8 WWE Stars Who Should Consider Retiring In 2015

When age and injuries take their toll, even the toughest wrestlers have to walk away.

The term "retire" in wrestling usually leads people to wonder if the wrestler really is retiring. There have been so many instances of guys saying they were retiring only to return soon after. Mick Foley was a great example of that in WWE because he retired in 2000 in a PPV main event only to return at the next PPV main event, which happened to be WrestleMania 2000. Guys like Terry Funk and Ric Flair retired so many times in their lives that it became a running joke. When looking at the current WWE roster, there are a number of wrestlers that are in their 40s that are at a point in their careers where they seriously have to consider the idea of calling it quits. That's a hard thing for a lot of wrestlers to do because being a pro wrestler is all they've known for their adult life, but everybody has to stop at some point. There are two guys in their mid-40s that were in WWE recently, but are currently gone. They are Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam. Both of them are in tremendous shape, so it seems unlikely that either would call it quits next year. Plus, when you work a lighter schedule it's much easier on the body. Batista's another name that comes to mind although movie commitments are keeping him away and technically he "quit" WWE, so for now he'll be off this listing. With just over three months left in 2014, it's time to look ahead to 2015 and think about what WWE superstars might retire for good next year. Some of them are full timers we see on TV nearly every week. Others are part timers. All of them are probably WWE Hall of Famers unless they do something stupid to prevent that from happening. Here's a look at eight big names (seven of whom are former WWE or World Champions) who should consider calling it a career in 2015.
