Rob Van Dam Doesn't Think He Will Ever Retire From Pro Wrestling

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam doesn't envisage hanging up the singlets anytime soon.

Speaking about the prospect of retirement during a recent edition of his 1 Of A Kind With RVD podcast, the Whole F'N Show said:

"I used to think I was going to retire a few years ago. I haven't put a lot of thought into it. I just kind of figured semi-retired and I would probably just not pick up bookings anymore eventually or whatever, but now I don't think I ever will. Why bother? I'll probably be like Dory Funk Jr. and just never retire. As much as I pride myself on being genuine and honest and I like to set an example by the way I live, I wouldn't want to retire and then come back two years later and wrestle again like everybody does, but I don't know that I would miss it and that's why I thought it would be easy to do before because people always ask, 'Do you miss it?'. 'No'. I'm still doing it".

Continuing, the 52-year-old said:

"Maybe if I didn't do it and I knew I wasn't going to do it again, for sure I would have a different perspective, whatever it is, but instead, it's the opposite. I have one match coming up for sure. I might have three before then that are on the developmental table, let's say. Let's see what happens there. That's my thoughts on retirement anyway".

Van Dam spoke last year about how 2022 had been a 'rejuvenation' for him and how he had been having more fun in the ring.

RVD is advertised as competing at the Global Pro Wrestling summit in Israel on September 14.
