Edge thinking about retiring at WrestleMania XXVIII?
-- Following a successful World Heavyweight Title defense over Dolph Ziggler Saturday night in Toronto, Ontario, Edge announced to the audience, "I might only have a couple more of these visits left in me, and I want to end my career in Toronto. Maybe if Mania is here."
With the rumours that WrestleMania XXVIII will be in Toronto, let the speculation begin here. Hypothetically, Edge were to retire at WrestleMania next year -- who would you like to see him wrestle. I'm going to start the landslide in favour of Christian now. Pfft |

What's the bet that Randy Orton headlines the WrestleMania in St. Louis?

I predict that WrestleMania XL will be in New York but not MSG (unless they build a new one that is a huge arena). Vince will be dead by WrestleMania XL and therefore Triple H will do what only make sense, and book it in a huge ass stadium to make more money. Fuck sentimental memories when you can roll around in huge piles of CASH.

How has the SuperDome not hosted a WrestleMania yet? It has hosted almost everything else a stadium that size would host.

Fuck having so much shit in Texas. Three WrestleMania's in Toronto if its there next year?! Thats bullshit. They need a record breaking WrestleMania where they can try to break their own fake record from WM3 soon.
cause it's a shithole. |

god forbid the SuperDome ever hosted a WM, Krispy would never shut up about it

And there really isn't a large enough venue in the NYC area that would do it. The best they could do is outdoors at the new Meadowlands stadium but WM being in late March/Early April would mean it would be cold.. |

Back to the original topic, why is Edge thinking about retiring next year. He wont even be 40.

He probably wants to settle down with his girlfriend and get a baby in her before he gets too old to take care of the baby.

They'd have to have a hell of a WM card for WM to in that monstrosity in Dallas. It would have to feature Cena Vs. The Undertaker for Taker to become 20-0. Cena would be the 2nd most hated in his entire career in that arena for that match. 100.000 Texans ready to rip him a new asshole if they ruin the Walker Texas Taker's record.

I'd have to go with a title match against Christian, come on give him AT LEAST one title run. Edge could then retire after that. Unfortunately, WM28 will also be where the Undertaker reaches 20-0, and whether or not he retires after that, I feel the streak will take away any of the impact of Edge retiring.

to me though, there have been so many wrestlers who have made their careers in their 40's that its kinda odd to see someone want to retire before they even got to 40.
As for the Cowboys Stadium, I think Vince would love to outdraw the Super Bowl in that stadium. The extra seats that could be added on the field for the ring setup would probably be able to put them over 105,000 that they're expecting for the Super Bowl. Im not sure if they could do it or not though. |

Edge has had a more physical career than a lot of people, and has also made a lot more money than a lot of people. I think he'll be looking to dial it down before he reaches a ridiculous age. He probably wants to go out with style.
And really, what else is there left for Edge to do? The WWE needs to literally invent achievements for him if he is going to do anything new. The man has won every single title currently active in the WWE, has won the Royal Rumble, the King of the Ring and Money in the Bank. He is the first modern Grand Slam Champion. His Hall of Fame legacy is cemented. |

I hope this is the way things continue. It's nice to see someone like Edge achieve so much, retire at a young age and go off and hopefully have a normal life. Less Flair endings is good. |

He's gotta be banged up from the ladders. Jeff Hardy was able to do it because of the crack...

I doubt he'd retire for good. He'd become a trainer or one of the backstage guys.

Edge Vs The Undertaker : Loser retires match.
Taker wins and Edge retires. This will be good cuz there will be a lot of suspense and people saying "Well Edge is young so he aint retiring and its time for Taker to go" but in a shock, Taker will win after Edge is hurt in a mysterious way (that go along with Taker's gimmick). |

I could see Edge doing like Shawn Michaels did 1998-2000 and being the cool cocky asshole babyface Commissioner/GM.

edge seems a bit smarter than the average pro wrestler. the proof of it is that he hasn't been married yet, and he hasn't knocked anyone up yet. because of this, his finances are probably in pretty good shape, unlike his body.

Hes really corny and shit, WWE's equal to Abyss. Hope he stays to his word and retires next yr.
Shame really, as he used to be the most entertaining guy on the roster. |
