What is the best way?
Dignified exit after realising you are no longer on top form. Putting over your opponent in your final match.
STEVE AUSTIN
SHAWN MICHAELS
Constantly "retiring" before having a "comeback"
RIC FLAIR
HULK HOGAN
Not retiring but generally staying off TV and having matches at occasional big events.
THE ROCK
TRIPLE H
Being screwed in your last match with one company then being forced to retire due to injury with another. Then coming back not being able to wrestle properly but somehow winning a title as a "token gesture".
