Hulk Hogan had ample time and opportunities to retire, but the mustachioed superstar has been known to be quite an egotistical and controlling person. This is probably why he only ended his in-ring career in 2012, a decade later than he should have done.

'The Hulkster's' return to WWE in 2002 should have concluded his career, after finding a second life as part of the NWO in WCW throughout the late 90s. This comeback lead to a showdown with the most charismatic man in wrestling and Attitude Era megastar, The Rock at WrestleMania 18.

The Rock versus 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan is perhaps the most anticipated wrestling match of all time as the two biggest stars of their generation faced off in what should have been the latter's last match. Instead, Hogan would win the WWE Championship a month later and appeared on and off in the company for the next few years, continuing to politic and cause drama backstage.

Terry Bollea is one of the most controversial figures in wrestling history, which in no small part contributed to the lackluster end to his undoubtedly important career.
