#1 Sting

Have wee seen the last of Sting?

The most obvious choice – Sting will turn 57 by the time Wrestlemania comes calling and his best days are definitely behind him.

Sting’s WWE run has seen him compete in just two full-scale singles matches and he lost both. More importantly, in the latter match against Seth Rollins, Sting suffered a neck injury and barely completed the bout.

Sting is currently out of action to undergo surgery for cervical spinal stenosis, the very condition that led to the retirement of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Edge when they were more than a decade younger than the Vigilante.

It is highly probable that we have seen the last match of Sting or he might just have that one dream match with the Undertaker at the upcoming Summerslam. Either way, Sting still wrestling in 2017 is a longshot.
