Many of them can't resist the urge to get back in the squared circle in front of cheering (or booing) fans one last time.
Next month, it'll happen again as the "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant will have what he says is his final match. Although the WWE Hall of Famer is retired, he has wrestled several times since 2022. On April 25, the 83-year-old will have one last match for NAWA Championship Wrestling at a high school in Lancaster, SC.
His last match was a six-man tag match in NAWA. It has not been announced his last opponent(s) will be. In a press release, Valiant spoke about his final match.
"Yes, this will be my final dance. I've retired before but this is truly my last dance. I'm honored to hang up my boots after 62 years of wrestling pro.
