Let us shy away for a minute from basketball. Though the WWE has been tagged as fake, the injuries that the stars are real. And now it has been reported that WWE champion Edge has been forced to retire and that it is a legitimate piece and not another storyline.

Wrestling entertainment has done a wonderful job offering people a physical but yet entertaining form of pastime, something that has evolved more into a show rather than a competitive sport. But just like what we see on their site or in television, the hazards are indeed real.

But this time, it seems that one superstar will actually be retiring “for real” and is not part of another storyline which the WWE has been good at doing. The latest WWE superstar that is reportedly forcibly saying goodbye is WWE Heavyweight champion Edge.

As most forcedly retired superstars, Edge is saying goodbye due to injuries that will reportedly never get medical clearance due to the seriousness of the injury. As per WWE.com, Edge has been suffering numbness and uncontrollable trembling in his arms and hands.

As per medical reports, these are symptoms of Neuropraxia, a condition in which a nerve remains in place after a severe injury although it no longer transmits impulses.

After undergoing an MRI along with these findings, it was revealed that Edge (or Adam Joseph Copeland), may never get medical clearance since this could result in paralysis or even death. Thus Edge has been forced to retire with a heavy heart.

While this may seem to be another storyline that WWE has been known for, various sources (including some from the WWE) have verified that the retirement is not a storyline and is actually legitimate.

Edge, now 37, bids goodbye to a fruitful 13 year career in the WWE. He held the WWE Heavyweight championship 7 times and the WWE belt for 4 times.

During the last episode of RAW, Edge was given the microphone to deliver his farewell speech which became emotional.

After his emotional farewell speech, Copeland was given a standing ovation from the WWE fans. Once in the WWE locker room, Edge received claps and hugs from other WWE superstars who along with wrestling fans will surely miss him.
