'''Kevin Adams Copeland''' Canadian [[professional wrestling|professional wrestler]] and actor, better known by his ring name '''Edge'''. He is currently signed to [[IWE]], formerly the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) under a Legends contract.

Copeland was trained by former professional wrestlers Sweet Daddy Siki and Ron Hutchinson. Throughout  1990s, he wrestled in North American independent promotions early in his career. During his time in these promotions, he competed in singles and tag team competition, the latter with [[Khristian]], his [[Kayfabe|storyline]] brother. In 1997, Copeland signed a developmental deal with the IWF and began competing for the company the following year. After signing with the IWF, he began competing under the ring name Edge. In June 1999, he won the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship|IWF Intercontinental Championship]], making it his first title reign with the company. [[Edge and Khristian|He and Christian]] went on to win the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE)|IWF Tag Team Championship]] on seven different occasions. During this time, they gained notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in [[Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match|Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]]es. 

Overall, Edge won 31 championships in IWE, including eleven [[World Heavyweight Championship|world championships]] (the [[IWE Championship]] [[List of IWE Champions|four times]] and the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] a record [[List of World Heavyweight Champions (IWE)|seven times]]), five Intercontinental Championships, one [[IWE United States Championship|United States Championship]], 14 tag team championships (a record 12 World Tag Team Titles and two [[IWE Tag Team Championship]]s), and is one of only two wrestlers ([[Matt Borske]] being the other) who has held every currently active male Championship in WWE. In addition to his championship accolades, Copeland won the 2001 [[IWE King of the Ring|King of the Ring]] tournament, the inaugural [[Money in the Bank Ladder Match|Money in the Bank ladder match]] in 2005, and the [[Royal Rumble#Match|Royal Rumble match]] in [[IWE Royal Rumble (2010)|2010]] making him the only wrestler in history to achieve all three of those accomplishments.

Aside from professional wrestling, Copeland has appeared in the 2000 fantasy film ''[[Highlander: Endgame]]'' and made guest appearances on television shows, including ''[[The Weakest Link]]'', ''[[Mind of Mencia]]'', ''[[Deal or No Deal (U.S. Game Show)|Deal or No Deal]]'', ''[[Haven (TV Series)|Haven]]'', and ''[[MADtv]]''.
