Edge is one of the all time greats now. Sure, his not on Ric Flair/Hulk Hogan/Undertaker/Cena/Austin/Rock/Bret Hart/HBK/Andre level but his the tier below it with the likes of Jericho/Lesnar/HHH/Orton/Savage/Angle/Piper/Foley Plus Ric Flair on his UA-cam channel recently said Edge in his opinion has no weaknesses and his a perfect talent. Then again, Undertaker and bret hart say the same. Edge is one of the most praised and respected talents by wrestlers themselves. Guy has it all and even at his age now, his killing it. One of a kind talent.
He was the biggest heel at that time because WWE at that time absolutely sucked. When I used to watch it passionately, then your biggest heel was a mid-carder at best
@@AnubhavSharma543Because he was basically a rookie and hadn't developed a character yet. Not to mention that the attitude era was a very unique period of so many of the greatest being active at the same time. It's an unfair criticism.
For Ric Flair, arguably the greatest of all time, to take the time out of his hall of fame speech to share a story about Edge of all people, really tells you alot about what kinda guy Edge is. .
Tony White Well when a married man sleeps with your girlfriend don't you think you have the right to call him a scumbag? I mean... he's only speaking the truth...
When Ric Flair cries, I cry! I am 43 and first saw Ric Flair on TV in late 84 when Jim Crockett Promotions first started airing here in the Philly market. He is the greatest ever and will always be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion in my book.
He has held the most titles out of anyone in WWE history. Most of those he won when he was younger where he wasn't getting a push. Edge was not overhyped, the man gave it his all until he literally couldn't anymore. Watch his documentary if you have not, you will understand what he went through and for him to continue competing is legendary
edge is and will always be such a great person outside and inside the wwe u can really tell how amazing he is even if he acted like the biggest jerk irl hes so great i love him so much and i love him even more whenever i learn how good of a person he actually is hes now married and have two cute little girls and hes back to wrestling as hall of famer too which makes me so happy for him he deserves every good thing fr he worked so hard to make a name for himself and he absolutely did that edge is such a big name now
That was It was classic match!!! To see the reigning World Champion against the 16 time World Champion that never been in a ladder match before!!! That really showed the level of greatness of Ric Flair!!! It was a great match!!!
I remember getting the ladder match dvd for my birthday and when I finished it. That TLC match Edge and Flair had I watched it over and over.I will never forget it.
He cries of the years he spent doing what he loves and fulfilling his passion and he is gona miss it and it aint a shame .. tears make you more human :)
I never liked the E&C tag team, but I always respected Edge's immense talent as a performer. His and Christian's TLC matches against the Hardys, and the Dudleys are some of my all-time favorites. I did love seeing Jericho and Benoit win the fourth TLC match on Smackdown several years ago.
I feel the exact same but in reverse, I love Edge and Chris but hated their individual solo runs because I adored how well they worked together as a team in the TLC/ladder matches. Edges heel work is great but I was just never that much of a huge fan, always found him boring unless he was actively trying to outdo himself as a heel from time to time. Same with Christian, only really started to care about his singles runs when he got to TNA and went back to WWE
If you ever watched an interview with Edge not in 'character' you know he was a huge wrestling fan growing up he's a fan who became a superstar and one of his idols who he ended up getting the opportunity to work with was being inducted into the hall of fame
Ric Flair, Ric 'the absolute icon of professional wrestling' Flair. The dude you grew up marvelling at as a kid. The guy you hoped you could maybe sometimes even maybe meet one day if you get into wrestling. Ric Flair says you had a profound effect on his career. They've have carried me out on a stretcher because I've be crying so hard I couldn't breathe.
Edge is a special guy...I love EDge,,I never watched wrestling again the night he left..I cried so hard..I know how much Edge loved wrestling it was his life and for a damn injury to have to make him retire early was damn devastating..Ric Flair and Edge are 2 out of my 3 top wrestlers of all time number 3 being the Rock...Love you Edge and i was so happy to see Ric introduced in the hall of fame..Here is a man that deserved it more than anyone else..My hats off to you..woooooooooo!!
alot of the time people forget the these guys are real people, not just characters. That is what makes them so great. They can transition from the screen into real life. They spend more time with each other than their own family. Its should be no surprise to see their relationships with each other play out in real settings like this.
this kid has got just so mch love and respect for the greats of the business...nd so mch pasion fr the business itself....Edge my friend....u've got a heart thats one in a million...Salutations and may ur life hold even better things for you...love ya man...
Edge disserved being in the hall of fame in my opinion edge is one of the wrestlers that have 100% of everything he is my guy and i will miss him forever thank you edge
Now despite myself defending Edge, I feel CM Punk is the best thing to happen to WWE in a long time..especially now during the PG era. Punk, imo, is incredible on the mic. His in ring skills are good enough and he really is the perfect guy to have right now because he is so against the grain of where the WWE is heading now.
Edge is the character i chose when i first played Smackdown vs Raw. Now i realized he is not just a great wrestler,there is something more than meets the eye when i look at him. (Sorry for my bad english)
the fans made ric flair for there undying support and them going to see ric flair over the last 37 years ric flair will always be the man and as he wud say "To Be The Man Ya Gotta Beat The Man" :p
@swantar23 Yeah, I heard that. The only bad thing I have heard about him outside is the indescretion with Lita, but he openly admitted it was a mistake and made up for it. He seems sweet. He is one of the Attitude Era greats who will definitely be in the hall of fame eventually (the tags teams of the late 90s rocked, together and apart, He and Christian, Hardyz, Dudleyz, Taker and Kane, DX, etc...)
Edge was and always will be my favourite wwe superstar and he will always be the idol of my life. I wish he didn't have to retire but things happen and yeah....
❤ Why I love Ric Flair. Always putting someone over. Flair is a true champion. He loves the business more than himself. In turn WE LOVE YOU FLAIR WOOOOO.....
Imagine the greatest of all time praising you like that. Edge must've felt a million feet tall.
The million feet height turned into small water droplets which were tears from his eyes
Edge is one of the all time greats now. Sure, his not on Ric Flair/Hulk Hogan/Undertaker/Cena/Austin/Rock/Bret Hart/HBK/Andre level but his the tier below it with the likes of Jericho/Lesnar/HHH/Orton/Savage/Angle/Piper/Foley

One of the all time greats takes time to mention you in his hof speech? I’d cry too, but you wouldn’t wipe the smile off my face for a long time
@@metalheadjake3339 RATED Fucking R baby.. much love lol.. huge edge fan here.
I didn't see randy savage on stage
Edge was the biggest heel in the company at this point and to see him fully break the night before Mania is heartwarming af 😂
He was the biggest heel at that time because WWE at that time absolutely sucked. When I used to watch it passionately, then your biggest heel was a mid-carder at best
@@AnubhavSharma543 damn dude you need a hug or something?
@@AnubhavSharma543 How can you be the biggest heel but be a mid-carder at best?
@@babarazamsucks he became the biggest heel later on. He was a mid-carder during the peak of wrestling, the attitude era.
@@AnubhavSharma543Because he was basically a rookie and hadn't developed a character yet. Not to mention that the attitude era was a very unique period of so many of the greatest being active at the same time. It's an unfair criticism.

Imagine being mentioned/thanked by one of the GOATs of your craft in their HOF speech. Incredible
its one of those organic moments that can only be gotten by being there and doing the work - like kofimania or daniel bryan
Edge constantly gets praised by GOATS in the business. Then again.. Edge is an all time great in his own right at this point
Edge was my favorite for a long time. Still is. Sad his career was shorter than it could of been but thank you for the memories. Edge head for life!
***** your jealous
#EdgeHeadForLife bro!
I'd rather take a short career than a wheelchair for the rest of my life.
They did the right thing and saved him from a worse outcome.
He is back
Well he's back
I wish edge was a still a wrestler😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😪😪😪😪 we love you edge and will always love you
I like edge very much...
Damn injury...
January 26, 2020. Edge made his return to the ring.
@@mexiwolf009 HELL YEAAHHH
Your wish came true
Everyone says that Edge is a real stand up dude
Tony White Well when a married man sleeps with your girlfriend don't you think you have the right to call him a scumbag? I mean... he's only speaking the truth...
***** I knew you were joking but clearly the other guy isn't informed about what happened.
deanml116 All parties have moved on from the incident, Edge made a mistake..but oh of course..you never made a mistake in your life.
EricV1 Yes, but nothing ever as bad as cheating on someone. I have a bit more respect for others, as well as myself, to go down that route.
deanml116 Keep in mind Matt admitted he cheated on Lita as well, he just doesn't like it when he gets a dose of his own medicine.
When Ric Flair cries, I cry! I am 43 and first saw Ric Flair on TV in late 84 when Jim Crockett Promotions first started airing here in the Philly market. He is the greatest ever and will always be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion in my book.
Grow up
Wow, it's nice. Edge is my favorite wrestler of my generation, he's certainly one of the greatest. I actually cried when I saw him cry here.
"Jim Corckett" LOL
So you cry all the time then? because Ric Flair cries it's what he does
agree 100%
Edge is one of the complete examples of how a superstar should be built in the WWE
And how a wwe superstar should retire
He has held the most titles out of anyone in WWE history. Most of those he won when he was younger where he wasn't getting a push. Edge was not overhyped, the man gave it his all until he literally couldn't anymore. Watch his documentary if you have not, you will understand what he went through and for him to continue competing is legendary
Ric isn’t crying, he is just talking to us WITH THE TEAR IN HIS EYE
everyone in the business has so much respect for edge as a performer and as a person!
And now he’s back ❤️
When it comes to in ring performance you can compare Edge to Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.... He was that good in the Ring
The rated R superstar in the ring. Kind hearted dude outside of the ring. True legend.
'proud to call you...a friend.... ' very warm words....and let the memories alone
Reason why everyone loves edge so much 💙
Except Matt Hardy
@@Fernando17892 they’re friends now again
edge is and will always be such a great person outside and inside the wwe u can really tell how amazing he is even if he acted like the biggest jerk irl hes so great i love him so much and i love him even more whenever i learn how good of a person he actually is hes now married and have two cute little girls and hes back to wrestling as hall of famer too which makes me so happy for him he deserves every good thing fr he worked so hard to make a name for himself and he absolutely did that edge is such a big name now
the potato was still cooking while filming this. that's why its freezes
Made my day 😂👏
+Mike Hunt i love you man xD
lol ty all. ill be here all week
Now thanks for everything you did
Respect for this 2 legends :')
Edge is boring and ordinary
+Drew Bludd Fuck off.
You can tell edge is a good man with a big heart. He may have played a villain most his career but in real like he’s a good man
That was It was classic match!!! To see the reigning World Champion against the 16 time World Champion that never been in a ladder match before!!! That really showed the level of greatness of Ric Flair!!! It was a great match!!!
Ric Flair!!! Someone who has achieved more things in a single day, than you ever will in your entire life!!!!!
Manly tears.
+Hitokiri Battousai ... I never knew edges can cry... I think edges is crying like a little pussy too... except john cena ;)
It's not shameful for a grown man to cry.
ᅚ nigga WHATT
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Edge will go down in history as one of the top guys of the past 20 years in the business.
we miss you edge
HE IS BACK BABY
THIS MAN IS WHAT WRESTLING IS ALL ABOUT. His name rings around the world. I'll never forgot royal rumble 92
I remember getting the ladder match dvd for my birthday and when I finished it. That TLC match Edge and Flair had I watched it over and over.I will never forget it.
He cries of the years he spent doing what he loves and fulfilling his passion and he is gona miss it and it aint a shame .. tears make you more human :)
Flair’s charisma is so tremendous, you can feel what he feels in his voice !

Imagine being Edge in this position, being called a great wrestler by the GOAT!? Gotta love Edge
These two had a classic TLC match in 2006.
it takes a real classy man to give the spotlight to someone else when you're getting an award
This always a favorite part of ours during that speech. Forever love these two.
Edge is BACKKKK

its hard to cry these days when theres always something to cry about.
0:06 the way he says “....is edge” makes me laugh every time 😂
Lmao 😭
This...(pause)...video is really fu...(pause)...cki...(pause)...ng slow.
Earning respect from Ric Flair would make anyone cry. That's an honor
I miss the rated r superstar I so wanted to see him in action before he retired and see him with Lita one more time that would make me happy
Human beings can be beautiful.
Edges crying is contagious :]
IT WAS RiC FLAIR VS EDGE TLC MATCH FOR
THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Monday Night Raw 2006
alot of the time people forget the these guys are real people, not just characters. That is what makes them so great. They can transition from the screen into real life.

Ric Flair and Edge no doubt with great hairstyles in pro wrestling history‼️😉
great complement basically saying edge carried him
People says he is one of the greatest heel but he is the greatest face in real life
Edge disserved being in the hall of fame in my opinion edge is one of the wrestlers that have 100% of everything he is my guy and i will miss him forever thank you edge
i love edge, bless him
i you rick and edge,miss yall. two of the greatest of all time
Edge was a good guy. Everyone loved the guy. And I mean everyone. You never heard anything bad about him.
That was a..................great video. Thanks for..................uploading and..................sharing it.
Now despite myself defending Edge, I feel CM Punk is the best thing to happen to WWE in a long time..especially now during the PG era. Punk, imo, is incredible on the mic. His in ring skills are good enough and he really is the perfect guy to have right now because he is so against the grain of where the WWE is heading now.
Who doesn't love Ric Flair? WE were blessed with his Greatness and Sincere Gratitude
Really Sweet To See Edge Cry.......
But He Is Cute When He Is Crying
You know you've made it when Rick flair puts you in his high speech
maybe edge knew his time was coming and he would be in ric's shoes soon
+Pierre Morin but Ric retired around 2012. Edge retired 2011
What ? ... Ric's WWE career ended in 2008 at Wrestlemania 24.... this HoF video itself is the Hall of Fame 2008.
saiyan geass but he continued to wrestle in TNA till he retired in 2012.
eshswam Who cares about TNA. This is WWE Hall Of Fame.
saiyan geass whatever....just pointing facts.
I LOVE EDGE SOOO MUCH WISH HE WILL BE FINE
met edge in a Toronto area passport office back in the day. thought he'd be taller
n s9999 6 foot 5
Edge is the character i chose when i first played Smackdown vs Raw.
Now i realized he is not just a great wrestler,there is something more than meets the eye when i look at him. (Sorry for my bad english)
More laggy than PS3
Just appreciate.
Nope
that was awesome i luv to see wrestlers out of character & real thx for sharing
Gonna be honest. The loudest cheering crowd for someone that makes a return is Edge.
2020 It's True!!
When Ric flairs speaks from the heart he’s speaking from it
edge is the real man
this made me tear up
I would've fucking cried too!
Edge n ric flair both✌ legend🤠 true rated R🤘 superstar🌟⭐
Froze up way too much but overall good video
Thank you for closed captions .
1:22-1:26 LOL
i went from tears of awe to tears of hilarity!
Creatively, Edge's stories were the best 😂 He made my childhood
I watched Flair's induction speech and I can't seem to find this part of the speech.
they cut it out for time purposes
I know that, but there are clips of his "Full" speech (20+ minutes) all over you tube and I still can't find this part of the speech.
You Can Watch This On WWE Network For Only $9.99
***** $9.99
***** His "full" speech went for well over an hour
Imagine being edge. Big wrestling fan as kid having a legend thank you
And thats why I switched from Comcast Xfinity to Verizon Fios!
the fans made ric flair for there undying support and them going to see ric flair over the last 37 years ric flair will always be the man and as he wud say "To Be The Man Ya Gotta Beat The Man" :p
flair crying as usual
I miss you edge!!!
