I was going to post something from TV on the Radio today, as their new album, Nine Types of Light, is out today (and it’s fantastic—check out my review at Y-Not Radio). But something big happened last night: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Edge made a sudden appearance on Raw to announce his retirement.
After experiencing numbness in his arms, he was checked out by physicians and told he could face paralysis or death if he continued. As much as I’m going to miss Edge, I know he did the best thing, and I’m happy he’s able to retire on top, coming off of a successful title defense at Wrestlemania, the WWE’s flagship event.
Still, a wrestler I’ve enjoyed and admired for over a decade is hanging it up, so in honor of him, today’s song is his most recent theme music, “Metalingus” by Alter Bridge.
