He apparently just blanked her back stage at WM.
Really a shame that Edge has to retire. His goodbye speech was heartfelt and it got me thinking how much better wrestlers (i don't care what you say Vince, you'll always be a wrestling company despite your denials) would get themselves over if they were allowed to do their own promos rather than just read a script.
It's also worrying just how paper thin the WWE roster is. Having R-Truth in the main event seems a bit of an odd move given he's been jobbed out pretty much every time he appears on TV. Now, it might be the WWE are trying to freshen up the main event scene but an instant elevation needs the guy getting the rub to be pushed and protected. The sort of protection that Orton and Cena get, ie 5 on 1 matchs etc end with the 1 being the winner. Orton and Cena are established enough that they can do without the cotton wool, but you need 4/5 of the under guys to get a bit of help, couple of good winning streaks.
I thought they were going to do that with R-Truth vs Cena as he kept kicking out of Cena's big moves, but then they just kicked the legs out from under him by having Miz and Riley interfere.

| Oh right, thanks guys. Wonder why he'd do that.

Did the Miz put anyone else to sleep when he was on the mic during the last match?
BTW somone needs to tell Micheal Cole that just repeating parrot fashion JR's catchphrases is neither witty, funny or in fact heat making, It is just cringeworthy.
I was getting Pi**ed at Cole (as you should with a heel) pre WM but i'm now at the point where I am just disinterested with the whole thing.

Have little memory of the first two and I would have remembered them if I'd thought they were anything special. I remember a spectacular spot with Edge taking Cena's finish off a ladder.
The match with Foley was memorable for how hardcore it was, admittedly.
Even if most agreed that the three matches you mention were classics, two great matches at minor PPV's and one at Mania isn't exactly the resume of a legend. As I said, the title history indicates a legendary career but there's no way I'd rank him alongside some of the greats.
Clearly very well respected amongst peers though and a great servant to the industry.

Ah right, in that case I can kinda understand Morrison (although he shouldn't take it out on Trish obviously given her contributions to the company over the years). It is frustrating when Snooki (had never even heard of her before WM) gets a spot on the biggest event of the year whilst a guy like Daniel Bryan is bumped off.

Sorry but going to have to disagree MadDogg - he's had countless great matches on TV and PPV (his main event with Taker at WM a few years ago was another classic). The thing with Edge too is his versatility - he can have a great match with nearly everyone on the roster, + think of his contributions to tag-team wrestling during the Attitude Era, the guy's a legend IMO. Would never have said that before his Rated R gimmick admittedly, but with that piece of luck he turned himself into one of the best heels of the last 10 years and one of WWE's MVP's in my opinion.

| Real shame about Edge retiring.
The TLC matches with Christian, The Hardys and The Dudley Boyz were some of my favourite matches of all time. The abiding memory from one of them being Edge delivering an almighty Spear to Jeff Hardy off the top of a ladder whilst Hardy was swinging from the hanging belts.
One of the greats as far as tag team wrestling is concerned and a damn fine singles competitor.

Those matches were class. Absolute shame he's retiring.

| The Tag Team Ladder Match at No Mercy 1999 was awesome. I remember watching it and marking out like I was 12 years old. Fantastic stuff.

| Shame that Edge has retired but for his long term health and future it is for the best, plenty have carried on and then got addicted to pain killers. He's retired at only 37 but he's had a really full career.
When I used to stay up and watch the PPV's I absolutely loved those TLC matches.

| Kurt Angle has recently tweeted that he will be signing a new deal with TNA.
Wonder if THAT's another of those updates that come when his twitter account gets "hacked"
