AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet on an episode of INSIGHT on a number of topics including his first date with his wife Beth Phoenix.
Copeland said, “[Our first date] was Edge Appreciation Night in Toronto. It was kinda like, This is your Life. I was almost embarrassed out there, but earlier in the day, [Beth and I] had started talking. We had talked before, but we actually sat down and had a really nice conversation just randomly sitting at ringside.”
On how they both started training in Toronto:
“And then I started realizing how many similarities that we had. She had trained in Toronto. She had trained with Ron Hutchison and wrestled in the same dive bars in Parkdale that I wrestled in. I had no idea of that. She just did it seven years after me. There’s a seven year age gap. So we started talking, and then I reached out to [Natalya]. I was like, ‘I didn’t know Beth was that. What’s her deal?’ And that was really the start of it.”
