[The Fury 65]

brie bella is the new divas champ....

 

Kong better come sooner rather than later after this first vid

[Guest HH-Evolution]

Holy heck...

 

That was quite the nice finisher for Sin Cara. Nicely done!

[The Fury 65]

Looked like a botch from primo before though, im taking bets he's gone 2 weeks later...

[JobberJoe 108]

I think I love Sin Cara.

[Guest HH-Evolution]

I guess the APPLE just fell from the tree here! :D

[The Fury 65]

santino is just incredible, absolutely incredible. Only one of a very few that hits the spot every week.

 

WHAT IS HE NOT GETTING A PUSH THAT HE DESERVES!!!

 

Edit-He's getting them to chant apple, that in itself is awesome!

Because he can not, and never will be, taken seriously as a wrestler by McMahon? :P

[The Fury 65]

cole/lawler feud has easily been the best long term feud they have done in years. Whoever's doing the booking for that is doing a great job. Not even had the match and jr/cole/swagger and lawler have already gathered heat and interest.

[Guest Inno]

I was thinking the Edge thing was a set up for a Del Rio attack... I'm not so sure. He looked too legit. He's been talking retirement for months. If it's a work, they let him ramble on for some time and even mention un-PG Live Sex.

 

I think he might well be gone.

 

If he is, get him behind a desk and shoot Booker T

[Guest HH-Evolution]

....Not Edge. D:

 

I liked that guy - Godspeed, Adam Copeland...I hope you have a good time outside!

[The Fury 65]

If this is a work, then the writers and edge have done great in selling it as legit. Possibly set up del rio to coax him to get into the ladder match against doctors and wwe's orders.

 

on the other hand if it isn't....

 

Really don't know what to think here.

[Guest Dante Spears]

Well Jimmy got what she wanted, Edge won't be around to be a jerk babyface

Update on Edge's Retirement from Tonight's RAW

 

For those who are wondering, the Edge retirement speech was 100% legitimate and real. We were told by a company source earlier this evening that when the major announcement was made tonight, it was not an angle and not storyline.The story that Edge told about medical tests coming back and showing there was a new issue with his neck and being advised he must retire are true. He was basically handed a mic and told to go out and say goodbye however he wanted.

 

- WWE sources indicate that the Edge retirement from tonight's RAW is 100% legitimate and not part of a storyline.

 

The story that Edge told about tests coming back and showing issues with his neck are true. Edge was handed a mic at RAW tonight and told to go out and say bye however he wanted.

 

No word yet what will happen to the World Heavyweight Title.

;.; Goodbye, Edge!

R-Truth is in a world title match

 

What the actual hell?! I didn't put stuff in my dinner tonight, did i just see that r-truth is in a proper world title match at extreme rules?!

 

 

Edit-Just saw that edge's retirement is legit, really don't know what to say on that :(

At least Edge got out before it was too late. Apart from that, John Cena is the Jedward of wrestling. That R-Truth match was just dire, because Cena is still dire.

[Guest Eiyuu]

I was honestly thinking the Edge bit was setting up an angle but, like most here have said already, the speech seemed pretty legitimate. Now with the report saying the same I really don't know what to think anymore.

 

On the upside, now Smackdown has no choice but to create another main eventer to replace him. At least after Christian gets his spot.
