Following WWE Today:
"No, actually. I've been watching Christian's stuff. So like (TPR) SmackDown and then I'll watch his stuff. But no, I really just wanted to step away from it. And I think maybe it was one of those deals, okay if I can't do it, so watching it right now still might be a little funky for me, I don't know. I don't know what it is. But yes, I guess what I'm trying to do is step into just everyday life and not have to have wrestling be a part of it all the time or all that I think of. So I never wanted to be one of those guys that has to be Edge 24/7, I always tried to keep a very, very stark separation between the two. I never wanted to kind of live the gamut type thing. Not that just watching the show would cause that but I don't know, I'm just not at a point where I really want to sit back and think, "Ah man, it'd still be fun to be out there."
Changes Edge Would Have Made to his Last Match: "Well even that day I wish it had been longer. But that's just from the wanting to tell the absolute best story that you can. We had a lot of business to take care of that day though with the car, the long entrance ways, all of those things, and at that point thought going forward that we had a whole storyline to culminate all of this in, kind of not realizing that this would be the culmination. It segued into Christian and where it went. It didn't really bother me too much, but I mean sure I would have liked to have taken even just an extra five minutes to really get across the story so that I've always been a big false finish guy, and like to really come up with some good false finishes. It's kind of been one of the things I've always done. So I would have liked to have had an opportunity to maybe get people a little more invested in them with more time. But I was still really happy with all of the reactions and everything. I don't sit there and - really I hadn't thought about it until just now."
Whether Edge was Upset Christian Lost the World title immediately:
"Well, I always look at the big picture. I always try to get a kick out of how people get so worked up about it, and that's cool because that means they're passionate and they're fans of it. But if they don't know where it's going, it's tough to make that kind of educated, "Okay, well this is bad, this is good." Well you don't know if it's bad or good yet because you don't where it's going. I appreciate reactions and things like that, but knowing where it was going I was like, "Well this is going to be great for him." Would you rather be, maybe the Number 2 Baby Face on the show or the Number 1 Heel? Me personally; I want to be the Number 1 Heel. And knowing how good he is at being a heel, I thought that it would end up being really good for him -- and it has."
Edge in the WWE Hall of Fame:
"Sure it'd be cool. Yes, I mean I think it'd be. You look at it and go, "Okay, yes that's definitely something that, if they ever decide, yes great." I wouldn't say, "No." And then induction-wise, you've got to go with Christian. I don't know who else besides him you could even contemplate choosing for it. I think he's the gimme for sure."
