Orlando, Florida - World Heavyweight Champion Edge wants to do more than beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania 24. He wants to be the star of the show.

“My entire plan is to steal the show and to have the match that the people in attendance will remember the most,” he told Cineplex Entertainment.
Originally hailing from Orangeville, Ontario, Edge (Adam Copeland) has a monstrous task on his hands when it comes to defending the World Title against The Undertaker as the WWE’s Dead Man has never lost a match ever at WrestleMania. It is that impressive 15 and 0 record that has Edge gearing up for the match of his life at WrestleMania 24. In fact, there is only one other bout that could have Adam on edge.
“The one that I could think of would be WrestleMania in Toronto and facing Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart. That is the only bout that would match up to this one at WrestleMania 24 and that bout with Bret will never happen,” said Edge.
Another match that is on Edge’s mind is the ‘David versus Goliath’ battle between The Big Show and Floyd 'Money' Mayweather. The entire feud has Edge kinda baffled.
“Mayweather and Big Show? I don’t know what to expect there. It could be bowling shoe ugly but it will be a spectacle and that is what WrestleMania is all about,” said Edge. “My mentality is if the match brings in more people all they are going to see is that I am the best wrestler on the show. I am definitely better than Mayweather.”
Although he doesn’t live in Canada at the present time, Edge hasn’t ever forgotten his roots and is proud of the recognition he receives in his home and native land.
“You won’t be forgotten in Canada. All of Canada will remember you if you actually accomplished something and that is cool,” he said.
