The only accomplishment I can think of him missing out on is being a Grand Slam champion. Great career, and deserves to be in the HOF.

Im not ashamed to say I got tears watching that. He was an amazing wrestler and seems like an awesome guy in real life. I hope everybody does get behind Christian, including Vince.

Even though i dont watch anymore, sucks to hear he's retiring, i was really a big fan of his ever since he debuted in WWF. As a kid i thought it was so awesome to see someone enter through the audience, and his badass loner (and later Brood) character just screamed cool to me back then. Then as an early teen Edge and Christian were always my favourite tag team just cuz they were hilarious. You could always tell they were good friends in real life, and I hated seeing them break up. I was happy to see him achieve solo success though.
Just going off the videos, it looked like a really good, classy send off. The 5-second pose brought a big smile to my face (though it seemed only like 10% of the crowd knew what it was).

The 5-second pose brought a big smile to my face (though it seemed only like 10% of the crowd knew what it was). I've just been to a Smackdown house show here tonight which Edge showed up at, and he acknowledged that. Upon completion of a 5 second pose he said "The young ones out there are probably wondering what the hell we just did there....we're old."

Anyone else get to see Edge live? I got to see him twice, once in 2002 where he faced Chris Jericho in a ladder match, and again in 2005 where he faced John Cena in a cage match.

I saw him in 2006 and 2008. One was at a super show in 2006 and the second was at a smackdown house show in 2008. I'm sad I'll never get to see him live again

is that a Edge retirement shirt that he's wearing? I think so. The back said Done It All, Won It All. Matches of Edge's I've seen: 2004 vs Chris Benoit 2005 or 06: w/ Orton & Umaga vs DX & Cena 2009 vs John Cena 2010: w/ Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes & Alberto Del Rio So that means out of 8 shows I've been to, I've seen Edge 5 times.

Unfortunately I never saw Benoit live, that match would have been fantastic. I did get to see Edge before he retired, Undertaker (he barely ever tours here) and Eddie Guerrero before he died.

Sad to see Edge go, but I'd rather he retire than risk death or being stuck in a wheel chair.
