3) He takes up a spot that other guys could fill and has for 8 years or so
I couldn't care less if he is making a ton of money or is still poplular, those are HIS reasons for staying, which are separate from MY reasons for him to get the fuck off my TV screen.

i wont get into the thing with Hogan/Roberts but i am going to comment on Taker i think you are waaay off
1. his schtick is probably only old with you. its one of the greatest gimmicks in PW IMHO. and he pulls it off with excelence every night. he is still a major draw, and im going to say about 99% of PW fans, wether they're smarks or casual fans still love seeing taker.
2. if he shouldve retired 8 years ago his WM streak wouldnt be nearly as impressive. it wouldve been around 6 or 7-0 and Edge is already at 5-0 (i for one dont count his MITB as a loss) and he is still phenominal in the ring and while he still uses some of the same ol' moves he still can keep up with and IMO out wrestle the younger guys.
3. i dont think many people could fill the spot that Taker has made. not many guys have the talent and draw that Taker has. his shoes are very large to fill and i doubt anyone could take his place.
4. Taker is in probably the best shape of his carrer and unlike Flair who cant put on the same show he used to be able to (work wise) Taker can go out there night after night and perform and put on one helluva show. i think as long as he can still go out there and do what he does, and do it very very well (as he is) he should go on as long as he wants.
5. tell me one person that has been in the business that long, and with the sound of their music everybody goes crazy? Taker is a sight to behold, a great worker and all around great talent.
