Goodbye Edge, We Will Miss You

As many of you probably already know, WWE Superstar and current World Champion Edge declared his retirement on the most recent episode of Raw.  This has been confirmed to be legitimate and not part of any storyline or angle.  Edge stated that recent medical tests have stated that his previous neck injury (which required extensive surgery) has not gotten any better and will actually get worse if he continues to wrestle.  With tears in his eyes, Edge thanked the fans for a great run and bid farewell to the WWE Universe.  I am personally very sad to see Edge leave, as he is one of the last true greats of my generation of wrestling, but I do agree with his decision.  Edge strongly believes that if he continues this hard hitting lifestyle he will probably end up in a wheelchair.  Edge was truly a great performer and revolutionized a lot of matches in the WWE.  It was announced that Edge will be forfeiting the World Title but nothing else was revealed about the future of the belt.
