current and former WWE stars commented on Edge’s retirement via Twitter.
Hulk Hogan: “if any of the guys like me, Flair, Hardy, Andre, AA, Blanchard, orndoff, Henning would have listened to doctors we would have quit15yrsago, but I don’t know Edges working environment because they are a media company not a wrestling company. HH wrestlers work hurt!”
“What about Foley! I bet EDGE still wants to keep wrestling,he’s one of the boys big time!!! HH”
“my take is with a unfixable neck injury it’s over ,but he’s one of the boys and it will be hard to keep him down,he’s 4life HH”
After receiving criticism for his remarks, Hogan clarified his opinion.
“I’m not saying anything bad about Edge but he’s a real wrestler,Stone Cold and Cena had neck surgery and u couldn’t stop em,Or Edge it’s in Edges blood,he lives for this business he’s a real wrestler,he a lifer,he’s one of the real boys,he’s hard to hold down,that’s all. HH”
Eric Bischoff: “Best of luck to Edge. Class guy and a great talent. He will find success in anything he pursues.”
Taz: “Edge, 1 of the GREAT guys in the biz. Awesone talent & awesome guy! I live the numbness in arms due to neck issues also, scary.Be well bro.”
Eve Torres: “An emotional night for sure. #ThankYouEdge. One of the most creative, hard working, passionate, & helpful men in the WWE. We’ll miss you!”
Melina, in response to the reaction backstage: “everyone was sad. I know I’m being selfish for Wanting my Fav wrestlers to stay but I’m happy for them 4 leaving on their terms. Leaving such a great mark that we were able to witness.
It is an honor to know him. He has done so much. He has been there for many young talent. I wish him great happiness and well being. But I will keep hoping he’ll be back.”

DVD Review - TNA Final Resolution 2010
DVD Review - TNA Final Resolution 2010
By Phil Allely
2010 had been a year of ups and downs with TNA, there had been many changes to the product and the behind the scenes moves and shakes have seen such people as Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, RVD, Jeff Hardy and Ric Flair join the array of talent that the company has on hand. Final Resolution was TNA’s best shot at ending the year on a high and to a degree it did just that.
Opening things of were tag teams Beer Money and Ink Inc, Storm and Roode proved once again how integral they are to the TNA product by raising the game of their opponents Moore and Neal. The in-ring action was well paced and showed both teams to their best, Neal especially displaying much improved ability and psychology than before.
With the addition of Mickie James and return of Tara to the fold the once mighty Knockouts division was back on track once more. James and Tara adding their brutal and exciting Falls Count Anywhere scrap to their spate of quality encounters. As cat fights go this was a blinder, both ladies going all out to beat each other about the ring, ringside area and anywhere else they could.
Next up TNA newcomer Robbie E defended his X Division gold against Jay Lethal, with E’s good lady Cookie holed up in a shark cage for the duration of the match. The pair put forth a decent and involving bout, trading high spots and near falls.
Former buddies Rhino and RVD were certainly up for their First Blood match too, both unleashing a decidedly old-school ECW style battle.
The match of the night followed and in more ways than one showed that AJ Style is one of TNA’s best workers. His opponent Douglas Williams was no slouch either. The pairing moulded perfectly together to bring the audience in attendance and at home into their mini feud over Styles TNA Television Title. This was pure pleasure for fans of high risk moves, chain wrestling and hard-hitting action.
Generation Me and The Motor City Machineguns was a close second for match of the night though. The added factor of the Tag Team gold on the line and a Full Metal Mayhem stipulation meant the fans expectations were high. Luckily both pulled out all of the stops and went through a roller coaster ride of a match that saw ladders, chairs, insane high-risk moves and some nice looking double teams.
Abyss and The Pope’s Casket match was pretty good considering Abyss’ garbage wrestling style. The pair trading the advantage and pulling the old Undertaker casket lid closing tease a few times.
Samoa Joe’s post match assault by rogue security guys Gunner and Murphy gave Jeff Jarrett a distinct advantage in their Submission match. Jarrett held his own well against a weakened Joe, giving as good as he got, showing no mercy on Joe’s injured ankle.
The main event match between Matt Morgan and TNA Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy was a one sided affair at times, Morgan’s size and strength advantage leaving Hardy on the defensive a lot. The returning Mr Anderson as special referee also put Hardy’s back up too, making the match an exciting way to round off 2010.
Final Resolution was a very good effort by TNA, some of the finishes were not as popular as expected. But it did sprout forth some fine matches and the odd shock win.
