This may seem highly bizarre, but I was wondering who else is surprised that there is still a good handful of active wrestlers who started back when it was WWF?
Undertaker, Triple H, Goldust, Ron Killings, Kane, Big Show, Matt Hardy, and Jeff Hardy (and technically Kurt Angle until April 7th.) are the last active wrestlers who performed under the WWF banner. This is purely speculation, but who do you think will have the last match of these wrestlers? Who will be the last to take their final bow under those bright lights? Honestly, I feel like R-Truth might be the last and doesn't get enough credit for how long he has survived the business.
DISCUSS.

Undertaker is not active. he's had 22 matches in the last 8 years, and hasn't wrestled in over a year
Triple H also hasn't wrestled in over a year, with just 4 matches in 2018
Jeff Hardy, despite starting in 1993, is only 41. I could see him wrestling another 15-20 years if he stays healthy

I think Jeff Hardy will be the sole survivor- he's only 41, and has stayed injury free (minus his rotator cuff surgery in 2017). As long as he stays injury free, he'll go another 5 years. He's still agile, he's still over with the crowd, and I hope there's one more WWE Title run left in him

Triple H will be. Even at age 60, he will put on the tights to wrestle the next up and comer main event guy.

Also, unless Jeff Hardy starts wrestling only once a year, he does not have 15-20 years of wrestling left in him. Matt Hardy was recently hinting at retirement because of 25 years of damage to his body, I imagine Jeff Hardy would be no different.

Triple H. He will always be an onscreen Authority figure and I wouldn't be surprised if he's still wrestling when he's in his 60's.

I am surprised with the amount of guys left from the WWF era.If where only counting full time active roster members its already down to The Hardy Boyz & R-Truth and I would assume like most that Jeff will be the last one left standing since he's the youngest of the group and even with his extreme style has the least amount of serious injures.
If you just talking about having a match just once a year or a few times a year its clearly Triple H.Even turning 50 this year he's clearly going to be apart of the WWE for the rest of his life behind the scenes and with the shape he's in could turn into if he hasn't already the modern day Vince McMahon.By which I mean and authority figure who wrestle a few times a year or less into his 60's.
On another side note the longest active full time talent in WWE now is currently Randy Orton.Guys who where in the WWE before he started in Angle,Hardy's,Truth,Goldust..ect all left for years and came back.

You lost it on âthe Active Rosterâ this is the classic board there is no âActive Rosterâ here. So I moved to to the main wwe board.

Undertaker is not active. he's had 22 matches in the last 8 years, and hasn't wrestled in over a year I had to correct part of this, Taker last wrestled about 5 months ago when he & Kane teamed against DX @ Crown Jewel

K-Kwik or Goldust for me I think. Those guys are ageless. Can still go at a decent enough level.
If not Triple H of course.

Taker, Triple H, Goldust, Kane, Show, and Matt Hardy either aren't active at all, or are barely active.
I say R-Truth retires in the next two or three years.
Jeff is probably the last man left.

Brock and Orton made their official TV debut before the company got the F out. Shane still wrestles a few times a year and debuted well before WWE.

I'm going to use active in the sense that even if they don't compete often, they still DO wrestle on time to time. So for who i think will last the longest
1. Jeff Hardy - Jeff will probably last the longest, he'll be beaten to hell but he'll still go, if he works safer i can see him lasting 10-15 more years (crazy i know but it's Jeff)
2. Triple H - If H wins at Mania, i feel like he'll be the new Ric Flair, where he'll keeping going even in his 60's. Plus, he's arguably in the best shape of his career right now.
3. R-Truth - He's ageless, he's in his mid-late 40's and can still go like he's 30, with how much Truth gets used, i can see him sticking around for another 10 years.
4. Goldust - Like Truth, he's ageless and looks in better shape now than he did years ago, i expect him to stay for around 5 more years.
5. Shane McMahon - Shane will stick around for his annual Mania match and odd feud for probably the next 2 - 3 years.
6. Matt Hardy - In the best shape of his life right now so i can easily see him going for maybe 2 - 5 more years before his back injury catches up.
7. Big Show - Can only see Big Show doing Andre Battle Royals and the odd RAW match, he'll stay and do 2 matches for about a year, maybe 2.
8. Kane - He's basically retired now, like Big Show, he'll make the odd appearance, can only see him coming back for the Saudi Show and maybe (hopefully) a retirement match. This will probably be his last year.
9. Undertaker - Likely retired now, if not, he'll have 1 more match this year and he's done.
10. Kurt Angle - Obviously wrestling his last match (matches?) at Mania, unless it's SWERVE BRO AND HE'S GOT A LOT LEFT IN THE TANK!

I could see him wrestling another 15-20 years if he stays healthy Taker and Triple H wrestled each other like 6 months ago dude hair splitting metrics in this regard, are we considering Ricky Steamboat an active wrestler until 2009? Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco's in ring careers span until 2000 when their comedy matches petered out? Data is only as valuable as the parameters in which it follows, and if someone being a part time wrestler, wrestling 1-2 matches a year would still be considered an active wrestler, versus someone and I'm pulling someone at random from the active roster, like Heath Slater, who probably has upwards of 100 matches a year or more? The metrics are skewed and at fault. Then figure in Truth, Goldust, Angle and The Hardys extended spans of absence from WWE as well. Kane and Big Show are pretty much the last men standing from that bygone era.

I wanna know who has the most active years of the talents on the roster who can STILL wrestle a match. I always thought JBL would be there forever but things change.

I agree with R Truth not getting enough cred. I remember his first WWE stint when he was K-Kwik...that was such a quick run. I never expected him to come back and stay!
I can see Truth staying active longer than anyone listed. However, Jeff Hardy will be the last one to get wide spread credit. I consider the other listed pretty much retired. In the case of Triple H, I donât see him ever fully retiring, heâll be another Cher lol. He may have a set date one day but heâll never turn down a major opportunity. Do you ever really retire if youâre the bossâ son in law? Lol
Itâs sad to see the active legends dwindling down. Especially when you can say âThese are the absolute last of the WWF era.â Anyone wanna Take guesses as to who from THIS era will last the next 20 years?

He is one of the first guys to have started training in WWE Safe Style from the beginning of his career and has never been on the disabled list. Also, Gallows & Anderson, The Singh Brothers, New Day, Lio Rush will all probably still be wrestling 20 years from now.
