There's nothing quite as sad as watching your hero when they're past their prime. I've seen sportsmen who have hung on too long trying to get a game, I've seen actors whose star has long since diminished try to convince themselves that they can still cut it and I'm sure we all know people in places of work who should take the gold watch and retire gracefully. But they don't. And we either feel embarrassed, sad or shrug our shoulders and say "It's their life! They'll die doing their job!" Over the course of these pages we're going to look at wrestlers who just can't seem to ever hang the tights up and why this is the case (including some not so old wrestlers!). Hopefully we're not embarrassed by them. Hopefully we don't feel (too) sad for them. And hopefully none of them will die doing their job (or a job, I suppose!)
I am a teacher, but also write about all things wrestling. I have been writing/interviewing wrestling personalities for over 7 years for both the Wrestling Observer site, as well as The History Of WWE site.
