Edge’s neck injury forced him to retire from professional wrestling in 2011 and ended his reign as the World Heavyweight Champion.
The heart of the matter
Edge claimed that fans still asked him whether he would ever get in the ring for one more match, to which he replied that the WWE medical staff had barred him from ever wrestling again.
“I appreciate that people always ask me, ‘oh, so you’re going to come back for one more match, right?’ It’s a huge complement that you want me to come back for one more match; however, it can never, ever happen. The WWE has medically disqualified me from ever wrestling again, so for those listening, that’s the way it is, but I appreciate you wanting more.”
What’s next?
Edge has retired from professional wrestling, but he is still invested in several other endeavours. He hosts E&C’s Pod of Awesomeness with Christian and is also pursuing an acting career. There have also been rumblings about a potential second season of the Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness.
Author’s take
Edge is a legendary wrestler, and he is still missed by a lot of fans, but his days as an active competitor are long gone. However, he still has plenty to offer as an entertainer, and his podcast is very entertaining.
