Edge after the SD tapings. Get the tissues at the ready!

[Error: unknown template video]

Yeah, I was never his biggest fan but this is just heartbreaking as it's so clear he wasn't ready to go just yet. It's just a good thing that they caught his injuries before they got any worse. Watch to the end to hear his speech. I'm soooooooo blubbing :'S

Why you stealing my tweet-links? :P

Seriously, even though I've never been his biggest fan either... he fucking deserved those standing ovations like almos no one else.

I had no idea lol I've just seen it on wrestlingnewsworld.com :D

He's another one of the guys who's taken the opportunities given to him and made a pretty stellar career out of it. I agree about the ovations - everybody in those crowds, fans of him or not, showed him the due respect he so richly deserved.

Yeah, I've gotten the link from there, too.

Not only the crowd, but also the whole roster paid him the respect he deserved. It's just incredible. He's surely been one of the best of the last two decades, wrestling AND entertainment-wise.

Teared up. The 'real' moments in wrestling. I love when we get to see the real people behind the character but...man this was emotional. Not a big fan of Edge but I respect Adam Copeland as I do all of them for doing what they do and giving what they did. Man hugs made me tear up, and how heartfelt he spoke of everyone. Thank you for sharing the link <3

No problem :) I think it's awesome how they all came out and showed him such love and respect. Shows what a well respected and cool guy he is backstage <3

Damn it Hunter!! I was managing to hold it together until he had to come out and be a sweetheart and hug Edge like that - gonna miss Edge so much - said it before he was my first wrestling crush (followed about a match later by Hunter!!) so year I'll be in the corner sniffling if anyone needs me :(

What got me was when the guy filming it started taping the big screen above the ring and you could see how closely Hunter was holding him *flails* For all people bitch about Hunter they've got to see from stuff like this that he genuinely does care for the other guys.

*passes you the tissues* All this genuine emotion does does me in too. I daren't even watch that video again yet!!

Edgey! D: I love that man, always have in a way, whether it was cursing him for his battles against the Hardy's or cheering for him during any one of his fabulous matches.

I wish him the best in all he does.

Although the part where he called Kane is best friend and stated that he loved that Big guy that just gave me more inspiration. *facepalm* even in the midst of saddness slash finds it's way into my brain. lol

anyways, Wish you the Best Edgey!

I'm looking forward to seeing a full clear version of his leaving speech tonight on SD. I'm so glad they gave him such a great farewell <3
