On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, former AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland highlighted his proficiency in adapting to various in-ring styles.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being able to work with anybody: “My pride tells me that I’m adaptable. I want to be able to get in with anybody, whether that means Penta and we’re exchanging headscissors that I haven’t done since 92, or I’m exchanging forearms with Minoru Suzuki, or I’m having a No DQ match against Brody King, on a Wednesday, and that Saturday I’m having a technical match with Kyle O’Reilly. That to me is super fun.”
On working different styles: “I love being able to dive into different styles, and [go] ‘Okay, I can adapt to this.’ I’ve done enough of this, and I’ve done enough of this, and I’ve done enough of this, and tried to throw those into my pallet over the years, to be able to at least pull off something serviceable, so that Kyle doesn’t get in there and go ‘Man, I can’t chain wrestle with this guy.’ Or something like that, right?”
Copeland is recuperating from a leg injury he sustained during his match at AEW Double or Nothing 2024. He underwent surgery to address a fractured tibia, which led to his decision to relinquish the AEW TNT Title.
