Kevin Adams Copeland Canadian 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 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 IWF Intercontinental Championship, making it his first title reign with the company. He and Christian went on to win the 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 matches.

Overall, Edge won 31 championships in IWE, including eleven world championships (the IWE Championship four times and the World Heavyweight Championship a record seven times), five Intercontinental Championships, one United States Championship, 14 tag team championships (a record 12 World Tag Team Titles and two IWE Tag Team Championships), 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 King of the Ring tournament, the inaugural Money in the Bank ladder match in 2005, and the Royal Rumble match in 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, Haven, and MADtv.

Edge was inducted into the IWE Hall of Fame by his long-time friend and tag team partner Khristian on March 31st, 2012 -- the day before WrestleMania XXVIII.
