They probably coach them to say certain things if anyone does this in the media. 'Pull out something about an injury' - I mean, it's perfect, most of the roster have had them.

WWE has been open about the 'entertainment' nature of the industry and set outcomes. They maintain a kayfabe world but apart from that they are very open about what they are presenting as a form of entertainment.
They certainly do not coach their wrestlers, or make it a point to portray it as real to the media.
What Edge said is a case of self defense and education regarding the validity of athleticism and danger in the line of work and the industry, which in the minds of some ignorant outsiders is non-existant. He did it on principle, personal and professionally and was justified in doing so. He didn't look like an idiot to overall, smark mark or outsider POVs included.
If he looked like such an idiot, or it was an embarassment. Why can't I even find it on youtube, where you can find ANYTHING? Nobody was put off by Adam Copelands comments.
