AJ Lee was a shock for me if she hadn't been retired she would have done so well with the women's roster Imagine if Sasha Banks vs AJ Lee, Bayley vs AJ Lee, Charlotte Flair vs AJ Lee, Alexa Bliss vs AJ Lee, Bianca Belair vs AJ Lee. Man I wish she didn't retire I hope she returns at the Royal Rumble

JBL didn't retire, "Way too soon." There's no doubt he still had good work left in him, but he felt he was at the point where his *best* work was behind him and wanted to end it on a high note. Whatever regrets he has about missed dream matches or possible storylines, I'm sure they're outweighed by the satisfaction of retiring on his own terms instead of a doctor's, and not having any residual shame or anger about disappointing, awkward matches like Taker's with Goldberg, Lesnar and Reigns. He's a deserving member of the Hall of Fame and he knows he belongs there.

@jonacheson Жыл бұрын

Abyss had nearly a 25 year career, and he was not kind to his body. He worked a hard physical style, and he took a ton of hits and abuse, getting frequently busted open or lacerated. That's a case where it's amazing that he was able to stay on as long as he did. I credit that in part to his transition from the Abyss character to Joseph Parks in the mid-2010s, as it kept him out of deathmatches a lot more.

@knightmare_edits Жыл бұрын

And by that, you believe that he's top-tier talent? What an utterly ridiculous assumption. By breaking his body after every match? Please. I love how people like you always drool over your "indy darlings". You people have ruined WWE.

No doubt that Owen Hart was a great wrestler and may he rest in peace but I’m always gonna blame him for shortening Stone Cold’s career.

Look up Masahiro Chono, whose neck was broken by... Steve Austin, by... literally same move that injured him later. Seriously. It's almost as if botches happen and in this case, if you want to blame someone, blame karma.

You're never too young. It's easy to just think people's lives are just what you see on TV. You don't see the behind the scenes stuff. Always travelling, away from family, wanting to start a family, being told what you can and can't do with your own life, schedules also include matches not televised, appearances, guest spots etc.... you're basically travelling around in a 24/7 circus with barely enough personal time or space. Some adapt, some love it, but for some, it's a lot of pressure and sacrifice mentally.

Hbk, in my opinion, shouldn't have retired. The matches he could've had in the early 2010s with the likes of Doloh Ziggler, CM Punk. Daniel Bryan, etc would've been amazing. And then they could have featured the DX vs Brothers of Destruction match like 5-8 years prior to their 2018 awful match when all of them were in better shape. I respect his decision. Just disagree with it.

I've been a solid Eve Torres fan since the dark (yet somehow, memorable and poignant) days of the divas division. Her heel reign was remarkable and I myself was saddened when she left, especially at her prime. I respected her reasons for doing so but damn, 10 years on and I still imagine sometimes how she would have fit in well with the roster if she had stayed.

@scottgordin9709 Жыл бұрын

Some of these early retirements did kinda suck as a big fan of wrestling, but ya gotta know when to say when as their bodies to take a huge beating over time. Some of them I couldn't wait for as their in ring game wasn't really that good to begin with.

I didn't believe it when I saw the headlines that AJ retired right after her match after Wrestlemania, I am happy that she was able to leave while on top of the division and ultimately her tweets to Stephanie made it so the women after her got the spotlights they deserved. Permanent damage to her spine may make it hard for her to come back but if done right I see a return. Eve Torres as well, carrying the divas division in 2012 she did such a good job. I'd love to see them both return.
