Ric Flair. Hes my favorite all time wrestler and one of the best ever. I want to remember him as a 16 time world champ, not some sidekick to HHH

Hulk Hogan. He has nothing left to prove. Beating McMahon should have been his final match. Even though i think he is one of the worst in regards to in ring talent, he helped make wrestling mainstream

Terry Funk. How many times can you see him in hardcore matches.

Scott Hall. Too many legal troubles from being on the road too much

Dusty Rhoades. Another legend but looks bloated and totally out of shape, Worse than he looked in the 80's

HBK Shawn Michaels. Hes not the showstopper any more

The big show. Need I say more?

-Ric Flair- His legacy is already getting tarnished. He needs to be comfortable in the managers role. He is more valuable in this role that any other wrestling role now. The locker room would benefit and even Triple H will benefit in the longrun. Plus when Randy Orton and Dave Batista return, they will benefit.

-Hulk Hogan- If your only purpose is too make the boss look good, something's wrong. Besides, he is WAY past his prime. Unlike Flair, he has not had a halfway decent match in many years. Putting over Rocky last year and Goldberg in 1998 don't count.

-Undertaker- He should've hung it up after the biker gimmick was considered a failure. He is also way past his prime. Even at his peak as the "Dead Man", his good matches were scarce. His classic is considered by many to be the "Hell in the Cell" with Mankind. All 'Taker basically had to do was show up. I can't recall offhand more than 10 matches with him that I would consider above average. He just became another big man who doesn't sell for anyone.

-Shawn Michaels- Could possibly hang on for a little while longer. Only if he starts putting over some guys. As great as his match with Jericho was, there is no reason whatsoever why HBK should've went over. He has shown some glimpses of his past greatness, but he will never again come close to his original form.

-Jerry Lawler- He really serves no purpose at all anymore. His wrestling is horrible beyond description now. His announcing is 10 years past it's expiration date. The "horny old man" act is very played out. Although it is probably not an act anymore. He is old and horny. And boring.

hmm....The only one I don't agree with here is HBK. He still has proved he can have a good match. Though he should be putting over anyone and everyone WWE throws at him. He is lucky to still be on TV.

No matter how much you polish, decorate or dress up a turd...it's still a turd.

He has to fight Stone Cold, hopefully at WMXX. I even want to see what they would do in that match.

Undertaker- He should've hung it up after the biker gimmick was considered a failure.


It's not really a failure, just listen to the pops that he gets. I agree with the never putting anyone over reaosn though.

Al Snow....it's not that i don't like him, but he just doesn't have it. he should just stick to training. i hate when theres an Al Snow match on.


He's one of the only talented wrestlers left on RAW. If they gave him a rivalry he could actually be exciting.....but it looks like he will always be "The guy from Tough Enough"

I look at what Ric Flair is doing now and compare it to what Terry Funk did in the early 90s. He comes in and uses his mic skills and charisma to turn young stars into Superstars. He did it with Orton. He did it with Batista. Hes doing it right now with guys like Lethal, Kazarian, and Beer Money. I dont have a problem with an old legend giving back to the business and helping make sure there are stars left for the business to continue.

Hogan should never throw a wrestling punch again. Not only does he NOT put over the younger guys, but he doesnt have the ability to even if he wanted to. Its not his fault, but his body is completely broken down. He needs to just stop.

Undertaker also should retire. Its sickening how the fucking guy conmes in for a few weeks, works a huge PPV like Mania or Survivor Series, then dissapears for another 3 months. Hes not helping to put over anybody. His role in the company is just to sell merchandise to the faggotty goth fans and collect a huge paycheck every 3 months. Fuck him.

Raven just doesnt have it anymore. Its a shaame, he had one of the best looks for a wrestler ever, now he just looks like dogshit. His hair, his face paint, it all just seems so lame.

I understand Mick Foley is trying to do the same thing as Flair, make the younger guys. I wont fault him but hes also doing so with a very limited skill set anymore.

100% agreed on the Undertaker...

Are they still doing that awful gimmick with Kane on SD?

Undertaker needs to go.

I don't think Hogan will ever activity wrestle again after that last surgery but even still his worked punches to Nash were painful.

Flairs street fight with Lethal was vintage Flair! It was more of a comedy sketch then a match and I will probably never forget it.

I would accept one more run from HHH then a nice retirement

Hogan I'm pretty sure is retired. Flair doesn't need to wrestle anymore. Nash I don't mind, he still draws. Sting really can't wrestle like he used to and I'm pretty sure he's only over with that Orlando crowd and Dixie Carter. I don't know if anyone will ever reach that status and awe the Undertaker has. It's still the greatest gimmick ever to come out of wrestling, in my opinion. I don't think he needs to pass the torch to anyone at Wrestle Mania unless he finds someone that's truly worth it and can take the ball and run with the momentum that legendary match could give him. Kane has proven to me with this recent title run and avenging brother storyline he can still go. Also, like Nash, still a draw.

The thing is with all these guys we say need to retire, I still want them around to show these new guys what it takes to get over.
