Shawn Spears is not planning on retiring from the ring just yet.
Recently, Spears was brought back to AEW TV and set up for a storyline with Bullet Club Gold. Unfortunately, the storyline would be nixed with no further explanation. This has worried some fans, who can see Spears hanging up his boots soon.
Speaking on Vibe 105, Spears spoke about the time he nailed Cody Rhodes with one of the most violent chair shots in wrestling history.
“First thing I thought when I hit him was ‘bullseye,’ that’s the first thing I thought. In terms of the backstage, I don’t pay attention to a lot of stuff online, especially since I’ve had my son, I just don’t have the time. Back then, I knew there was a lot of buzz and controversy. All that stuff is above my pay grade, I don’t care. My job is to go out and perform. I had a goal and I accomplished it. You guys are going to say what you’re going to say and watch what you’re going to watch. My job is to go out, perform, and let the chips fall where they may, and then go out and do it again the next week. It was a big moment. The Chairman is not gone, I will say that. The Chairman is just hibernating. He will be back, you will see him again. I will be swinging chairs again very soon,”
