Rocky Romero Says He Thinks About Retirement All The Time, Will Remain Involved In Wrestling After Retiring
Rocky Romero is one of the most influential names behind the scenes in wrestling as he helped bridge the relationship between AEW and NJPW.
Romero is the Vice President of Talent Coordination and Show for AEW and NJPW, along with still being an active in-ring competitor.
Romero is part of the Don Callis Family on AEW TV, and he will take on Kenny Omega on Wednesday’s Dynamite.
“If this were my last match, I’d be honored for it to happen against a guy like Kenny. I’m definitely slowing down, so it feels great to still have a moment like this. When I retire, I’ll stay involved in wrestling. I really debate how much longer I’ll be in the ring–I think about retirement all the time. There is a certain standard I want to always meet and exceed. The second that is no longer the case, then I’m done,” Romero told Justin Barrasso of Undisputed.
Romero, 43, made his debut in 2000.
Romero teamed with Lance Archer & Hechicero against Death Riders (Daniel Garcia, Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta) in a street fight on the January 21st episode of AEW Dynamite.
