The only one who should get crap for the whole "Eddiespoitation" crap is WWE themselves. People like Rey or Vickie don't get a whole lot of say in these matters like "Geez, do I take the money I might need right now or do I say no".

Vickie isn't acting like a top face saying 'i'm doing it for Eddie!' every week, like Rey was. Personally, I just found it annoying.

Apparently someone on dailymotion has footage from post-SD last night with the wrestlers paying tribute to Edge. I can't post the link, but if anyone goes to LOP, its in a headline over there. Since I don't know if said footage will air on Friday, I'll put it under spoilers: {Spoiler}5 SECOND POSE! *marks until his brain turns into spinach dip* Great of Triple H (in business suit) to come out and hug Edge. And I just knew Edge was going to lose it and cry on Smackdown. THIS BETTER AIR ON FRIDAY!

God, I started tearing up so many times during that fancam, especially during his speech.

Just want everyone to know somehow someone got a WWE feed of Smackdown up on YouTube. It includes both Edge's Title relinquish speech as well as the post-show speech. Awesome stuff.

Just finished watching both myself. Glad someone got it up there since I have to miss SD this week. I think people will be a lot more emotionally invested in it than they were on Monday now that they see it coming and they aren't caught as off guard as you humanly can be by something that unexpected and huge. {Spoiler}I really, really want to say something about the fact that HHH somehow found a way to get all the eyes on him in the middle of that farewell at the end of the show, but it isn't the time. I'm just glad he got the send off he deserved. Next stop, HOF.

I guess you could call me an Edgehead. Shows just aren't the same without hearing his theme and Edge coming out like he's completely wired on the crowd reception.
I would mark hard if Edge becomes the new Raw GM. It would complete his "war against stupid". And Edge would have a fun time with it.
Make this happen.

Cried my freaking eyes out. This. Needs. To. Air. I don't care if it's on Smackdown, WWE Classics, or a future Edge DVD. Personally, they could eliminate 20 minutes of the show to make room for that footage Friday and I'd be perfectly happy. And the fans.....some people are just so god damned rude. People think they're "funny" or "getting themselves over" or whatever. To anyone who pulls crap like that: You're not funny. You're rude, childish, immature, and the only thing people think is that you're a massive douche. As for whether or not he left on his own terms....I still think he did, in a way. He wanted to be one of the best in the business. Not only is he the only male wrestler to be able to retire at the top and do so while being the champion, he got a sendoff that very few in this business get. How many people in this business can say they were able to leave this business the way he did?

The only thing I didn't like about the leaked footage is that {Spoiler}during the five second pose, they should've played the Edge & Christian theme, instead of Edge's current. Also, I hope that during the Smackdown episode in general, they'll show short clips from various points in Edge's career throughout the evening.

At the vary least it will defintely be on WWE.com and its youtube channel after Friday.

Did Edge and Christian even have their own tag team theme? I thought they just used whatever Edge's theme at the time was.

Yes, Edge is going into the Hall of Fame next year. It's because of this that I really wish the HOF were legit.

Did Edge and Christian even have their own tag team theme? I thought they just used whatever Edge's theme at the time was. Well technically it was Edge's theme, but the team of Edge & Christian were well known for that 'You Think You Know Me' version that is on WWE The Music Volume 4. When they split up they both got new themes, Edge got Rob Zombie (keeping the You Think You Know Me intro he'd had since he debuted) and Christian got "At Last". Just want everyone to know somehow someone got a WWE feed of Smackdown up on YouTube. It includes both Edge's Title relinquish speech as well as the post-show speech. Awesome stuff.

Why does he have to be such an ego driven idiot that he can't walk out with the rest of the roster? He has to come out on his own to his music so everyone goes 'Oh wow! Even Triple H is here!'

{Spoiler}Iv just watched the episode now (I have never seen an episode of SD this soon on youtube before :-O) Incredible, I really enjoyed the Battle Royal and found it worked in all the storylines perfectly, one of the best over the top rope battle royals iv seen in a while, and I think the Christian vs Del Rio match will be great (fingers crossed for Christian!)
The two speeches Edge gave were amazing, I got teary eyed during both of them, he comes of as a great and a down to earth guy and I wish him the best for the rest of life outside the business. I do agree what is said above about HHH, it wasnt needed he should have come out with the rest of the roster like everyone else. Even so it didnt ruin a great moment and one of the best SD iv ever seen (I also enjoyed Cody's promo, Del Rio's promo and Rey/Drew)

But yeah, dude should have come out with everyone else.
