Last Week was Edge Week

Come WWE sunday (we get Raw, Smackdown, NXT, and the soon to be doomed Superstars on one super duper wrestling fun packed day) the only thing that really stood out from the line up was Edge's retirement.

Sure Matt got a big fat Stone Cold boot out of Tough Enough. Too bad, that guy had talent but lacked any balls. He was way too nice for his own good. Oh well...

Raw was a dudd this week except Edge's heart wrenching announcement, let's skip NXT and Superstars, and well Smackdown didn't do it for me either except for the battle royal where Christian deservedly won his number one contender's match at Extreme Rules (PPV). Didn't Christian already win his number one contender's spot? Why he has to prove to everyone again that he deserves his spot is beyond me, but alas he came out victorious.

After Christian's win Edge came out to the ring, the televised feed finished soon after but filming didn't. WWE.com has an exclusive video showing Edge giving his final final goodbye speech. The guys and gals from the locker room came out including Triple H. Hugs were everywhere. Here's some of the highlights...
  • Edge, "Smackdown has always felt like my show"
  • He specifically thanked Rey Mysterio, Undetaker, Kane (didn't want to ruin his reputation), Regal, Marty (even though he's a bit of an idiot)
  • He didn't want to thank Booker T because he'd have to do an Edge-a-roonie but it's not possible anymore
  • The crowd chanted "Hall of Fame" for Edge many times
  • Thanking Vickie Guererro got massive boos from the crowd, "She does such an awesome job. I'm thanking her from the heart and you still boo her"
  • He thanked Christian and covered their history over the years. He even asked his fans, "If there's any Edge heads out there, get behind him [Christian]"
  • And a final thank you went to his fans
  • He gave a big hug to his mum and left
There's more but it's probably better if you can catch it while you can at the link below...
