On Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, World Heavyweight champion Edge announced that he is retiring from the squared circle.
According to sources in WWE, Edge’s retirement announcement is 100% legitimate and not a television storyline.
Edge said that he recently had his neck checked out and the results were not good. This is also a legitimate issue and not a storyline.
From what we’re hearing – Edge was told he could go out in the ring and say whatever he wanted.
It was announced on RAW that Edge will forfeit the World Heavyweight title on Friday’ SmackDown. At this time – there’s no word on what will happen with the belt.
We’ll have a lot more on this story during the week, new details are coming in already. Stay tuned.

Credit to SEScoops.com reader Kevin McGuffy for this recap of The Rock on Ellen:
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres show today. She began by asking him, “Is it Dwayne or are you still The Rock.” He said both, “I will always be The Rock but I am Dwayne too.”
They talked about Wrestlemania 27 Rock says it was incredible because he had 70,000 people chanting “If you smell what The Rock is cooking.” Rock says there is no other platform to get that kind of response.
Ellen asked since it had been 7 years were you rusty. He said no it is just like riding a bike you slip right back into it. There is nothing like performing in front of a live audience.
She mentioned you are getting in the ring again, he said in his hometown of Miami next year at Wrestlemania 28 he will be kicking ass and taking names. The funny thing is he never mentioned John Cena.
They showed a clip of Snooki and he said celebrities always want to be a part of Wrestlemania but she took it seriously and trained her butt off.
She asked about Team Bring It, he explained the concept behind it saying Regardless of whatever challenge you face, you always take it head on and never be afraid. Ellen read three responses from Rock’s Twitter says how the Team Bring It had helped them
After a commercial they talked briefly about Fast 5 and then played a True or False game.
Question 1: I am afraid of spiders, roller coasters and miniature horses- Ellen said False and the answer was True
Question 2– I appeared in an episode of Star Trek- Ellen said False but again that answer was True
Question 3– I appeared in the first video of Lady GaGa- Ellen said False and it is False
Question 4– I wanted to join the FBI- Ellen said True and it is True
Question 5– I am fluent in both French and Hebrew- Ellen said False and it is False. Although Rock said he does kiss that way.
Question 6– I can tap dance- Ellen said True, however the card said False but Rock said of course he can tap dance.
Question 7- I am a New York Times Best Selling Author- Ellen said False and of course that answer is True.
Question 8: I can make my pecs dance- Ellen said Yes and Prove It. So Rock does just that. (Video below)
Overall great interview where they actually talked more about wrestling than his new movie.
Check out this video clip of The Rock’s appearance on Ellen:
WrestleMania 27 is in the books and the overall feeling we’ve been hearing is that the show had the “big time” WrestleMania feeling, but the booking of several of the top matches was executed poorly.
We reported shortly before and in the days following WrestleMania that Vince McMahonwas said to be “frantic” backtage and several aspects of the show were re-written just hours before it went on the air.
WWE has been examining the broad from top to bottom in hopes of and taking a look at what could have been done better – and two matches in particular are standing out – John Cena vs. The Miz main event and the Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler special attraction match.
Many think that the double countout finish of the WWE title match was a disaster and not a satisfying finish for the main event of WrestleMania, despite the fact that the entire thing was approved by Vince McMahon the day of the show.
There is also some heat on WWE agent Dean Malenko for the way he laid out the Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler match. While this one seemed like a no-brainer to book, anybody who saw the match would agree that Michael Cole’s was given way too much offense, which killed the energy of the live crowd.
Notre Dame collegiate wrestling champion Derek Foore recently told The Medina Gazette that he’s been offered a chance to train at WWE developmental. WWE talent scout Jerry Brisco recently saw Foore wrestle at a national competition back in March and invited him to be evaluated at Florida Championship Wrestling.
Foore told Ohio’s Medina Gazette that he’s very excited at the prospect of becoming a future WWE superstar:
“Of course I’m going to jump on the opportunity. When I get down to Tampa, though, it’s business, straight business. I’m going there to get a contract. I’ll do whatever it takes to sign on the dotted line. I’m willing to learn. In order to walk, you have to crawl. I think the chances are really good, but I won’t count my eggs before they hatch. I’ll take nothing for granted. I’ll expect the worse, but I’ll be confident I can work toward what I want. They’re not allowing me to ride my bike with training wheels. I’ll take my bumps and bruises along the way. I never thought it would happen. Words can’t describe what I’m thinking.”
Pro wrestling manager Alex Whybrow, who performed as Larry Sweeney for Ring of Honor and numerous American independent promotions, has died at the age of 29.
F4WOnline.com reports that he committed suicide either late last night or this morning. It is believed that he hung himself.
Whybrow suffered from bipolar disorder and had a breakdown in 2009, which he described as “the absolute worst event” of his life. He went through a long recovery process the following year.
He made sporadic appearances on the independent scene after parting ways with ROH in 2009.
Independent wrestler Chris Hero, a friend of Whybrow, commented on his passing on Twitter.
“We lost a dedicated friend and an overwhelmingly talented performer this morning,” he wrote. “Alex Whybrow aka ‘Sweet & Sour’ Larry Sweeney has passed.
“We spent a few yrs together on the road & Alex was gifted beyond measure. He could enthrall you with colorful stories from his personal life or he could captivate thousands with his undeniable charisma. I loved him & my heart is with his family, friends & his countless fans. First he was my student & he transcended that almost immediately. I will forever cherish our in depth conversations & time spent together. Love you man. Miss you. Rest in Peace.”
— John Morrison is not shying away from online reports that he has heat within the WWE locker room. On Monday afternoon, he made light of Trish Stratus alleging during an interview last Friday that he cold-shouldered her following their contest at WrestleMania. Trish suggested Morrison was “not smart” for the way he handled himself at the big event.
“American Airlines is not smart RT @RealMelina: Our bags took over an hour to get to baggage claim.”
“Raw in Bridgeport today- Lookout @HEELZiggler… I got a mean punch, a furious kick, and a cold shoulder!”
Morrison tweeted the following remark on Friday shortly after Stratus’ allegations surfaced online:
“If you don’t have enemies, you don’t have character.”
— David Otunga has launched a Facebook page. He confirmed the page last week on Twitter.
— WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas no-showed the K&S Wrestlefest “Super Saturday” event in Essington, Pennsylvania, in addition to former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro.
— A really badass desktop wallpaper of Triple H from the new WWE All Stars video game has been posted online in various resolutions – check ’em out below:
– WWE Tough Enough will move to it’s permanent timeslot tonight at 8PM (Eastern) on the USA Network, one hour before RAW. John Cena will be featured on tonight’s show, which is titled “Five for Flinching.”
Steve Austin wrote on Twitter over the weekend that Bill DeMott “totally destroys everthing in his path” on tonight’s show.
– Tonight’s episode of WWE RAW takes place from the Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut. As of early Monday afternoon, no matches have been announced yet for the show. With WWE’s next pay-per-view, Extreme Rules, just 3 weeks away, there’s a good chance we’ll find out that show’s RAW brand main event tonight.
The advertised dark match main event will see John Cena and Randy Orton teaming up against WWE champion The Miz and Nexus leader C.M. Punk.
WWE United States Champion Sheamus likely will not be on RAW tonight, as he was overseas in Qatar on Sunday promoting WWE’s upcoming show there. Considering the WWE crews are flying out for Europe later this week, it would be unlikely for them to make him fly back from Qatar to the United States for RAW tonight and then back out to England this week.
Unfortunately for fans of The Rock, he won’t be at RAW tonight, as he’s currently in Brazil promoting his new movie, Fast Five.
– WWE announced on Monday that WrestleMania XXVIII travel packages will go on sale “during the summer months.”
– A number of gossip websites are reporting that former WWE Star Chris Jericho is responsible for the latest reality television romance between former American Idol contestant Pia Toscano and Dancing With The Stars contestant Mark Ballas. Jericho and Toscano are said to be friends and it was Chris Jericho who passed along a note from Ballas to Toscano, which led to their first date last week.
– As we reported yesterday, Shane McMahon appeared at Sunday’s Masters golf tournament and was briefly shown on camera during the broadcast. For those wondering what Shane was doing there, he is currently sits on the Board of Directions for International Sports Management – which represents several top golfers, including Ernie Els and Rory McIlroy.
Check out this picture of Shane McMahon from The Masters:
— It was reported earlier that former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro no-showed the K&S Wrestlefest “Super Saturday” event in Essington, Pennsylvania. She was also scheduled to film a “shoot” interview for Highspots.com.
The former Playboy was in regular contact with event organizers until the week of the show, at which point both of her contact numbers were disconnected. She posted a few messages on her Twitter account yesterday and made no mention of the situation. She did, however, reveal that she is engaged.
— No match at WrestleMania XXVII went over 15 minutes sans Triple H vs. The Undertaker, which lasted approximately 30 minutes. John Cena vs. The Miz went 14 minutes and 43 when it was ruled a draw. The restarted match lasted 35 seconds.
— Goldust celebrates his birthday today as he turns 42 years old. Also celebrating birthdays are WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race (68) and Balls Mahoney (39).
— Scott Hall has made his first public comments since his latest public incident on Friday night. Hall tweeted on Monday @ScottHallNWO:
“At the hospital in New England! Doing good. Thanx for all your well wishes & support! The Bad Guy!”
– WWE Tough Enough contestant Miss USA Rima Fikah told The Detroit Free Press this weekend that she regrets using so much colorful language during last week’s premiere episode. Fikah said:
“I don’t want younger girls to think it’s OK to say bad words. But I do want younger girls to know you have to stand up for yourself.”
– Former WWE NXT Rookie Aksana defeated AJ Lee to become the new FCW Divas Champion at this past Thursday’s WWE developmental tapings in Florida.
– The Rock is scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel on April 19th.That night’s show will also feature that week’s eliminated contestant from ABC’s Dancing With The Stars show – so there’s a chance that Chris Jericho could be appearing on that same show with The Rock, should he be eliminated that week.
– Hulk Hogan tweeted on Monday that former WWE star Chris Jericho will be appearing onNBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday night. Hogan wrote:
“HULKAMANIACS watch Chris Jerhico Wednesday night on the Tonight Show he’s going to tear it up.”
– NFL star and former RAW guest host Ben Roethlisberger tells Pittsburgh’s Post-Gazette.com that is looking for a new place to host his wedding reception after unsuccessfully trying to rent the Consol Energy Center – due to a live WWE event being booked for the venue that same day.
It’s time for a special WRESTLEMANIA-sized edition of the Sound Off, breaking down the biggest show of the year and backstage controversy coming out of the event. Did it live up to expectations? Plus, more on “The New WWE” and Triple H’s role in talent development, thoughts on the Hall of Fame and the debut of Tough Enough, announcing the WM28 main event a year in advance, and finally… Solomonster has some ranting to do on Kurt Angle, “Superschmuck” Billy Graham (oh does he have something to say), Larry Zbyszko and the sad state of affairs that is Scott Hall. This is not an episode you want to miss!
“Superstar” Billy Graham stated in an interview with the Ottawa Sun that he wants out of the WWE Hall of Fame. The former wrestling star, now 67, is demanding he be removed from their list of inductees because he is appalled at the inclusion of Abdullah the Butcher.
“It is a shameless organization to induct a bloodthirsty animal such as Abdullah The Butcher into their worthless and embarrassing Hall of Fame and I want the name of Superstar Billy Graham to be no part of it. WWE and their Hall of Fame is disgustingly embarrassing, I want out,” Graham said.
Graham, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004, sold his ring on eBay two years ago.
Graham is also upset with Jericho, who, in his book, Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps, took issue with comments made by the WWE Hall of Famer following Chris Benoit’s double murder suicide.
“Jericho, you have made a huge mistake. You call me an egotistical idiot. If you walked by right now, I would beat the living hell out of you, then spit on your grave for trying to destroy my reputation in your phony little book,” Graham said.
When contacted for a response, Jericho said: “God bless him and best of luck in all he does in the future.”
– The Hollywood Reporter has posted a review of the latest WWE Studios film That’s What I Am, starring Ed Harris & Amy Madigan, and featuring Randy Orton in a supporting role. Regarding Orton’s big screen debut, THR wrote:
“The film was produced by WWE Studios, which explains the casting of third-generation wrestling personality Orton in a decent acting debut as Carl’s manipulative dad. That this meathead is such an able negotiator, even with someone as sharp as Madigan’s principal, stretches plausibility. Too often, Pavone’s screenplay slaps contemporary perspective onto characters whose behavior doesn’t seem entirely true to their time.”
– John Cena wrote the following on Twitter over the weekend regarding his announced match against The Rock at next year’s WrestleMania:
“CeNation. This is a new year. From 26 to 27 wasn’t exactly a banner year. Which means it time to dominate the whole f+cking game. NEVER GIVE UP. Miz. Id watch yourself if I were you. It may not be tomorrow …but u will NOT defeat me again.”
– WWE reached a milestone on Facebook this weekend – as the company’s official fan page has over 5 million “likes.” Less than 50 companies have that many fans “liking” them on Facebook.
5 million followers .. big friggin’ deal – we’ve got almost 5,000 fans on Facebook! If you are not already a fan of the SEScoops Facebook page,click here and join the SEScoops Facebook revolution!
Top Rope Promotions owner Steve Ricard sent us the following statement regarding the Scott Hall incident on Friday night:
Top Rope Promotions has been holding family oriented wrestling shows for 30 years now, and on our 30th Anniversary event, we brought in one of the biggest names in pro wrestling, Scott Hall (aka Razor Ramon).
We drew a packed house and a good majority of them were there to see Hall. Hall and his people down in FL had all claimed he was clean and good to go. His flight and hotel were pre paid, and his appearance fee was demanded upon arrival at the airport (which he asked for within 3 min of being picked up).
Hall had arrived in a wheel chair with 3 bottles of prescription pills in his posession. Hall had performed an interview with our local newspaper The Herald News around 6 PM on Thursday night, saying how much he was looking forward to coming to the show, and how he was clean. Less then 24 hrs later, he showed up in the state he was in, demanding his appearance fee. Right off the bat, we were in a bad situation.
Having Hall at the building, already pre paid with his appearance fee, hotel, flight, etc. He even harassed my driver in the process. Hall was persistent to appear on the show. His heart was in the right place, unfortunately I can’t say the same about his mind or his body.
Throughout the night he made threats to numerous members of my staff, as well as myself demanding more money, demanding to go to the ring when he wanted to etc. He was also threatening to kill me if I “screwed” him over. I’m 31 years old and I should be in no circumstances, babysitting someone in there 50’s.
Hall made at best, an embarrassing performance in the ring and for the fans who came to see him, trashing matches that were on the show before him and addressing the crowd as if we were in England.
Neither Hall, nor anyone who helped line up the date, or any of his close friends or agents have called to apologize or offer a refund for his “less then stellar” appearance. He showed his true colors and who he was this past Friday night. If he’s upset that we’re airing a stream of this atrocious appearance, maybe he should issue an apology to the fans, the promotion, and the workers of the company. One would only assume that no one that night got what they paid for, myself included.”
— A vignette teasing the arrival of the wrestler formerly known as Awesome Kong aired during tonight’s episode of FCW Wrestling on the Bright House Sports Network in Florida.
The promo was brief and showcased her eyes.
It was reported late last year that she had signed a contract with WWE. The internationally renowned wrestler has not competed since that time.
— Bail Enforcers, starring Trish Stratus, premiered yesterday at the Actionfest Film Festival in Asheville, North Carolina. Edge, as well as Tara of TNA Wrestling, were on hand for the festivities. Edge, who resides in Asheville, was trying to be low key and didn’t seem to want attention. Tara, however, seemed to enjoy the attention she received. The theater was about 40% full and consisted of fans of wrestling and action movies. According to an attendee, the storyline isn’t original and some of the acting is wooden, but the action is decent and Stratus presents herself well. The movie is not for children as the dialog is profane.
Following the premiere, Stratus participated in a Q&A session with the cast and director. She was asked if she garnered heat within WWE for participating in a movie not affiliated with the organization. Status said no, and that WWE had agreed to promote the film.
— Shane McMahon briefly appeared during today’s telecast of the 2011 Masters Golf Tournament on CBS. The former WWE executive and talent was seen congratulating a golfer.
His brief appearance resulted in ‘Shane McMahon’ trending worldwide on Twitter.
— Former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro no-showed yesterday’s K&S Wrestlefest “Super Saturday” event in Essington, Pennsylvania. Event organizers told fans she wasn’t able to make it.
This is not the first time in which the former Playboy model has no-showed a wrestling convention as she bailed on a few bookings shortly after her departure from WWE two years ago. She also no-showed a K&S Wrestlefest event last July.
— Former WWE manager Paul Bearer celebrates his 57th birthday today.
Former WWE creative team member John Piermarini stated in a blog post earlier this year that Vince McMahon believes John Morrison “can’t kick anyone’s ass in a real fight” and therefore won’t achieve the success many have pegged him for.
But that’s not the only criticism being levied towards “The Prince of Parkour” as the Pro Wrestling Torch reports that many people within WWE feel he comes off as if he’s performing in his matches, as opposed to fighting. This holds him back, as does his relationship with Melina and the belief that his promo ability is subpar.
Character aside, it’s been said that McMahon doesn’t respect Morrison as a man. Years ago, he allowed Melina to engage in a sexual relationship with former WWE star Batista while the two were dating. Morrison opted to be professional instead of confrontational and therefore lost brownie points with the WWE CEO.
Trish Stratus appeared on Sirius XM Radio’s Busted Open on Friday and politely buried Morrison by indicating that he wasn’t too smart in his decision making for their match at WrestleMania. She confirmed online reports that he wasn’t interested in listening to her suggestions for their bout, and that when she went to hug him during the post-match celebration, he cold-shouldered her. The feeling is that his unprofessional behavior will set himself back politically since Stratus is highly regarded amongst company personnel.
— WWE originally planned for Triple H to ride a Clydesdale horse to the ring for his match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII. During a test run, the horse fell through the trap door on the WrestleMania stage, with Hunter riding it. The horse was spooked and went wild. Plans for the ring entrance were immediately scrapped.
— Shane McMahon was not on hand for last week’s WrestleMania festivities. Vince and Linda McMahon still see his children, and he still has a good relationship with Stephanie, but the belief is that he has no plans on ever returning to WWE.
The Pro Wrestling Torch speculates that Shane, who was at one point pegged as Vince’s successor, mainly parted ways with the organization last year because he has absolutely no interest in dealing with the corporate politics.
It was announced last August that McMahon had signed a deal to become the new CEO of China Broadband Inc., a provider of cable broadband services, as well as other digital and analog related services, in the Shandong Province of the People’s Republic of China. The company is based in Boulder, Colorado.
— Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Honky Tonk Man mentioned on his Twitter account last Friday that he will be releasing information regarding changes being made to upper management in TNA Wrestling on his “Shake Rattle & Roll” podcast.
He wrote, “Don’t miss Shake, Rattle & Roll this Monday night fans! We have huge breaking news about upper management changes in TNA.”
The podcast airs Monday night at 7:30 p.m. on www.htmradio.com.
— Mickie James battles Rosita on the latest episode of TNA Xplosion. The match is available here. Rosita is accompanied by TNA Knockout Tag Team Champion Sarita, who cuts a promo prior to the match.
— TNA Knockout Tara was on hand for the world premiere of Bail Enforcers yesterday in Ashville, North Carolina, which stars former WWE colleague Trish Stratus.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what JR said about:
The Rock vs. John Cena at WM28:
“No…I do not think that @TheRock vs. @JohnCena should happen before Wrestlemania 28. Let’s put that matter to bed. It isn’t going to happen before WM28 in Miami. As comedian Ron White would say, “Let it go.”
“Love how many crystal ball possessing, wrestling creative valedictorians already know that the long range plan for Rock-Cena isn’t a good idea. For you that have this all figured out, can you also provide me some lead pipe cinch, stock tips or the National Champion of College Football winner for the upcoming season?”
Paul Heyman:
“I guess one should never say never, but I never see @HeymanHustle returning to the pro wrestling world on a full time or regular basis. Never. I get asked this question weekly it seems.”
Wrestling Territories – A Thing Of The Past:
“No…wrestling territories are dead and will likely stay that way. The key to a territories success is getting local, strong TV clearances with a slick produced TV show that airs weekly. That isn’t going to happen. It’s not affordable nor does the majority of fans want to see largely unknown wrestlers. Most investors, who haven’t lost their sanity, would never invest in obtaining TV clearances and upgrading TV production values notwithstanding funding a wrestler payroll. Weekly territories are a thing of the past and will never be seen again to the level that they once were or even close.”
“On the flip side, having viable, successful territories did more to develop main event level talents than any thing ever and nothing that can be created in today’s marketplace will ever supplant that concept. New talents can and will be developed but it will have to be in a much different way than back in the territory days where a different audience could be utilized to watch a gambit of wrestlers evolve and learn their craft. Being able to relocate to a variety of territories with differing creative philosophies and audiences/fans helped many wrestlers become stars. “
– WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote the following about Scott Hall’s recent troubles:
“Didn’t mention scott hall’s recent incident over wk’end. Don’t know any details. Feel bad 4 scott & pray 4 his good health. Really talented.”
– TNA executive Eric Bischoff posted the following on his Facebook page:
“Just watched the video of Scott Hall’s appearance in New England. Wish I knew how to help him. I know that others (including Vince McMahon) have tried recently. He was such an amazing talent, and deep down inside, a great person. His demons are killing him.”
– Kevin Nash also wrote about Scott Hall’s Friday night incident and asked people to support his friend during this tough time:
“Scott is in the hospital up north,I’ll be at the airport when he lands and taking him to my home when he lands. Please don’t judge Scott on what you just saw.He would give any of you a kidney. to the motherf—– that made a joke who would want his kidney lol send me your address and lets see how funny it is. he’s my brother we will get through this. To Scotts fans thank you 4 your love you’re as special as he is”
A representative of Scott Hall told TMZ that he is upset that Top Rope Promotions is using footage of his in-ring incident from Friday night to promote their online pay-per-view event taking place tonight.
“We find the footage to be very distasteful and not suitable for a pay-per-view audience and it’s sad that the promoter has decided to air the uncut footage from the pay-per-view,” representative Geena Jinev Anac said.
A video was posted online of Hall struggling to get into the ring, followed by a promo to purchase the online event.
Hall was hospitalized following an appearance at an independent wrestling show in River Fall, Massachusetts on Friday. He is being treated for cardiac issues and possible complications from the 10 different prescriptions he’s taking.
