The Former Rick Boogs Doesn’t Think He’s Done With Wrestling

Rick Boogs, now going by his real name Eric Bugenhagen, is a former WWE superstar who’s now staring on the revamped season of American Gladiator.

While he’s still jacked and kicking ass on the show, he recently sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet where he revealed that he doesn’t think he’s done with wrestling just yet.

When asked, he simply said “I don’t think so, man.” When asked if 2 and a half years ago he wasn’t sure, Rick responded with “I was a little soiled, sour flavor in my mouth.”

He went on to explain that he is more open to it now after years have passed and he’s gotten older.

“Yeah. I mean, as I get older and wiser. 3 years, you’ve almost graduated high school. That’s a freshman to a senior. Look at how much you’ve developed in that point in time. Or in college, baby-faced freshman to, like, grizzled, a real man. I’m going out to the real world. But I’m also glad, though, because if anything would have happened, it’s hard, man, pro wrestling is tough. What if I had a kink in my shoulder, I can’t do the tryout, I can’t do any push-ups. So I missed the try-out for American Gladiators because of that. Or what if I can go but I got a kink in my shoulder, and I can only do 6 push-ups instead of 100.”
