12 Wrestlers Who Hung On Way Too Long

By Andrew Soucek /

7. The Big Show

Unlike others on this list, Big Show is the only wrestler to actively receive €œPlease retire!€ chants on a regular basis. He can still put on decent big man matches now and then, but it€™s beyond time to call it a career. The thing is, it€™s not all Show€™s fault. Had he debuted in the 80s, he wouldn€™t be so painfully overexposed by now. If you add up his televised WWE and WCW matches, we€™ve seen the big guy wrestle over 900 matches! There is nothing more he cay say, there€™s nothing more he can do. And we€™ve seen him turn so many times it€™s become one of wrestling's longest running jokes. The other resident giant on the roster, Kane, might want to think about opening up that portal to hell soon and going in there to retire. But, he€™s still competing at a higher level than Show (despite being five years older), and has proven that he€™s naturally funnier and more entertaining. Still, if both guys stopped showing up on Raw every single week, the show would would immediately feel fresher. It€™s a fact of life, that giant men don€™t age well physically, and Show has taken enough beatings for 10 lifetimes. Let's let him rest. When He Should Have Hung Up The Tights: Let€™s just say today. He fights Braun Strowman, puts over the massive bodybuilder, and he can take over the reins as the new giant of the company. Or call up Finn Balor or Samoa Joe, and have them beat him in 10 seconds and create a new star. Either way sounds good.
