5 WWE Superstars who lost their jobs in a retirement match

#4 Kevin Nash vs Hulk Hogan (WCW Road Wild 1999)

While WWE was reaching new heights of popularity in 1999, WCW was producing some underwhelming television. The nWo's run as the hottest act in the industry had fizzled out, and Goldberg's appeal had diminished following his loss at Starrcade 1998.

Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash, two cornerstones of the nWo, wrestled each other for the first time since the Fingerpoke of Doom in a retirement match at Road Wild 1999. Hogan, performing in his signature red and yellow, sent Nash packing after a classic comeback.

In typical WCW fashion, Nash returned after a few weeks as a member of the new nWo.

#3 Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker (WWE WrestleMania 26)

At WrestleMania 25, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker stole the show with one of the greatest matches in WWE history. Michaels succumbed to defeat and was determined to end The Streak the following year. He was ultimately forced to put his career on the line to earn another crack at The Deadman.

The Undertaker emerged victorious yet again after an epic tussle, sending Michaels into retirement. The Heartbreak Kid tried to stay true to his word and even turned down offers to wrestle the likes of AJ Styles and Bryan Danielson. However, he was eventually enticed to return to the ring and partner Triple H in a tag-team match against The Brothers of Destruction.
