Who's retirement (match) at this point would you care/not care about?

After HBK officially retired from the ring, it got me thinking that most of the stars that i grew up with since watching wrestling are actually human beings and must retire lol. I know it sounds gay, but guys like HHH, Undertaker, Jericho , Edge, and even Batista will be "it" of the infamous Attitude Era.

With that being said, who's retirement will NOT be looking forward to the most and who's will you be wishing they did it sooner? For me:

Chris Jericho: Man, when/if he has a WrestleMania retirement match, i hope its not one of those JBL-type of departures. This guy has been the most consistent guy in my book. Always good matches, put people over, got shat on by people and still did his thing, and had one of the most MEMORABLE matches in WrestleMania history (XIX). By the way, that was a very underrated PPV, IMO. I think HHH/Booker T put a blotch on it because i definitely wanted Booker to win.

Undertaker: The man has done it all and more. I think this one will be the hardest to watch. The guy has SOOOOO much respect from the wrestling community, in and out of the ring. The guy was there in the WWE through 3 or 4 "generations" ala Attitude Era, Sports Entertainment Era, New Generation (Bret, Yoko, etc). That will definitely be a juggernaut leaving the business, like an Austin, Flair, Rock, Hogan type. To me, he is right up there with those men. I just hope that they don't do a halloween-type of send off for him. Have him come out in his street clothes as Mark Calloway and do his thing.

HHH: To be honest, i did not like the guy for a LONG time. I enjoyed him as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, HHH in DX, and as the Cerebral Assasin during the attitude era. But when he came back in '02 (which i had no problem with and was one of the people prepped for his return), he hogged the spotlight very hard and i still have a beef with him not letting Booker T have the win at WM XIX. So basically from 02-07, i really wasnt feeling him. But i guess when you get older, you step back and think that though he married the boss's daughter, the guy was a workhorse in the ring, on the mic, and did let my boy Jeff Hardy get a title win. His send off will probably be the biggest, since he's HHH but i don't think alot of the "boys in the back" will really appreciate it, more like "go through the motions".

Edge: Probably the one guy i will say, besides HHH (who i look more positive towards Edge about it), who will do WHATEVER it takes to reach the top. The guy is one of the best heels since HHH to grace the mic. The only thing i wont miss is the Lita/Matt Hardy thing. I mean, i could see if it was like Batista/Melina/JoMo thing where they aren't boys and traveling together but they WERE. But don't want to bring up the past, so continuing, Edge definitely is HOF material. Ladder matches, E&C...speaking of which, one of the most ENTERTAINING tag teams of all time. I still say those two could've had their own movie. But he still has a good amount left in him if he can stay healthy.

People who i really wouldn't miss:

Batista: I mean, he is awesome as a heel right now. If he would've been like this before, probably would've been closer to his character. But he just seems to be that guy who was under HHH's wing and based on his look and who his friends were, he was pushed to the top.

How about you guys?
