Scott D’Amore Recalls Rooming With Adam Copeland and Christian Cage

During a recent interview with Fightful’s Joe Pearl ahead of tonight’s MLP Northern Rising event, Maple Leaf Pro promoter Scott D’Amore shared memories of being roommates with Adam Copeland and Christian Cage ahead of the event. Below are some highlights:

Scott D’Amore on Rooming With Adam Copeland and Christian Cage

“Adam was a great roommate in most ways, and I hate to say it because I’d rather slag him. We had to drive 20+ hours to the Maritimes. We got an apartment out there; Christian ended up joining us days after we got out there. The three of us got an apartment. The thing that I was most pissed off about is that we had a two-bedroom apartment. Adam got the one-bedroom.”

On How Well They Got To Know Each Other

“No, are you kidding? He got the one-bedroom. There was a rationale behind it; I don’t know that I agree, but I’m kind of glad because I didn’t know Christian that well, and rooming together, especially in the same room, you get to know people. Doing a 20+ car ride and 2000+ miles every day, seven shows a week, and every other Sunday we did a double shot. It was the three of us in my Jeep Cherokee, and we went up and down the roads. Back then, there is no GPS. It’s just reading maps, finding which diners are still open. Figuring out what hotels you can limp into and give them a sob story and get some kind of compassion. It’s not like Adam, Jay, and I get together and have dinner on a weekly basis; we can probably go months without talking, but we’ve stayed in touch, and [Adam] is a guy who has transcended wrestling and is a Hollywood star.”

Adam Copeland is set for action at tonight’s MLP Northern Rising event. He faces Steve Maclin in a singles bout. Northern Rising takes place at the Mattamy Athletic Centre at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
