He was extremely emotional. No way its a storyline. If it is, it may go down as the greatest storyline ever but he is talking on ESPN today so I doubt it. The word is its the WWE doctors that won't clear him and they wouldn't release him so he retired. They basically froze his contract. It will be interesting to see what he does because I never think its a wrestlers last match. He wants to wrestle again so if it ever becomes possible. He is going to do it. He is probably the greatest over achiever in WWE history with Mick Foley. Vince did not back him in any way and he kept fighting. I respect the hell out of him. You can tell he was just a wrestling nerd that happened to be able to do what he loved and became a superstar. He lived his dream.
