Many argue that he should have retired after he finished his run with TNA, but he probably felt that he still had one last run left in him and a lot of younger, newer talent to face. He was a part of some seriously fun matches, but most of them sadly proved that he's a man who's far past his prime and can't really hang with the young guns of today.

It's alright because his legacy will always stay strong in WWE. It's not that they didn't medically clear him, but it's possible that they had a big hand in this decision.
