Edge And Beth Phoenix Comment On Her WWE Hall Of Fame Induction

Edge is a wrestling legend and a WWE Hall of Famer. He also happens to be a husband and a father. Edge is married to the one and only Beth Phoenix and she’s set to become a WWE Hall of Famer as well when she’s inducted on March 31st.

Edge recently spoke to the Citizen Times about his wife’s Hall of Fame induction and he says that he couldn’t be more proud.

“I’m obviously extremely proud of her, but not surprised. Everything she accomplished, she accomplished through her work ethic, stubbornness and sweat equity. She succeeded in a time when it wasn’t in vogue to be a physically strong woman in that industry, when model searches were the flavor of the day, but she busted open those doors anyway.

Edge isn’t the only one who commented on Beth’s induction, as the Glamazon herself also noted that a Hall of Fame induction was never a sure thing in her mind.

“With my career I knew I wanted to work for WWE. There was no other company that I wanted to work for. I took my career incrementally,” said Copeland, who was also called The Glamazon during her career. “I wanted to get hired; that’s all I wanted, was to get one paycheck from WWE. Then I wanted to have a TV match, then a match against the champion, then I wanted to be champion. When I retired (in October 2012), it was in the back of my mind that maybe I had accomplished enough to be recognized, but I sure wasn’t certain and it didn’t take away from how much I cherished my career.”

If you could see Beth Phoenix return for one more match, who would you want to see her face? Sound off in the comments below.
