Goldust has been in the professional wrestling business for 30 years. The former Intercontinental champion has wrestled in WCW, then named TNA, and of course, WWE. However, at the age of 50, Goldust’s career inside a wrestling ring may be approaching the end
Here's what the legendary Superstar had to say on the Sports Guys Talking radio show:
"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."
Goldust talked about his recent double knee surgery, noting that his body doesn't recover like it used to. That makes it harder to keep up with guys half his age but the unorthodox superstar believes that for the younger talent to truly stand out, they need to master the art of storytelling.
"I can still hang for a little bit with these kids," said Goldust
. "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."
