Wrestlers comment on Edge's retirement, Questions on Cena/Rock, Sin Cara, and matches without commentary, new UWF promo video, son of Hall of Famer considering wrestling, how much Donald Trump made for his work in WWE, Sting to appear on a TNA house show (for once), A lookback at Edge's other major neck surgery, New WWE signee wrestling final independent match, Raw and Tough Enough ratings, Superstars spoilers, Angle to sign new TNA deal, more on Matt Cross, and what happened after Smackdown

As you might imagine, there were a good number of talents who commented about Edge retiring on Twitter. What follows are links to lists of people who commented on it.

Link 1 (Christian, Jim Ross, Kelly Kelly, Joey Styles, Gail Kim, Howard Finkel, Yoshi Tatsu, Eve Torres, Vickie Guerrero, Natalya Neidhart and Michelle McCool)

Link 2 (Hulk Hogan) There's a reason the doctors told some of those guys to quit 15 years ago. It's because they didn't/don't belong in the ring anymore. Stupid for him to blame Edge being pulled because WWE's a "media company". It wasn't a media doctor that checked him out, it was a renowned sports doctor. And if wrestlers work hurt, Hulk must not be a wrestler because he's pulled out of matches due to injuries (some would say perceived injuries) in the past. 0/10.

Update: He clarified himself a bit here. Doesn't really help his case much.

Link 3 (Chris Jericho, Eric Bischoff, Wade Barrett, Kevin Nash, and Taz) Obviously Edge was very well liked in the industry.

Link 4 (Shawn Michaels, Paul Bearer, Samoa Joe, Jim Ross, Tommy Dreamer, Kurt Angle, and Charlie Haas)

Link 5 (Bret Hart)

Link 6 (Former WWE Creative team member Dave Lagana)

Link 7 (Zack Ryder. The link also has a correction of something WWE said, replay ratings for Tough Enougj, an update on Gangrel, and Bret Hart's latest charity drawing)

Link 8 (John Cena, The Rock, Randy Orton, Goldust, Beth Phoenix, Kizarny (Sinn Bodhi), Gangrel, Mick Foley, Rikishi, Sean Waltman, Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, Seth Rollins, Steve Corino, MVP, Tara, Blue Meanie, Shad, and Kazarian)

It's awesome that so many people showed respect to him for his retirement. Standing ovation for him, and applause to everyone (fans included) who had such kind words for him. A tip of the hat to Matt Hardy especially; I'm glad they buried the hatchet.

After the break, I dive in to the rest of the day's news and PWInsider.com's questions of the day.

First up, yes it's just coincidence (as far as we know) that John Cena vs. The Rock is on April Fool's Day. I REALLY doubt they'd build that up for a year just to prank fans. They'd lose so much credibility and money that it wouldn't be close to worth it. WrestleMania 17 was on April Fool's Day as well and it was considered one of the best shows ever. And yes, there are similarities in the hype to Rock vs. Hogan. And HBK vs. Hogan for that matter.

I didn't really have a problem with Sin Cara debuting against Primo. Start him off with relatively lower-card guys so we can get used to him and what he can do. You don't test the water's depth with both feet.

No, Sin Cara doesn't speak much English. I think this could be a problem down the line. For now, his role's working, but how often does someone make it to the top of WWE without strong (English) promo skills? Umaga and Khali were beasts and got over based on that to a degree in addition to their managers.

Nothing to add to question #4, but I also loved the Lawler/Swagger match without commentary. That was a great idea. If WWE had more managers, that'd be cool every once in a while. That was a special case, though, because they're normally commentators anyway.

Here's the latest promo for the Urban Wrestling Federation. Interesting stuff. It launches this summer on PPV. If they get a TV deal, I'll seriously consider covering them regularly. That's IF they get on a basic cable channel.

The son of Road Warrior Animal (and nephew of WWE's VP of Talent Relations Johnny Ace) is considering a jump to WWE if the NFL lockout continues.

This article looks at how much money Donald Trump's charity got for Trump's appearances with WWE. I don't really have a problem with that, as long as WWE (and USA) got that money back through the increase in ratings and PPV buys and the like. Considering how much money Trump is worth, he can justify high appearance fees.

Sting is making a very rare house show appearance for TNA in Memphis. He's the promotion's World Heavyweight Champion, and makes more money in a year than the President. Meanwhile, there are people who work as many shows as the company will let them, and don't get paid close to that much. I can't be the only one thinking there's a problem with that.

PWTorch.com has a flashback to Edge's previous major neck surgery in 2003.

WWE developmental signee Jon Moxley will wrestle his final match on the indy scene at Evolve 7 next Tuesday.

Raw did a 3.4 on Monday night. Not bad.

Tough Enough got a 1.81 in its 8:00 spot and a 1.09 in its 11:00 spot. Chalk a good deal of that up to a lot of people not knowing about the timeslot change. It's been doing VERY well coupled with its numerous replays.

Here are the Smackdown brand spoilers for Superstars: Chris Masters defeated Curt Hawkins.

Kurt Angle will remain with TNA past his current August contract expiration. A great move for TNA.

Here's more about Matt Cross post-Tough Enough elimination. Joey Styles also had a comment on it.

Finally on this loaded news day, this is what happened after the Smackdown tapings. That's mega-awesome.

That concludes today's news post. It was a lot of work, and I apologize for the lateness! More news to come tomorrow.
