There is no doubt that Pro Wrestling can be tough on the body. Edge found that out the hard way when he walked away from the WWE with his body broken up.

He recently made a return to Pro Wrestling after being retired for over ten years. He needed to make some changes in order for his body to hold up today.

Edge talked about it on Busted Open Radio with his wife Beth Phoenix. The WWE star spoke about many different subjects and that eventually led to how he was holding up physically.

“You know, what I think I’ve learned is that the self-care and recuperation just takes longer. So before, when you can do it every night, that’s not the case anymore. Now, you know, after a match and I’m like, ‘Okay, I feel great. Maybe I could do one more the next day’ but that’s pretty rare. It’s usually a good two-to-three weeks until I’m like, ‘Okay, all right. I think everything’s knocked out of my system.’ The cryotherapy I did, the sauna. I did cold plunges, I stretched, I did yoga, I did massage, all of those things that I never did before. Now they’re a necessity.”

The WWE star can't keep up the same pace he had as a youngster. Today, Edge needs to take the right amount of time off and focus on recovery exercises like yoga and stretching.

Edge will continue his Pro Wrestling career with the WWE where he'll focus on being physically in the right shape. Recovery will be very important for his longevity.
