When Edge Made The Decision To Retire

Late last night here on WrestlingINC.com, we posted a WWE.com article on Edge's retirement. It said that Edge has been suffering numbness and uncontrollable trembling in his arms and hands recently, which are symptoms of a nervous system disorder called nueropraxia. He had the same issues when he had his neck fusion surgery several years ago.

According to WWE.com, Edge had an MRI done on Monday and was diagnosed with stenosis of the spine, a narrowing of the spinal cord due to the abuse he's taken since coming back from the fusion surgery. Continued abuse from bumping could have resulted in serious injury, including paralysis.

This is 100% real as noted earlier and the decision to retire was made within the last few days. WWE obviously would have had Del Rio win the title at WrestleMania if they knew ahead of time. For what it's worth, that was the original plan several weeks ago.
