Hes had a hell of a career ,and is going out on top. I see him back in some capacity , hes just too talented to not be used as a gm or commentator , or maybe manager

I vaguely remember reading that Edge's neck was in a bad way in the last year. Edge gave his all, and was damn entertaining in whatever role he played.
They should make Edge a commentator or GM.

I like how he actually shook Ziggler's hand on his way out, showed that he does indeed respect a guy who he made a former World Champion.

This sucks so much. Edge was always one of my favorites, even when his character was played up to be a douchey face. I'm gonna miss him.

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.... About as much as those that question and call work on everything.

So obviously everyone's completely shocked how random that retirement just was, but we can't say it wasn't unexpected. Edge has been talking retirement for several years, but I'm confused.
Is Edge really hurt or is this just an angle to cover up his contract expiring?

I do hope he can have one more good bye match. Bring Lita back for a one-off gig, have Christian be involved. I don't know who the match would be against. Vince probably wont want him dropping the world title to Christain, but I can see a match with Punk.

On a day that was sad enough with the passing of Larry Sweeney, i'm sad that Edge is retiring, but happy that he is getting out with his body in some kind of good shape. He made the right choice and I respect him for doing this. I'll miss ya Edge.

I still think, even though it was getting a bit stale toward the end, the "Rated R Superstar" Edge was one of the greatest characters in wrestling history. Edge had great in-ring ability, unmatched charisma, and was exactly what the WWE needed at the time he broke through the main-event scene.
John Cena owes Edge a lot, seeing as his feud with Edge was really what catapulted him into superstardom. Edge brought the best out of Cena, and vice versa. Those were some of the best matches of either man's career, and help make RAW 2006 worthwhile.
It's going to be a while before WWE can come up with a superstar the caliber of Edge. Thank you Edge, for all the great memories and matches. You will be missed.

This is legit.
You don't go out there and give a speech like that and have a post like that on WWE's website.
Edge is retired for good due to injuries. Hopefully this won't keep him from being able to live a normal day-to-day life pain free.
I know he had said somewhat recently he would retire in the next year or so before all his injuries caught up to him and he could walk away happy. He's had a solid career but unfortunately lots of injuries and some controversy as well.
That was a weird retirement however....it was unexpected. He was in the middle of a fued and you can tell it was a sudden decision since there wasn't any closure. I guess Smackdown's gonna be interesting this week....maybe Christian rises to his spot?
He's a future HOFer for sure. I'm honored I was there for his last WM match live. I just wish he had gotten to leave on his terms and not being forced out before he was ready.
Thanks for the memories Edge. You're one of the best ever in my book.

To be honest I couldn't believe it when he was out there speaking. Edge was the first guy I remember hating with every ounce of my strength, when he was feuding with Kane and then later when he took Cena's title, (I was like 12 give me a break!) It's sad to see him go, at least his last match was one of the better ones at Mania this year.

I've pretty much always liked the guy but and am bummed that I now wont be able to see him at Extreme rules in a ladder match no less now. But i'm glad that he can be healthy at least. I'm overdue to watch Edge's dvd again and definately will be again soon
THANK YOU EDGE!!!!!!!!!

Like I said in the Raw thread:
It's hard to say something about this right now. Edge has been my favorite since I started watching wrestling 11 years ago. This is...unbelievable. I can't express my sadness right now.
Good bye Edge. And thank you for everything
