On a recent edition of the Edge & Christian podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Edge discussed how close he came to joining TNA Wrestling in the past.

“Interesting little tidbit here that I don’t even know how much (Christian) knows, if (Christian) even knows at all, to be honest. I don’t recall talking to (Christian) about it. I don’t know how word gets out on contracts being up and things like that, but there was one point where my contract was coming up and TNA reached out to me, and (Christian was) there, so they reached out to me, and they told me numbers, and schedule, and all of these things.

And for me, at that point, schedule was the thing that I was like, ‘Well, that’d be a whole lot easier on the body’ because I was getting pretty beat up. It’s like (Christian) said, I started with WWE in ’97. At that point it was like 2008 or 2009. I can’t even remember. It’s a long time. Now, there [were] breaks because of injuries, but that was my body saying, ‘Take a break dude,’ and I never did until something broke.”
