Wrestling is one of the sports where many many legends are held responsible for the development of the promotion.

However, retirements can come anytime, when it comes to wrestling. The following are the Top 5 WWE Superstars who have done more than enough in the ring, and deserve a heartful retirement before getting out of shape. This list only features some elder wrestlers, and will not include the wrestlers dealing with injuries.

#5 Big Show

Big Show has been more than just a successful wrestler

When we talk about giant wrestlers, we always remember the World's Largest Athlete, the Big Show. Big Show is one of the wrestlers who are great as both heels, as well as babyfaces.

Big Show debuted back in the year 1995 in WCW as The Giant. Since then, he's been one of the greatest superstars WWE has ever produced.

He's seven feet tall, 400 pounder man, who is currently 46 years old. When one is such a giant man, the age surely matters.

Currently, he works for the RAW brand and his last appearance in a wrestling match was at the 4th September's episode of RAW, where he battled Braun Strowman.

Big Show will surely be considered as a legend in the WWE. However, his age may force him to retire as soon as in the latter half of this year.

He also suffered injuries, which may act as catalysts in ending his wrestling career.

#4 The Undertaker

Undertaker is arguably the greatest WWE superstar of all time

The Undertaker is one of the most famous wrestlers to ever step into the WWE. He has been working in the company since 1984 and still wrestles for at least one match per year. He is best remembered for his WrestleMania Streak and his legendary move set.

Undertaker is currently 53 years old, and wrestling at this age is not easy at all. However, his body cannot be risked anymore, as any injuries at this age can be fatal. Back in his time, he has been a great all-round performer. He is considered one of the best pure strikers in the WWE and is one of the most respected superstars in the company.

Every year there are rumors of his retirement, but it never happened till now. It's probable that he won't wrestle for more than two years now.

This is the best time for his retirement, as he has sacrificed his whole life to maintain his in-ring gimmick. Now, he must aim to enjoy his life, leaving his wrestling career behind.

#3 Kane

Kane is one of the most feared wrestlers of all time

When we remember Undertaker, Kane automatically enters our thoughts. Kane has worked in the WWE as The Undertaker's fictional brother. He is awesome when it comes to delivering fearful promos and instances. Moreover, Kane has won more championships in the WWE than The Undertaker.

Kane is a 7 footer, 300 pounder man who has done it all for the WWE. His debut came back in the year 1992, so it's been 26 years since the Big Red Machine is working for the WWE.

His moves set was completely inspired by the Undertaker's move set, but Kane made his own respect later on in his career.

He is best known for his rivalry against Undertaker and his outstanding Royal Rumble Match record.

As of now, Kane contested for the Mayor elections and won the elections for the primary mayoral seat.

This may force him to quit wrestling, and concentrate on his political career. Since his debut, Kane has done pretty more than everything for the WWE, and it may be the time for his retirement.

#2 Shane McMahon

Shane McMahon is the Commissioner of SmackDown LIVE

Shane McMahon is currently the Commissioner of SmackDown LIVE, and also works as a part-time wrestler. He is the son of the Chairman of WWE, Vince McMahon. He is known for his high-risk manoeuvres and fearlessness.

Shane returned to the WWE in 2016 and became the Commissioner of SmackDown LIVE in the latter half of the same year.

When he returned, all the fans expected him to be just an authority figure, rather than a professional wrestler because of his age. He is a 48-year-old man, who still performs risky moves like the top rope Shooting Star Press.

However, at this age, it's not suitable for anyone to wrestle at the age of 48. He debuted in 1989, so he has worked as a wrestler for a sufficient time. He has a family to take care of, so he must try to avoid wrestling. His career as an authority figure can go on even without wrestling.

#1 Triple H

Triple H is still in an admirable shape

Triple H is one of the most popular wrestlers to ever work for the WWE. Triple H deserves a major share in making the WWE as great as it is today. He can still put on longer matches and be a great wrestler.

Triple H debuted in the WWE, in 1992 as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and is currently 48 years old. The fans might not see it coming, but Triple H may retire anytime soon, as he has many more responsibilities as a professional wrestling businessman.

He works as the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative, so he doesn't get enough time to wrestle. At the same time, he is ageing fast, so the retirement may come sooner than later.

None of the fans will want Triple H to retire, but he can't wrestle much due to his busy schedule and age. Triple H may retire soon, if he wants to.
