Let's face it folks, there are a lot of WWE superstars... great superstars... who are coming up on the end of their careers. We all know that there are more than five WWE Superstars right now that are due to wrestle their last matches any given month. Everyone from good old grandpa Undertaker, to the seemingly youthful Christian are prepared to hang up their boots for the last time, any given match. So, with all that in mind, which close-to-retired WWE Superstar would you most prefer to see hold the title once more before they retire?
Me personally, I'm pulling for one last Rey Mysterio WWE title reign. I haven't always been an enormous Rey fan, at times I've felt as though I could live without him, but at the end of the day, this man deserves respect. Looking back, it occurs to me that Rey CAN carry a brand, as he does earn the WWE more money in merchandise than anyone except for Cena. Also, in hindsight, he can have good matches with anyone. Small guys, big guys, round guys, skinnny guys, old guys, young guys, technicians, brawlers, gorillas... you name it, he can wrestle with it and he can have a good match with it. Rey is absolutely one of the best wrestlers of this past decade, and people often overlook him because the only times he was given a chance as world champ was when Smackdown was either in a slump, or waiting to put the belt on someone else. That is why I think Rey is legitimately deserving of a WWE title reign. The way I see it, Punk should beat Jericho, but drop the title to a returning Rey around No Way Out (June) and not only allow Rey to have his one last reign, but also give him a five star match with a man he has a past with to leave a lasting impression.
So who, out of the older gentlemen on the roster who only have enough time left for one reign, do you believe most deserves that said world title reign?
