The self-proclaimed Best in the World CM Punk has been wrestling for over 27 years. Recently he opened up about his plans (or lack of) to retire from professional wrestling.
While speaking to Jackie Redmond in an exclusive sit-down interview, CM Punk shared that while he does understand that he does not have a lot of time left in his career, he does not know when his last match is going to be. Punk is working hard in the gym and in the ring and at the same time he takes enough rest to ensure he recovers fast.
“I feel great right now. I definitely don’t feel like there’s a looming doomsday clock over my head or anything like that. But saying that, I also do realize based on what happened in the last Royal Rumble, that this could all end in a heartbeat. I never know when my last match is going to be. And you see guys like John Cena doing a full-blown retirement tour. I look at myself like I’m on the same road as John, maybe not egotistical enough to announce it to everybody like, ‘Hey this is it.’ But I am not setting a limit on anything.
“I am just doing my best to bulletproof myself on a daily basis. Work as hard on recovery as I do, in the gym and in the ring, and not make this twilight of my career extended beyond what people expect of me.”
CM Punk also shared the reason why he does not dye his hair. According to Punk, his grey hairs tell stories about his journey and the hardships he’s gone through in professional wrestling.
“I don’t want to twist in the wind and just be some old guy. I think I get criticized an unfair amount. But it’s because I don’t dye my beard. I don’t dye my hair. I 100% embrace it. To me, these greys, I’ve earned them. These, just tell stories. It’s the roads I’ve traveled, it’s the bumps and the bruises that I’ve taken, it’s the injuries that I have survived. My face is a roadmap. I would not remove a scar. I wouldn’t dye my hair, dye my beard. This is me. And I was me when I first wrestled at 15 years old. And I’m me at 46, and I will always 100% be truly, unapologetically, one of one, CM Punk,” CM Punk said.
When do you think CM Punk will retire?
