WWE Super ShowDown 2019 was yet another example of why old-timers need to take a backseat and they need to take it as soon as possible. In case you're not aware, let's sum it up - the main event of Super ShowDown saw Goldberg take on The Undertaker in a first-time-ever dream match".
As fans already knew, the dream match was around 10-15 years too late. What we got was two old men way past their prime seemingly wrestling for a good payday. But the reality is that it was painful to watch.
The Undertaker has been someone who should have been retired five years ago. He did retire two years ago but that's officially gone down the drain. Now he just wrestles at the Saudi Arabia events for a good payday.
Since he's obviously not going to retire as yet, we won't be including him on this list. However, there are a few legends who won't be allowed to get in a WWE ring and compete again and Vince McMahon will make sure of it. Here are the four names:
#4. Goldust/Dustin Rhodes
Dustin Rhodes, aka Goldust, personally requested for his release from WWE so he could go and be a part of All Elite Wrestling. In the first event Double or Nothing, he showed a fire like never before, bringing it to his half-brother Cody Rhodes and having the best match of his career (and Cody's as well).
His post-match interactions saw him take many jabs at WWE, stating that many superstars from the company texted him about it and that WWE feels like a jail of sorts. With Dustin Rhodes now being a part of AEW, it's unlikely that Vince McMahon will ever allow him to wrestle again in WWE.
#3. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho may have burned a bridge with WWE without realizing it (either that, or he didn't really care about it). From the time that Jericho showed up at NJPW in 2017, it seemed as though he has little to no interest in going back to WWE.
The last we saw of him was a brief clip on RAW 25, but since then, Jericho has undergone a huge change. Not only has he been involved in back-to-back Wrestle Kingdom co-main events against Kenny Omega and Tetsuya Naito respectively, but he's signed with All Elite Wrestling and is set to be a central figure of the promotion, being the first of two to compete for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.
Moreover, the Jon Moxley podcast may have been a death sentence for Jericho in WWE as it was essentially a tirade against the company. Vince McMahon may never allow him to wrestle in WWE again.
#2. Goldberg
When Goldberg returned for one last run in 2016, it was nothing short of magical. Fans were happy to see Goldberg back, he was the inspiring family man who wanted to show his son a part of his "superhero" days and he successfully won another World Championship.
His farewell at WrestleMania 33 was fantastic as well, as he and Brock Lesnar got their redemption for their WrestleMania 20 stinker match 13 years later. However, that should have been the end of that. With Goldberg going back out of the spotlight, people naturally assumed that it was the last of him, even considering the fact that he said "never say never" on the RAW after WrestleMania 33.
However, WWE Super ShowDown was a harsh reminder for not just fans but WWE on why he shouldn't be wrestling again. Apart from just busting himself after banging his head on the door, he got concussed during the match and collapsed outside the ring.
With his performance and the entire incident, it's safe to say that Vince McMahon will never approach Goldberg to wrestle for WWE again.
#1. Kurt Angle
WrestleMania 35 saw Kurt Angle say farewell to wrestling and his in-ring career as he took on Baron Corbin and was defeated by him. While it wasn't the ending that fans were hoping for, Angle's end as an in-ring performer was inevitable.
Whenever he did wrestle after 2017, it was evident that he was only a shell of his former self. Still, nostalgia was what prevented fans from really wanting to see Angle to retire. After all, there were still a few dream matches left.
Sadly, the reality of it all saw many of those matches unfulfilled, but that's just the way things go. Knowing all of this, it's likely that Vince McMahon sat Angle down and told him that WrestleMania 35 would be his farewell match. Out of respect, Angle would have agreed and both he and McMahon know that his days as a competitor in WWE are over.
