More On The Edge Tribute At SD!, More Stars Pay Tribute + Major HOF Rumors

– As noted late last night here on the website with my live report, after the SmackDown! taping finished last night in Albany, NY, Christian and Edge hugged in the ring and gave the crowd a "Five second pose." Then the entire WWE roster in attendance, including Triple H, came out on the ramp to pay tribute to Edge. Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero and Triple H all Edge and Christian in the ring. Edge gave a long speech to the live crowd, thanking everyone from the ring crew to catering on down. He mentioned Kane as one of his closest friends in the business next to Christian and thanked Lita and Vickie Guerrero. He then said he was going home to vacation and lay low and play with his dogs.

– There are rumors within WWE that WrestleMania in 2013 will take place in Toronto and that both Edge and Trish Stratus will go into the Hall of Fame. More soon.
