AEW/former WWE star Adam Copeland recently appeared as a guest on Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Copeland talked about how much fun he’s having in AEW:
“Anything I do at this stage of life has to be fun or I’m not going to do it,” Copeland said. “Wrestling was the first love and it always will be. That can never be taken away. I still find so much fun. The minute it stops being fun is the minute I need to be done. Because it was taken away from me the first time, and then to come back, and have this whole new generation of talent that I’ve never performed with or got in there with. It’s fun. I’ve repeatedly said how much fun I’m having. That’s what it boils down to. No matter what I’m doing, I’m having fun, or I wouldn’t be doing it. I wouldn’t be wrestling Griff Garrison if I didn’t find the fun in that. I wouldn’t be wrestling Lee Moriarty if I didn’t find the fun in that. It’s just a blast.”
He went on to say, “This may sound like a lie, but I’m at a stage of life that if it’s not fun, I don’t need the money. I know that sounds really, really bad, but I was always really smart. I still drive a pick-up truck. I don’t waste my money. It hurt too much to make. If I’m doing it, it’s purely for the joy of it.”
