  • Misc. Stuff:
    * Fears: "Failure in life, in wrestling, everywhere. I am a perfectionist. I never want to be at a point where I could easily accept failure, which is a good thing. Whatever I do, I do it to be the best that I can."
    * Biggest Fan: His Mom
    * First Thing he Bought With A WWF Cheque: A $150. Fossil watch.
    * Parents Reaction to Jay Wanting to be a Wrestler: "If this is what you want to do, you should do it. Every crazy career decision I have made, they have backed me up. I used to tell my parents I was either going to be a pro hockey player or a pro wrestler, and they always told me that was great. I asked them once why they are so supportive, and they told me they didn't want me to be 40 and look back on my life with any regrets."
    * Before Christian and Edge were in the WWF they were driving Adam's mom's car and spending more on gas money than the shows paid.
    * If Jay wasn't a professional wrestler he said he would be either a physical therapist or a professional hockey player. He used to be a goalie in a junior league.
    * Christian and Edge met in 5th grade. A friend gave Christian a ninja throwing star and he was like the only one in school wiht one so everyone thought it was cool and thats how he met Edge and they used to go out and throw it at trees.
    * Every Sunday Christian would watch International wrestling on T.V.
    * Every Wednesday Christian and Edge would race home from school to watch wrestling on TV.
