Edge was one of my favorite wrestlers and him retiring will shrink the roster considerably. Maybe some miraculous surgery will bring him back, but that's really wishful thinking.

I was shocked that Edge retired,but, its for the better, he knows his body has reached its limit and if he keeps going he'll end up in a wheelchair like he said.

Sin Cara was impressive and it looks like the fans are starting to notice him. 

I'm surprised R-Truth is getting a title shot even though its a triple threat match.



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Bah one of the only long time people worth watching is retiring (Edge)

R truth getting a title shot is pretty cool though he wont win.

LOL at John saying we have seen this show before. Dam right@ I was waiting for him to say and we have grown more than bored of it.



The way I will always remember Edge

I just watched the first episode of Tough Enough.  I am impressed.  I guess shows like this have that built in drama of "who's going to get sent home?" and it's been a while since I've watched one but I really enjoyed this.  I espescially like Stone Cold's attitude.

Stone Cold: "You see, that's the thing.....I ain't givin' nothing."

That's the kind of dialog you expect from a shitty action movie and I LOVE it!!

I find it.... weird.

They had Edge win at wrestlemania only for him to retire right afterwords?

Whatever though, Edge was pretty good.  I was always a bigger Christian fan though.

From what I've heard from my sources--at Wrestlemania, Edge was supposed to lose and Christian was supposed to turn heel (causing Alberto to win).  Here's the quote: http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/exclusive-more-on-edges-wwe-retirement-plans-128233

"Earlier tonight, Wrestlezone posted an exclusive report on details regarding WWE star Edge's sudden retirement.

After speaking with several different sources, I can now confirm that Edge did seek medical advice and at least one doctor was in Pittsburgh, as WWE.com reports. As Edge mentioned in his speech on RAW, his neck is what is in question. The severity is such that any match could have been his last and caused severe permanent damage.

I am also finding out that Edge's health questions came into play when the WrestleMania script was being written. A Christian heel turn was heavily talked about and considered going into WrestleMania, but with the WWE aware of Edge's health, they went against turning a face such as Christian heel on Smackdown. Due to these factors, Christian remained a face at WrestleMania. This allowed Edge to walk away with the title which has led to him getting to leave "on top" and having an appropriate send off."

As he should have. He is a awesome wrestler and has done a lot of interesting stuff in the WWF. Being forced to retire on such a short notice if he had left losing it would have been a shaft to him.

If only they had given Bret Hart this sort of respect when he left...
