Five-time NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce retired from full-time wrestling in 2014. In recent years, he has been featured on WWE programming as an authority figure, and he is now the General Manager of WWE Raw.
Speaking on Chaotic Good Sports, Adam Pearce discussed his career, and he noted that he didn’t want to wrestle.
“It’s funny because wrestling fans today, especially the WWE Universe, it’s like their jaws drop when I say that. ‘Why don’t you wrestle?’ I don’t want to. I had so many perfect days in the sun, I took so many bumps, I had the time of my life for 20 years and was fortunate enough to have the amount of tools and the toolbox necessary for someone to open a door to a new pathway. I like to say walk your path with passion, and when you get to the end, redefine that path and walk it again. I’ve had multiple paths in pro wrestling, and I’m walking them all. I love every single one of them. Listen, if the time comes and they say, ‘Hey, we need you to have a match,’ brother, I will get my hands dirty. I got my hands dirty [on Raw] with Bronson Reed a little bit. I am certainly capable, but am I looking to do that, particularly on a full-time basis? Hell no. I am good. I’m good just telling people, ‘It is official,’” Pearce said.
Billy Corgan has invited Adam Pearce to come back to the NWA one more time. More information is available here.
