many titles he has won during his tenure, This book only goes up to his first return after major surgery and doesn't cover his eventual medical retirement, although I can see how it developed over time.
Surely there will be a volume, as he recently, and miraculously, returned to action after a long hiatus, which included his acting career.
To read his story knowing there is definitely more to follow, was definitely only an appetizer,
Thanks for reading, Adam Copeland on Edge is the story of WWE wrestler Edge,
I was never that into Edge when I was a wrestling fan but I needed something to read at my desk during slow times.
Yeah, I'm a sucker for,wrestling biographies.
Adam Copeland on Edge was a little slow in the early goings, Call me heartless but I don't really care enough about a wrestler's life prewrestling to spendof a biography reading about it.
Anyway, young Adam won an essay contest and got his wrestling training for free,
From there, things picked up, Edge had some great road stories from his early days, like driving across frozen lakes to get to the next town in remote parts of the Canadian wilderness, and waking up with Rhyno spooning him on one occasion.
After some illadvised bookings, he finally got noticed by the WWE,
His WWE career up to that point was given the bulk of the attention, His many injuries were talked about, as well as his many ladder matches with the Hardy Boys and/or the Dudleys.
It was interesting but not fantastic, I actually thought his indy career stories were more interesting, The book ended kind of abruptly, right around the time of his comeback in,
The writing was notches above the usual fare for a wrestling book, especially one written by an actual wrestler.
I think my main gripe with it is that he wrote it so early in his career, There just wasn't enough interesting material to fill a whole book, Ten, or even five, years later and the book would have been that much richer,
All things considered, it's a slightly above average wrestling book, Three out of five, I think I'm done with cheap wrestling books for a while, Always liked "Edge" as a wrestler and was excited to read this book!was great reminiscing about all the great tables,ladders and chairs matches with the Dudley boys and the hardy boys!He had a great career and it's a shame it was cut so short!decent book and worth a read Written too soon! Some good stories though in an interesting career up to the end of the book.
Shame it wasn't saved until his career was over as there are many more fascinating stories Adam could tell I am sure, particularly as the book is quite a short read.
Much like Mick Foley before him, Edge's first and so far, surprisingly, only book is selfwritten, and it shows with the level of realism and passion in his writing style.
The book flows well, and events are recounted in extensive detail, This was written in early, about two years before his first WWE Championship win, so it is still extremely early into Edge's career, a theme that I've found in a lot of these early's WWE labelled books.
Edge's book was an injurybased passion project and it's definitely written with Edge's trademark fiery spirit, The's WWE autobiographies can be hit or miss but this one is probably one of the best released during that period.
I don't expect much from a book written by a guy who made a career by throwing himself off of ladders and taking steel chair shots to the head.
But I do know enough to understand that a wrestler writing an autobiography is an accomplishable task see: Bret Hart, see: Chris Jericho.
Copeland's attempt to tell the story of his rise from backyard wrestling in Canada to becoming an iconic WWE Superstar who, years after the end of this book, was forced to retire due to reoccurring neck injuries that he discussed at length in his book fell short in too many ways to be considered good.
I like reading books by these guys because the world of professional wrestling has this cheesy overtone that is displayed on TV, but carries much more baggage behindthescenes.
Not until wrestlers began writing autobiographies and Al Gore invented the internet did the idea of personal lives and struggles really enter into the realm of reasoning for following what some ignorantly call a fake sport.
As a kid, I remember watching on TV the likes of The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Chris Benoit, British Bulldog, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels, among others.
But the only part you knew about them were the characters they played on the show, These types of books open your eyes to a world beyond the ring, into the personal relationships they had with one another, who was liked and who was hated, what kind of contract disputes there had been, the injuries and the storylines, and who had pull and who did not.
Bret Hart's auto seemed to be the most eyeopening discovery of how the wrestling world works when the cameras shut off.
But, Copeland seemed to miss the parts of those stories that are attractive, He talked a lot about his childhood, growing up a wrestling fan and having a little group of guys who wanted to make it big someday.
He discussed some of his favorite matches throughout the years in WWE, his favorite people to work with in the ring, and had nothing but positive things to say about everyone.
His witticisms came short, although that may have only been a problem of translation through the book because he was actually very entertaining on TV.
He went into detail about his injuries, which was the saving grace due only because he became one of the first high profile WWE guys that had to officially retire due to his being hurt so bad.
But there was no inbetween stuff, No juicy details about much, Nothing mentioned about friendships or dislikes, no insight about whether Vince MacMahon is actually as crazy has he's known to be.
And maybe it had something to do with the fact that he wrote the book while still an active roster member.
But, that's what the readers want,
If I wanted a recap of his storylines through the years, I could watch it on replays on Netflix or WWE Network.
But I would have much preferred to know more about Adam Copeland, not Edge, and his outofring relationships, Maybe that's not what he was going for, Or maybe its because the book is copyrightedand Copeland went on to have a successful career years after the book was written.
But, a combination of terrible editing and uninteresting stories left me feeling like this autobiography could have contained so much more than it did.
Reading this a little late being that Edge is back in wrestling now after much more living and wrestling after this book ended.
I enjoyed reading the story of the journey up to the earlys and feeling the emotion and humor throughout that journey as told by Edge himself.
Many side stories about matches that I just did not know and the younger years, I really had no idea of his roots.
An inspirational history of a superstar and proof of how you have to work to get a chance at being a sports entertainment superstar.
Just to be straight, I am a wrestling nut, And Edge Adam Copeland is tied with Sting for first place on my favourite wrestlers list, Edge as a performer has this energy about him that made me pay attention back in the days of the brood with Christian and Gangrel.
through the days of EampC into a time when Edge's career didn't look so certain due to injury, I hope Adam will pick up the pen and paper again and write the second edition to this book, most fans know there is more than enough to write about.
This book was a great trip down memory lane but with a different point of view than you see on your tv screen.
For those non wrestling nuts this is a story that takes you from the determination of a boy who hadthing he wanted to do I life,be a professional Wrestlerbuy his mother a house, and he along with his best friend made it happen.
Lastly don't be put off if you are not a wrestling fan, this book is a pretty good read A good read, I only wish it covered his full run, I guess there will have to be a part.
Also it alwayscfreat to read about a fellow Canadians success, Adam Copeland on Edge“ ist wirklich ein ungefilterter Blick auf Edges Werdegang als Wrestler, Das ist Vor und Nachteil des Buches, Vorteil, weil es spannend ist, einem Wrestler in den Kopf schauen zu können und Nachteil, weil es das Buch schwieriger zu lesen und zu verstehen macht.
Vor allem, dass er an vielen Stellen zwischen Adam und Edge nicht unterscheidet bzw, auch hin und herspringt, ist schwierig,
Das andere, was es schwer macht, dieses Buch zu empfehlen, ist, dass er zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens gerade mal Endewar und noch vor seinem Money in the Bank“Gewinn bei Wrestlemaniaund vor seinem WWE ChampionshipReignstand, d.
h. Vieles aus seiner spannenden Karriere ist noch gar nicht passiert,
Das soll kein Lest es auf keinen Fall“ werden, Ich würde dennoch eher Edgeheads empfehlen, das Buch zu lesen, Solche, die einfach hinter die Kulissen des Wrestlings schauen sollen, empfehle ich unter anderem Chris Jerichos und Mick Foleys Bücher.
On Edge“ ist für mich eine Vorgeschichte und ich hoffe sehr, dass Edge irgendwann den Elan findet, eine Fortsetzung zu schreiben.
Ich traue ihm zu, die Fehler dieses Buches zu vermeiden und vor allem glaube ich, dass er noch weitaus interessantere Geschichten zu erzählen hat, als die, die sich in diesem Buch finden.
Yes, I love pro wrestling, I actually bought this book the day it came out and actually read it that night, I am a dork. But, this book is really good, He has a great story, Raised by a single parent and working matches forbucks, I can't believe anyone would stay in the business, A good look into a WWE wrestler's life, injuries and all, Bad editing, but I'm guessing it's because back inJeeze,frickin years ago! this was one of only a few licensed, written by the wrestler books out there along with Mick Foley, so they weren't exactly spending the big bucks on grammar nazis.
Also helpful would have been a glossary of backstage wrestling terms like 'going over,' 'gigging,' and 'piefaced.
' I knew some, but not all, and there aren't context clues for a lot of them,
That said, I find edge to be an interesting, everyday kind of guy, and so I enjoyed reading this account from start to middle of his career.
I look forward to a sequel that covers the last ten years, and updates some stories including how he ended up going into acting.
that's actually why I picked this book
up now I love him on Haven, .
