4 WWE legends who may retire soon

WWE has been around for a long time now and it has achieved tremendous success in all that time. Much of the credit goes to the performers, who put their body through constant pain and suffering.

WWE has had many superstars who built up their legacy to such an extent that they have been labelled as legends. Many of them are still active performers for the company.

However, time catches up with all of us, and it's only a matter of time before they hang up their boots. In this article, we take a look at 4 WWE legends who could be retiring soon.

#1 The Undertaker

The Undertaker has been a WWE mainstay for over 20 years. In a career that long, he has gone through some slight gimmick alterations. But sadly, the one thing a gimmick alteration can't change is the age of a superstar.

Taker has had some classics that were both critically and commercially acclaimed. But now, he has slowed down considerably, thanks to the toll taken on his body by years of hustle.

This isn't a knock on Mark Calaway, the man behind the gimmick, but a concern. The Deadman has put himself through enough to entertain the fans. It is high time he rests in peace and enjoys the fruits of his labour.

#2 Kane

From one deranged kayfabe brother to another, Kane is another legend to make an indelible mark in the pro-wrestling history books. Bursting onto the scene as the wronged brother of The Deadman, Kane got one of the most explosive debuts in WWE history.

Since then, he has carved out a niche for himself. He has become a reliable in-ring worker, one of the safest guys to wrestle, and a through and through company man. He has been a perfect brand ambassador for the WWE, with no scandal or backstage beefs ever heard of.

Along with his age, he has slowed down considerably. His victory in the Knox County Mayoral elections has also pushed him a bit away from an active performing role. While he'll be in The Undertaker's corner at WWE SSD, it's unlikely he'll stay, given his political responsibilities.

It's only a matter of time before he joins his brother to ride off into the sunset.

#3 Big Show

Paul Wight, better known as Big Show has been a force to be reckoned with since his WCW days. When he signed with WWE, he was pushed as a monster heel. Able to move at a speed frightening and astonishing for a man his size, Show became a hit commodity.

Illogical and indecisive booking diminished his star greatly. His over-eating also didn't help matters. The chants of 'please retire' became common-place. A blessing came in the guise of an injury, as Show started getting back in shape. The above picture shows just how much work The Giant has put in.

Show has stated a few times that his curtain call is near. Lets hope we get one last good run from The Giant.

#4 John Cena

Ever since his debut in 2002, John Cena has been The GUY for the WWE. Described by everyone as the most hardworking superstar in the back, Cena tried to don as many hats as possible.

Now a big movie star, Cena has considerably lightened his WWE schedule. Now appearing for sporadic events, Cena has become a special attraction. It also doesn't help matters that he is 40 years of age. With his Hollywood career taking off, the chances of him risking his body has reduced drastically.

It may not be very soon, but when The Champ hangs up his weathered wrestling boots for good, it would be a sad day in the entire wrestling fraternity when it happens.
