8. Ken Doane Announces Retirement
Former WWE superstar Ken Doane announced his retirement this week.
Doane - best known as 'Kenny' from the Spirit Squad and then Kenny Dykstra - was a former World Tag Team Champion and also worked on the independent scene for companies like Ring of Honor.
Writing on Twitter, Doane said:
"I’ve decided to retire from in ring wrestling. When I started at 13 I thought I’d retire at 40. But smart investments overtime have allowed me to be done now. I’m in my prime, and that will go towards my family and being a father. Thanks to the fans who stuck by me".
Once thought of as one of the top, young up-and-coming prospects in WWE, Ken worked with major stars like Triple H and Shawn Michaels and was even given a singles match victory over Ric Flair on pay-per-view (New Year's Revolution 2007).
However, his momentum stalled time and time again and his career there eventually fizzled out (he was brought back for a short run in 2016).
It's always nice to see someone go out on their own terms, especially before they hit 40, a true rarity in wrestling.
