8 Wrestlers Who Quit On Top

The most recent example on this list is up in the air somewhat. Who knows when we'll see Becky Lynch again? Though the Irish Lass-kicker didn't formally announce her retirement, there's no guarantee that she'll waltz back into the ring any time soon after becoming a mother.

And nor does she need to. Becky's emotional announcement on Raw was the apex of a career in which she has nothing left to prove. Not only was she the unassailable champion of the red brand, but twelve months prior had made legitimate professional wrestling history in becoming the first woman to close WrestleMania as the promotion's top star. If this is the end, Lynch walks away knowing she left the industry in a better place for all the women who follow in her footsteps.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
