That would come much later. As The Last Ride demonstrates, his first loss at Wrestlemania in at the hands of Brock Lesnar, was a turning point. Despite rewatching the match several times, he still can't pinpoint the point at which he became concussed.
His memories of that day end in the afternoon, long before he stepped into the ring. In the documentary, his wife speaks of being in the hospital with McMahon into the early morning, with doctors asking him his name and never receiving a straight answer. He was released from the hospital the following day, but it took him weeks to fully recover. At this point — he was 49 at the time — he had begun to wind down his career. Unable to keep up with the physical demands of the WWE's gruelling tour schedule, he was only wrestling a few times a year, a Raw match here or there and a Wrestlemania to defend his streak.
On top of this, it gives you a lot of time to think about the more dangerous aspects of the job. Fear, he says, is a double-edged sword for a professional wrestler. But also, are you putting yourself in more jeopardy? You run the risk of injuring yourself and you risk injuring your opponent. Longevity demands mental fortitude, but also self-awareness. And then came the decision to retire in , much to the relief of his wife, who was shaken by the concussion. Everything surrounding the match was perfect: his wife and child were in the audience cheering him on and he left the arena with his fist held high after a standing ovation.
When he emerged backstage, he was greeted by his long-time friend and on-screen foe in the business Paul Levesque Triple H , who gave him a big, warm hug. Most of the dressing room gathered to give him a round of applause. But he was not happy. He had a dream ending in mind and this match did not meet his expectations. So the very next day, he went into hospital and had his hip replaced with an artificial metal joint. He was out the following day and already plotting his return. He got another shot at a final bow the following year, dispatching John Cena at Wrestlemania 34 in New Orleans in just three minutes.
But once again, he was disappointed. He had performed well, but only for a short period of time. He felt he could have given it his all for 20 minutes, but was not offered the opportunity to do so. And so, he offered his services up once again. His life carried on like this for the next two years, making sporadic returns to the ring in search of his fabled end. He admits to envying Shawn Michaels — with whom he shared two of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time in and — who retired after their bout and has only made cameo appearances since.
There was no ceremony, no tearful goodbye. He'll likely go again. There's another internal battle going on here and it's one that most professional athletes can probably relate to: he's reluctant to give up what has been a defining part of his life for the past 30 years.
