Well this past Monday Edge shared the sad news that his wrestling career is over due to injury / risk of further injury that could put him in a wheelchair. I am glad he found out in time and has the chance to walk away rather than having to roll away.
Here is the full transcript of his speech.
You’re may to have to bear with me here a little bit. I’m probably going to ramble and not make much sense, but please bear with me. Uh. A lot of people think that the WWE doesn’t hurt. Um, that what we do, that maybe it’s done with smnoke and mirrors, and I wish that were true. Anybody in that locker room, anybody that has ever stepped foot in here, laced up a pair of boots. They know that’s not the case.
Uh, which brings me to what I am about to tell you. Eight years ago, I broke my neck. Um, I had spinal fusion surgery which means they move your throat over, they put a plate in there, and screws, and it’s really in depth surgery. But because of that surgery I knew that I was, uh, I was wrestling on borrowed time from that point on. Uh, so fast forward, and uh, the last, the last little while I’ve been in a lot of pain. I uh, I’ve been losing feeling in my arms. Um, so, uhhh, I passed strength tests and all of those things, and I made it through Wrestlemania. But, uh The WWE wanted me to go get more tests.
