The ‘R’ word
By Scott Keith on 15 April 2018
Greetings from England Scott,
Loooong time reader – started with your pre-millenium (milenium?) Netcop rants!
Why do you think Wrestlers find it so hard to retire? Can understand injuries and finances being a factor, but some of the current older guard (Kane, Taker, Goldust, Jericho etc) just seem to keep going regardless?
Also, would you mind giving me a plug? I wrote a pretty good song called The Reasons You Rule and made a crappy video for it-
All the best!
I think it's just that they love the business and/or don't really know how to do anything else. The standard line from any wrestler is that they're going to retire and become a motivational speaker, but I think Marc Mero was about the only one to pull it off successfully.
