On the January 2, 2006 episode of WWE Raw, Edge (Adam Copeland in WWE) impersonated Ric Flair and faked a road rage incident, stemming from Flair's real life road rage incident in December 2005. In the real incident, Flair allegedly got out of his car, grabbed a motorist by the neck, and damaged his vehicle. He was charged with two misdemeanors, injury to personal property and simple assault and battery.
On WWE Raw, Edge pulled a man out of his car and attacked him on the side of the road, putting him in a figure four.
That man? Robert Stone.
"I'll say this, I was selling the eye poke because it really hurt. I do remember that and I do remember cars driving by also, and the producers that were around the cars as we were filming go like, ‘No, you could pass.’ As, like, this guy's getting beaten on the road. I told this story at another interview I did, but I was in a Sunday Night Heat match. I believe it was me and I believe Darren Young against the Heartthrobs. If you remember, Romeo Roselli. That was a step-up match and they pulled me from that match because they needed the smallest extra that was there to do this," Stone recalled while speaking to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp.
He continued, "I remember I was upset at the time because I wanted a match. I wanted to be able to put on my gear and get oiled up and it was in Continental Airlines, which is my home arena. So I wanted to wrestle there. But this ended up being way more memorable, obviously. We'retalking about it now and it was on an episode of one, it was one of RAW's Greatest Moments on like one of their episodes. I can't remember the year. It was wild to just to think that that had actually happened. But I think my size and build just kind of fit what they needed, you know?"
Robert Stone never got his revenge on Edge.
Stone is one-half of the announce team for WWE EVOLVE, calling the action alongside Peter Rosenberg. The show premieres on Wednesday, March 5th.
