I think some styles are more condusive to long-term wrestler health- a lot of the older Memphis guys are doing well for themselves, such as Lawler, as well as a lot of luchadors.
WWE style really churned people out, though I think that will change due to all the restrictions in place now.

Dixie Carter hasn't posted on her Facebook since March 2. Before that, she posted all the damn time. Something's definitely up.

Hogan is such a prick. I definitely agree, Edge has put his body through more in his 19 year career than Hogan has done in his much longer time.
Enjoy Russo and the beautiful trainwreck of TNA Hogan

The more I think about it, the stupider R-Truth's push is. The guy is 40 dammit, 3 years older than Edge, a guy who apparently just retired. A year short of HHH, a guy who is winding down his career. He is older the The Rock dammit"
There is loads of guys at 30 that should be getting pushed now, not him.

He should go down to Mexico.
Wear a mask and not have to talk or show any personality.
This has me wondering how this whole Sin Cara thing is going to play out. Guy has an awesome style, but if the only communication he can do is to point at things... he may not last long in WWE.

Well maybe if Trish was a fan of good looking athletically gifted men maybe someone else would get a push.

Unfortunately for Cody, I don't think the world is ready for a champion without knee pads.

So it looks like Edge retiring is real...? That sucks, I was praying it was a work of some sort. After hearing his speech, it made me realize I've watched his entire career, that's crazy long, I got all nostalgic and sentimental. Sad to see him go.

maaaannnnn... I never really marked for Edge (post E&C) before tonight, but damn. It's one of those "you don't miss them until they're gone" things.
I wonder what happened that might have "tweaked" Edge's injury the past few months, if it was one specific thing, or if delaying the inevitable that just caught up to him. Nice promo by Cena, btw.
But who knows, Michaels' career was over for over four years. He came back for maybe a few matches, and we got 8 years out of that return. (I still remember his first post-return HHH match, damn near any back-related move made me cringe)

we need more FPS games
It's sad that Edge is retiring, but I hope that this will help form a blueprint for the future of the wrestling business along with HBK's retirement. OK this one is different in that, it appears to be more forced than Edge would have liked. That said, the less Hogan's & Flair's wrestling far past their prime the better.
The last decade has had way to many tragedies, hopefully the current guys have learned somewhat from the mistakes of the previous generation.

Fuck I got teary eyed through Edge's Speech
I have watched his whole career, it fucking crazy @_@!
It goes to show this sports "ENTERTAINMENT" is now really detrimental to all who work in it
A HUGE FUCK YOU to Mr. Hollywood Hulk Hogan, he lost all respect I had for him
You Wrestled on close to a fucking quarterly basis, 1 PPV, and 1-2 Saturday Night Main Event
These guys are roughing through 300 dates, putting their bodies on the line, doing some extreme crazy shit to give the public what they paid for
Fucking Meth Hardy LOL, Hogan you are a has been, an ancient relic that needs to be buried away
Also spindashing hope your AJ gets every STD in the world from your snarky ass comment
Respect to Edge for looking out for his life, and not drudging to be a 55 year old ass timer who cant let go like other stupid fucks
These 2 will be on my iPod all night tonight:

Angle's neck has been a mess for 8 years.
Everyone pleaded with him not to work WM19 against Lesnar. They told him one awkward bump could paralyze or kill him.

Considering that Edge grew up idolizing Hogan, cheering for him in the crowd at WrestleMania VI and even winning the tag team titles with him using Hogan's legdrop, Hogan's remarks come across as even more classless.
This is how little Terry Bollea thinks of his fans.

-Batista leaves in 2010
-HBK retires in 2010
-Jericho leaves (again) in 2010
-Edge retires in 2011
-Taker's final match will likely be at WM28
-HHH's final match also looks to be at WM28
-Mysterio probably doesn't have much time left due to injuries
-Kane and Big Show are on the downturn of their respective careers
Really feels like one era of the WWE is coming to a close.

I'm glad Edge got out before he did himself irreparable damage, but some of these guys are far too attached to the business to leave, even when seriously injured, and others plain can't afford to give it up for whatever reason. Hell, try telling Terry Funk to stop wrestling - how many years ago was Beyond the Mat? The doctor in that tells Terry Funk that he has no cartilage left in his knees and his knee joints are just bone rubbing on bone, yet 12 years later and Funk's still working. Fucking Abby's still hauling his ass to ringside in Japan and any sleazy indy that'll pay him enough, the dude can't even get in the ring unassisted any more. Gypsy Joe still wrestles for fucks sake, and he's nearly 80.
