Goldust has had an illustrious career that has spanned 30 years, and not many can say that. He has been an integral part of wrestling, especially WWE during the Attitude Era. But all good things come to an end eventually.
Goldust talked to Sports Guy Talking Wrestling and revealed how his career is almost coming to an end as he is nearing fifty years of age. This is what he had to say:
“I’ve wrestled just about everybody there is to wrestle, done just about every character reincarnation that I can come up with. What’s next? I’m at the end of my career here and about to be 50 in April. What else is there to do? I don’t know.
“My body’s getting older, they’re getting younger and faster. It takes a toll on an old man’s body like myself or [Kane] or Mark Henry or ‘Taker. You gotta do it a little bit less. You can’t go balls to the wall like we used to.”
I can still hang for a little bit with these kids. But I’ve gotta give them credit as they’re going out there for 30 minutes hard and fast and they can still tell stories. That’s big for me, it’s telling stories for people.
“Tell a story. You don’t have to do a thousand things in two minutes when you can do one just as good and still tell that story with your face, or how you land, or your reaction. That’s a lost art. Storytelling is a big part of our industry and if given time you can do it properly. If you’re Roman Reigns, if you’re Braun Strowman, you’re getting a weekly deal to tell that story and then it starts to work and you start feeling it.”
We hope Goldust gets one more title run before lacing up his boots for good.
