No More: 53 Year Old Wrestling Legend Announces 2023 Is His Last Year In The Ring
End of the line? Wrestlers are a unique breed when it comes to athletics. While they are all athletes in one way or another, many of them top caliber, many of them do not walk away from competition like others are able to do. This is partially due to being able to get back in the ring for one more match, making it hard to finish up. Now one legend is ready to finish things up for good though.

Opinion: This is one of those things that you knew would happen some day but it is still hard to actually believe it. Rhodes has been a constant in wrestling for such a long time now and the idea of him hanging up his boots is a little hard to grasp. Hopefully he gets a nice farewell as it is certainly earned. Rhodes is very good at what he does and has a career like few others have managed. Having him retire in a nice way is not only expected, but deserved.
What is the best part of Rhodes’ career? What would you like to see him do before he retires? Let us know in the comments below.
