Enjoy Moose while you can.
The System leader doesn’t appear to have a whole lot longer left in the sport.
During a face-off interview on the Battleground podcast that included TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth, Moose spoke about wanting his name to be synonymous with TNA Wrestling, and how he intends to retire when his current deal with the company expires.
“One of the reasons I’ve always stayed and never left to go elsewhere is because when I’m done and hang the boots up, I want my name to be synonymous to TNA,” he said. “Right now, when you say those three letters, the name that everybody thinks of first is AJ Styles.”
He continued, “Five years from now, once I hang the boots up, because that’s when I’m planning on hanging the boots up is once my current deal is up, I want my name to be the first name that people think about when they hear TNA. That’s the plan. I’m not one of those guys that wants to keep wrestling until he’s 50 or 60, I want to hang those boots up and ride into the sunset and enjoy some of this money I made with pro wrestling and pro football.”
