Mike Tenay Doesn't Rule Out Pro Wrestling Return

Former WCW and TNA announcer Mike Tenay isn't ruling out a return to pro-wrestling. 

'The Professor' recently resurfaced to be inducted into the IMPACT Wrestling/TNA Hall of Fame during Bound for Glory weekend. His former TNA broadcast partner Don West was posthumously inducted alongside him. 

Discussing the prospect of a return to the commentary booth with PWInsider's Mike Johnson, Tenay said: 

"Things that went down through the years in terms of — and I know it went on forever on that but in terms of me coming back, would I ever? It's the weirdest thing… I never wanted to have multiple retirements, come back, retirements. Pretty much everybody does in the history of professional wrestling. I felt like it was kind of a clean break. I follow everything religiously. I don't think it would be that tough of a transition if I did want to come back. I don't know if every company wants an old guy on their TV show. At the same time, would I rule any possibility of a comeback out? I would say no, I wouldn't rule it out, but it would have to be under my terms. I don't know that any company is willing to have it under my terms. It's nothing that I really feel in my heart like I need to go back and do. Again, in this reflection of the last couple of weeks, I think I'm kind of happy with everything that I did. And I liked moving on from it. Right place, right time. I can't say I never would do it, but it's not something that takes up a lot of my time thinking about thinking, gosh, I need to get back to doing wrestling announcing," said Tenay.

Perhaps the 68-year-old will come back when IMPACT Wrestling reverts to its TNA branding (starting with Hard to Kill on January 13).
