Thank you Edge
 

Sad to see him go but happy he actually gets to walk away instead of being crippled or dying.


Call this the official Edge Tribute thread, post fav Edge moments!

Not gonna bother posting any moments atm considering how shitty the server is but there are a few. Just hope there's a great send off for him on Smackdown.

Thanks for all the great ones Edge.

Yeah...its sad that he retired so early (despite his long career, it shouldn't be over yet) but to continue what Lara said...yeah, great he didn't get crippled or die...but also good for him for going out on top. Always worked hard, and sad to see him go. At least he wasn't pushed out, and that he and WWE were smart enough to end it.

Best wished Edge

I am so glad Edge got out, before he turned into a pill popping alcoholic, aka Scott Hall

At least he had a great run, nearly 2 decades of decadence. However, hearing him say all the symptoms and his neck injury and surgery, reminded me of why Paul Orndorff had to retire back in 1995, just when he was about to find his niche.

I was 100% expecting Del Rio's music to hit during Edge's promo. Now I'm surprised to read that this is legit.

If it's something legit, none of that interrupting bullshit will happen.

No Mercy 1999. Tag Team Ladder Match. E&C vs The Hardyz.

Thank you, Adam.

My favorite Edge moment.

Wrestling retirements last a week or two.

Premature thread.

Shawn Michaels proved you wrong.

Jake Roberts, Ric Flair & Terry Funk keep proving me right.

I was honestly never a big Edge fan but it was shocking and sad to see him go.

I haven't seen it, but I'm absoultely shattered. I would argue there is not a bigger Edge fan on these forums than myself. I think this was backed up by posters on here from around the world txting me to ask if I was watching (I'm at work) and how I feel.

I don't know, I'm kind of in shock. I feel weird that I'm so choked up over a performer I have respected since his first day in the company has been forced to give up what he loves doing. I guess I'll post some memories tonight when I finish.

<font color=goldenrod>I was there live. Assumed it was a work and kept expecting something else to go down. Was shocked when it didn't.

I love Edge. I'll admit I've been "indifferent" about him since La Familia ended - but that really just had more to do with the fact that the guy literally had done EVERYTHING except win the Rumble, and in within a year and a half went on to knock off that one, too.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>WWE's wording of it just sounds weird:

After careful medical examination of a serious spinal condition, it has been determined that World Heavyweight Champion Edge will never be cleared to compete ever again.

Just saying "never ever" makes it sound workish. But after Raw ended Cena came out and talked about Edge and stuff again. It's real, folks.</font> :(

Sad when he announced it and then it was confirmed shortly in a news report but at least he knew it was the right time and didn't need to risk more of his future's health for a few more weeks or months worth of feuds and matches.

I loved how he was part of one of the best eras for tag team wrestling in the WWF/WWE and his "Rated R Superstar" character being a great fit against Cena's overtly babyface character.

To anyone who has even a slight inkling that this is a work...sorry to burst your bubble, but he's done. There's absolutely no "storyline" reason to have this go down, plus the WWE has a story up on his medical condition on their website. Unfortunately, Edge has wrestled his last match :'(

I shed a tear during his speech, I'll admit it. Gonna miss Edge, one of the greats. I think we'll see him back in a non-wrestling capacity though, he's got a lot to give on the mic still.

Really sad to see Edge go but I think it is better for him to hang it up before his injuries paralyze him, causing him to not be able to walk. Mad props to Edge for all of the great memories/matches that he has given us.

Yeah, because WWE putting something on their website is VERY reliable.

However, I DO believe the retirement is legit. Was never, EVER an Edge fan, but, you know...he did his thing.

Its not just that they threw on some random story, they said:

I doubt they'd fuck around and make a serious medical condition like that a work. He's most certainly done from in ring competition.

Real shame.

Gonna really miss the dude. Another of my reasons to continue to watch wrestling is gone and it makes me sad.

This fucking sucks.

Del Rio is gonna be the WHC soon probably.

I’ve been a fan of Edge ever since the beginning (hence my username: Rated R Superstar + Instant Classic). I loved his feud with John Cena. When he returned and won the Royal Rumble, I remember being hyped up and like, “YES!!!!!”

Thank you, Edge. WWE would be lucky to have a roster full of guys with your passion and talent.

I dunno man...I actually think they'll move it over to Christian, at least for a month or so. Would be a lot more appropriate, and a really feel good moment...maybe even having Edge come out and congratulating Christian to close the PPV.

Well next Smackdown will be the last time Tony Chimel will get to say Rated R SOUUUperstar :'(:(.

I wasn't expected this at all. I was thinking he was going to retire next year after WrestleMania. I'm glad that he got his 10th (and now 11th) championship reign before this. I'm also glad that he finally got to team up with Christian one last time before it was over too. Hopefully this is now time for Christian to take over for his friend and lead Smackdown as the top face.

A great career and the WWE will never be the same without him. I think at times we kindof took Edge for granted. It's going to be a different place without the Rated R Superstar that's for damn sure.

Hopefully this isn't Edge's final time working for WWE. I'd love to see him come back in some capacity in the future as an agent, announcer or producer.

Thank you Edge.

:wave: :'(

I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell must be some takers in this room....

basically anyone who is employed by Vince takes a piss and its on the internets 8 seconds later yet there hasn't been one report of this "numbness". Reports have said he was going to wrap it up soon in a couple years not a couple weeks. gives him time off, return later then one last run.

Looks like someone trusts the dirt sheets a little too much.

Did you ever consider that the almighty IWC may just not have all the information? Or that maybe Edge's condition has been kept really quiet? Come on.

It's a work! Edge really just lost his smile.

looks like someone will believe anything they put on TV

I'm always sad to see another awesome maker of childhood memories retire.

Fav moment will always be him spearing a dangling Jeff Hardy.

Edge was a guy who was over with the crowd from the second he set foot in a ring. It just was.

I figured he'd be retiring soon/early for his age, but not this abruptly. I don't view this as sucking. It does suck that he's gone from programming, but he did so much with his career and I think he has a legacy that will only improve over time. He gets to retire as champion, and in his prime.

Kinda wish Christian had come out and done a 5 second pose.

Smackdown? It could happen :y:

Yeah, meant on Smackdown.

E&C were golden.

Edge is my favorite wrestler ever

pretty bummed right now
