MVP, qui est le leader du clan Hurt Syndicate à la AEW, devrait prendre sa retraite en tant que lutteur bientôt.
En entrevue pour Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze, celui qui a aussi brillé à la WWE rappelle qu’il a 52 ans et qu’il pourrait livrer son dernier match l’an prochain.
“Let’s be real. I’m 52. I don’t want to sprint back and forth across the ring. I don’t want to get powerbombed and chokeslamed. I don’t want to do that. I don’t take booking for matches anymore. I’m not officially retired. But that’s coming. I’m thinking probably next year I will have my final match. I’m pretty confident. My final match is coming soon.”
MVP admet qu’il ne peut plus offrir les mêmes performances et la même passion dans le ring. Il refuserait par ailleurs que Tony Khan lui offre un dernier championnat en carrière.
“Physically, my ability to wrestle at a high level is deteriorating because of time. This is father time. I don’t have the explosiveness that I used to. Let me be real with you, I don’t have the desire. My passion for actually getting in the ring and having that match isn’t what it used to be. If Tony says, ‘Hey, I want you, Bobby and Shelton to do a trios match,’ I’m ready, especially if I’m doing a tag match. Yeah, I can give you that. If Tony said, ‘Hey, as a gift to you, for your career on the way out the door, I’d like to give you an AEW Championship title run,’ I would say no.”
