Rob Van Dam isn’t sure if he is close to retirement anymore.
Most recently, Rob appeared on AEW Collision, teaming with HOOK against Angelo Parker and Daddy Magic. Before that, he had a mini feud with Jack Perry for the FTW Championship in a match that was received well by many fans.
Now, Rob isn’t sure if he should retire or not. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Rob Van Dam was asked about potentially winding down his in-ring career.
“Not really. I mean, you know, sometimes the thought goes through my head. If I’m having a bad travel day, for instance, I’m done, I hate this, I just want to be home, traveling sucks. I’ll have those moments inside my head. But they usually don’t last that long. I used to think I was gonna retire. That was like several years ago, and I thought I was probably close to hanging the boots up. Now, I just don’t even think I will. I think I’ll be like Dory Funk Jr. and just [keep going], and I may quit taking bookings. But I don’t think I’m gonna make a big deal out of being retired because the credibility of wrestlers retiring is so broad anyway. You know, so I don’t [know]. Sabu used to say, it’d be cool if we did a retirement tour, and we went around the world and wrestled for all the companies that we’ve wrestled for. But the timing of that didn’t work out too well, because he finished up before me,”

During the AEW WrestleDream media call, Khan was asked about holding a show at the Hammerstein Ballroom, going on to confirm that he is open to another RVD appearance in the future.
