A career retrospective, like a greatest hits, is generally something carried out either at the tail end of an interesting career or when things are about to change fairly radically: either way, when its time to put a full stop to the sentence and consider moving on. In compiling a short summary of the best moments and matches in the career of a WWE superstar, its important to establish a few ground rules or thered be forty entries, each one around the length of a good sized novella. This article discounts wrestlers who may be in their prime right now, like Brock Lesnar or Seth Rollins, choosing to also leave aside ace performers currently on the roster who are very likely to have some of their best work ahead of them, like Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler or any of the NXT standouts. There are others that could be on this list, of course: Stone Cold Steve Austin and Edge, for example: did their career-ending injuries force them into retirement in their prime? Theres an argument to say that John Cena is now settling into graceful middle age as a WWE performer maybe the time is right for a look back at his career. Has Kurt Angle delivered the best of his work in WWF/E or in TNA? There are easily cases to be made for Owen Hart, Andre The Giant, even Hulk Hogan. Those are stories for another article.
