Adam Copeland Comments on Future of His Wrestling Career

A recent episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast featured Adam Copeland as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Copeland’s thoughts about the future of his wrestling career and current retirement plans.

“Even though it’s been four or five years back now, it’s not like I got another four or five in front of me, I know I don’t. We’re looking at like a two-year window here to be able to get as much done as I can get done, tell as many stories as I can, try and help talent along the way with that.”

Copeland also gave his thoughts about where he would like to have his retirement match take place at if given the opportunity to do so.

“The place is really important. I would love to do it in Maple Leafs Gardens. That I would love to do. Even if it means I’ve got to start an indie for a day and I’ve got to book Maple Leaf Gardens and I’ve got to film it, and I’ve got to get the production team, and I’ve got to get the talent. To be able to do it in the place where I first saw wrestling live. To be back in that place.”
