7. The Big Show
Unlike others on this list, Big Show is the only wrestler to actively receive Please retire! chants on a regular basis. He can still put on decent big man matches now and then, but its beyond time to call it a career. The thing is, its not all Shows fault. Had he debuted in the 80s, he wouldnt be so painfully overexposed by now. If you add up his televised WWE and WCW matches, weve seen the big guy wrestle over 900 matches! There is nothing more he cay say, theres nothing more he can do. And weve seen him turn so many times its 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, hes still competing at a higher level than Show (despite being five years older), and has proven that hes naturally funnier and more entertaining. Still, if both guys stopped showing up on Raw every single week, the show would would immediately feel fresher. Its a fact of life, that giant men dont 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: Lets 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.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
