8 WWE superstars who spoiled their legacy by coming out of retirement

Terry Funk

Terry Funk is still a legend and he is still respected around the wrestling business. Terry, however, didn’t really know when to retire. His first retirement came back in 1983 and the age of 39. Thirty years later, Funk was still taking up independent bookings.

Funk’s efforts in the ring slowed down as his age went up and he was nowhere near the man he used to be. However, his return from retirement helped get ECW in the map and apart from that, Funk did not have many lasting memories. The latest match of Funk came in December last year and once again; the match was doing no good for the impressive legacy that he built up during his prime.

After being a main event superstar in the WWE throughout the mid-2000s, Batista took a hiatus from the company back in 2010. Batista pointed out creative differences as the reason for his departure and said that he is not going to return to the company anytime soon.

The definition of ‘anytime’ in Batista’s dictionary is probably three years as he came back to WWE in 2013. WWE, assuming that he still had the star power, made him win the next year’s Royal Rumble.

This sparked off an array of reactions throughout the wrestling business and Batista ended up being one of the hottest troll topics. He took another hiatus from the company just months later and is rumored to be done with the business.
