I didn't mean to criticize anything he did before 2002. That was all some of the best stuff ever.
Even the stuff he did in his final years wasn't "bad." It just wasn't as good and was getting a bit stale. If he hung around, it definitely wouldn't have been for the better of anything.
Still, some of those fueds and matches were fantastic. His match with Brock was great.
It was just time for a change. As much as I didn't want to see the age of Austin and Rock end, I'm glad it did when it did. There's nothing worse than going too far.
That's why I always suggest that Shawn and Taker should both retire soon. It's not that I want their time to end, because it was so great. But it has to end sometime and it's much better for it to end before it goes downhill.
Both guys can still go, and probably could for a few more years, but there's just not much left for either of them to do (outside of retirement angles) and I'd much rather see their careers end on a high note/their own terms than find out the hard way when the sand in the hour glass will run out.
Rock and Austin's last moments in the ring were great. Taker and Shawn deserve the same. Then you have Hogan and Flair running around doing blade jobs in their 60s on Impact.
