Paul Wight provides a timeline for when he plans to retire from being an active competitor in the squared circle.
Paul Wight is a pro wrestler who is a mountain of a man at over 7 feet tall, but even giants get older and father time is undefeated in all sports.
Wight has not wrestled since March of last year and underwent hip replacement surgery in August.
That being said, Wight is not ready to call it quits just yet, but has a timeline in mind.
Wight told Tim & Eli on Battleground in a recent interview that he plans to retire in the next two years.
“I got a year and a half, two years left, before I hang it all up. Really, it’s about trying to help this younger talent and then moving on to that commentary role. Then, it’s about the younger talent. Right now, I’m still froggy and want to have fun and play a little bit. I’ve had plenty of matches, have done plenty of tours, had plenty of rivalries. Right now, it’s about doing what I can in helping the product out. There’s a time, all things come to an end, unfortunately,”

As of this writing, there has yet to be an announcement on Wight possibly returning to the ring.
