These wrestlers become our ideals, heroes and we grow up admiring them.

However, like any other sport, pro-wrestling also has a certain age limit and restriction beyond which people cannot compete anymore. Our beloved wrestlers too, succumb to injuries and undergoes several complications and one fine day, they too pack their boots. Seeing them leave is the hardest pain any wrestling fans will go through.
Below are five such players in the WWE, who will wet the eyes of the entire WWE Universe, once they leave the pro-wrestling industry.
#5 Big Show
The Big Show is a veteran in the WWE and is one of the few 'giants' that the WWE Universe has ever witnessed. He has been with WWE for a long span of time. Throughout his career, Show has won several Championships and awards. He is a former WWE Champion, ECW Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, Hardcore Champion, Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion and Tag Team Champion. He is also the winner of 2015 Andre the Giant memorial battle royal and 24th Triple Crown and 12th Grand Slam Champion in the WWE. Besides, he is also a five-time recipient of the WWE Slammy Awards.
Big Show is 46 years old now and he is not getting any younger. He has gifted us some of the best matches ever on World Wrestling Entertainment. Currently, he serves as a part-time wrestler on RAW and is no more the giant he used to be in his initial days. His wrestling skills have fallen and do not possess the stamina anymore. He is likely to retire soon, and it will be heart-wrenching for the entire WWE Universe. However, it would be appropriate to give one last title match, before he officially decides to retire.
#4 Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho is arguably the most talented individual to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle. Jericho is the first ever Undisputed WWF Champion. He won the World Championship a total of six times. He is also a former Tag Team, United States, Hardcore and European Champion. He is probably the best Intercontinental Champion ever and won it a record number of 9 times. Jericho headlined several PPV's and main event several shows.
His performance in WWE is unforgettable. Whether it is 'Raw is Jericho' or 'The list of Jericho' or his flashing jackets, he always knew how to connect with the audiences. His entrance and comebacks were outstanding and thus he is truly inspirational. We hope Jericho provides us with some more entertainment before he finally chooses to depart from WWE.
#3 Brock Lesnar
The "Beast Incarnate" is the current Universal Champion and is the longest reigning world champion in WWE over the last 25 years. He is a fighting machine and does not stops until he annihilates his opponents. Lesnar has several rivalries to his credits and is an excellent brawler. He currently competes as a part-timer as he is also signed with UFC.
Lesnar has been in WWE for a long span of time. He left once in 2004 but came back again. He is one of the best wrestlers in both the PG as well as in the Attitude Era. A brawler like it comes once in a lifetime, and once he leaves, WWE would change forever. We hope he keeps fighting for at least a couple of years more still.
#2 Randy Orton
Randy Orton is thirteen times World Champion in WWE and is the last World Heavyweight Champion in WWE. He is one of the best heels the world has ever seen. Whether it was his stint with 'Legacy' or as a 'legend killer' he never fails to entertain us. His rivalry with John Cena and Triple H is perhaps the best rivalry in the last decade. However, it is unlikely that he will be competing for much longer.
He underwent several surgeries and treatments. The Viper that we see today no more carries the spark when he was the youngest World Champion of WWE. Losing to Jinder Mahal was a major setback in his career. It will be difficult though for the WWE Universe to bid him goodbye when he departs.
#1 John Cena
John Cena is a living legend. He has fought almost all top-level Superstars and is one of the best Champion ever. He is sixteen times World Champion and holds the record for most number of times being a world champion (along with Ric Flair). Cena alone can sell arenas and he is the poster boy of WWE for a long time.
No wrestler can deliver promos like the way Cena does. Each and every night Cena tries to pull off something extraordinary for the WWE Universe. He pours his heart out and thus many hearts will break around the globe when this individual finally calls it a day. Wrestlers will come and go, but there will never be another John Cena.
