Moose reveals his retirement date.
'The Wrestling God' has made the most out of 2024. Throughout his 189 day reign with the TNA World Championship, Moose was able to defeat big names like Alex Shelley, Eric Young, Matt Hardy, and KUSHIDA. At TNA Victory Road, Moose will look to defeat Nic Nemeth and become a three-time TNA World Champion.
As it turns out, Moose's wrestling career is winding down. While appearing on the latest episode of the Battleground podcast, Moose reiterated his desire to retire in the near future, saying that he plans on hanging up the boots once his current deal with TNA is finished.
“One of the reasons I’ve always stayed and never left to go elsewhere is because when I’m done and hang the boots up, I want my name to be synonymous to TNA. Right now, when you say those three letters, the name that everybody thinks of first is AJ Styles. Five years from now, once I hang the boots up, because that’s when I’m planning on hanging the boots up is once my current deal is up, I want my name to be the first name that people think about when they hear TNA. That’s the plan. I’m not one of those guys that wants to keep wrestling until he’s 50 or 60, I want to hang those boots up and ride into the sunset and enjoy some of this money I made with pro wrestling and pro football.”
Back in February 2024, Moose confirmed that he had signed a five year deal with the company in 2023. Learn more about those comments here.
