Who on the roster do you think will try to wrestle forever?

[Burst]

By 'wrestle forever', I mean in the sense of guys like Honky Tonk and many of the ECW guys who'll show up at indies and tiny shows either just for the paycheck or because they just can't get away from wrestling. Alternatively, two words, Kurt Angle.

I can definitely see Cena being the sort to be unwilling to retire and move on like HBK, Edge, and Stone Cold more or less have. For someone who's been on top for so long and who's ostensibly the workaholic that he is, I pretty much see him having to be dragged out of the WWE kicking and screaming if it even gets to that point.

Also, a few years ago, I would have said that Chris Jericho looked to be one of the wrestlers better off in terms of building up a life outside of wrestling, but I dunno, something about his diminishing returns lately make me wonder if it's either just mid-life crisis Jericho or if he'll be trying to show up for nostalgia pops well after the fact.

I could see Ziggler doing it.

Truth has a decent set up in music for him to go into once he's done in the ring. As he talks about on his 'Table for 3' episode

I could see Samoa Joe being one of those guys that wrestles until he is physically incapable of continuing. He just gives off the vibe of someone that truly loves being a pro wrestler regardless of where he is on the card.

He's a bit too old to tear up the rap game right about now, his style's also far different than not only what's out today but even the greats of today, he just wouldn't work. I can see him doing shows here and there though and mostly live through touring.

What exactly did he say in Table for 3?

from memory he mainly talked about how he's now released an album, and said that outside of wrestling his biggest goal is to perform one of his songs at Wrestlemania.

I wouldn't mind this. If WWE has to make some kind of mini concert at WrestleMania, I'd rather it be wrestlers/wrestling personalities who actually dabble in music rather than bringing in "multi platinum recording artists".

Oh well if that's the case then yeah he could easily do that, probably next year if he wanted too. No problem with that.

Ryback is totally going to be that guy headlining high school gyms at age 50 wearing a t-shirt over his faded old gear and sporting crappy midlife crisis tattoos.

And I can see him cross promoting forever. Also, I think he's a damn fine wrestler and will be able to go for a long time.

i hate to say it (and see it) but Sting. no matter how gassed he gets.

Kofi will probably return to his Boom Boom gimmick and do it for like 20 years on the indies.

To be fair, two of the guys you listed were physically forced into retirement. I could definitely see Edge still taking up a main event slot today if his health allowed it.

This is one of the funniest burials of a wrestler I've seen in a while.

I thought about him to.

I could see him as a pathetic bitter old man rambling about how he was burried all his life in spite of being the best ever and brag about the athleticism he once had.
