10 Worst Ever Wrestling Retirements

10. Goldberg (WCW Sin)

In WCW's insane latter days, the concept of a stipulation being adhered to was unthinkable, but of all the possible angles to see full fruition, Bill Goldberg's storyline retirement actually stuck for real.

After a catastrophic heel turn and idiotic worked shoot babyface turn in the summer months of 2000, Goldberg became the sworn enemy of token villain authority figure Vince Russo.

Russo issued an ultimatum to big Bill - Lose, and you're gone. Challenging him to replicate his famed undefeated streak from less than two years ago when he was the biggest star in the industry, the lesser of two Vinces stumbled into a good idea for a change.

Goldberg was winning again and winning well, with a slim chance his aura may return as 2001 approached.

Then he lost to Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger and was forced out of the company forever.

The underwhelming end came during a lousy tag team match at January 2001's Sin pay-per-view, pitting the 'Totally Buffed' muscle-heads against Goldberg and his WCW 'Power Plant' trainer Sarge DeWayne Bruce.

Maced in the face by a planted fan, Goldberg was hammered with a steel chair by Lex before Bagwell hit his Blockbuster from Luger's shoulders for the victory.

In real life, Bill needed shoulder surgery, but before he could return, WCW folded. It ended up his actual WCW swansong.
