All Purpose Edge Retires Thread

[isink]

I can take it as semi-legit. I can see him doing one more match at extream rules dropping the world title in a ladder match or a match he is known for. Austin retired becouse of the same reosons, he admits he could have kept going but the a result would have been a horrible quality of life.

-- Well I've accepted for it is, very sad. Edge took the attitude era to peak at Wrestlemania 17 and saw it to its conclusion. One of the best mid-card to main event transitions they've had in the modern era.

All purpose Edge thread please

If the retirement is real, then today we lost one of the greatest heels in the history of the WWE.

Thank you Edge, I wouldn't be a fan if it wasn't for you. You were the first wrestler that I connected with and thought "wow he's awesome!"

From PWInsider:
EDGE RETIRES
by Mike Johnson @ 10:18 PM on 4/11/2011

For those who are wondering, the Edge retirement speech was 100% legitimate and real. We were told by a company source earlier this evening that when the major announcement was made tonight, it was not an angle and not storyline.
The story that Edge told about medical tests coming back and showing there was a new issue with his neck and being advised he must retire are true. He was basically handed a mic and told to go out and say goodbye however he wanted.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Seriously, thank you, Edge. My sister's favorite wrestler, and damn high on my list. I can't say anything BUT thank you.

[wwebrandon2007]

Thank You Edge!

[James McCloud IS John Godot]

Edge...

I'm just glad he'll be okay, apparently. I'll miss him.

[tqiwoenretbysuiirohpc]

Edge worked all you marks... jeez

[Raja Lion]

It makes complete sense considering his injury history. I dont see another match in his future though. Tournament or something like that tomorrow night is announced with finals at Extreme Rules.

I think its been known for a while that Mania was possibly the end and he wanted Christian out there with him for it.

PWI is stating its 100% real.

The one thing I disagree with was they should have allowed him to close the show.

I still can't believe it.

Thank you, Edge. For everything.

[JTG]

That's depressing... so sudden, wow

[Haulk]

If it was a neck issue, he would be told exactly this.

[Beets by Schrute]

Damn this sucks.

That's very serious

[randomranter]

Wow. 30 seconds and the dirtsheets already have their teeth sunk into this.

How stupid would they look if this all turns out to be a giant work?

Just sayin....

[rprince18]

we just just lost bastista ,jericho , hbk ,maybe under taker and now edge, the maineventers seem to be droping like files now.

[lionheart21]

I have no way to express how I'm feeling right now. I am literally stunned right now.

First we lost Larry Sweeney today, and now Edge is retired. This is a rough day for wrestling.
