So financially it was a lottery ticket for me, and I’ve never really been a one that looks like I even have something to prove.”<\/p>\n
Wight did note that he spent a while doing boxing training during a break from WWE in 2007, and shared that he has an amazing deal of respect for anyone who engages in combat sports.

In the identical interview, Wight discussed his current status as a wrestler. Although he hasn’t wrestled publicly in several years, Wight isn’t yet retired, with several AEW stars that he stays excited to possibly work with.<\/p>\n
