Rob Van Dam On When He Plans To Retire

Rob Van Dam has been lucky enough to have a long career in the professional wrestling business, and he recently finished up a run with Impact Wrestling.

RVD talked a little bit about his future on The Dropkick Podcast, and he noted that he’s been winding down for years now.

In regards to a potential timeline for his retirement the former WWE Champion said that if he does officially retire he will probably do it before he’s 51.

“I don’t know; I could [retire] any time, dude. I can’t see me missing it like all the other guys do. I think I’ll be able to deal with it really. I like the way that it keeps me in shape, and makes me work out, and stretch so I can keep doing all my sh*t and stuff. I like that. There’s definitely a lot of benefits from it, but honestly – like everybody in the dressing room – not only are they hungrier than me, but I’m so happy to give them the TV time because they want it. They want to go out there and work their balls off, and I’m usually, you know, trying to get my sh*t in and be professional. But the same time, less is more.”

“I’m going to be 50 in December; I’m 49 right now. I want to say that if I am going to retire, I probably will do it before I’m 51. Maybe I won’t retire. Maybe I’ll be like Dory Funk Jr. and I’ll keep the boots on the bottom shelf.”
