Professional wrestling legend Magnum TA appeared on an episode of the โSnake Pitโ podcast, where he spoke about a variety of topics such as why two-time WWE Hall of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair struggled with his retirement from wrestling as well as how he understands what Flair feels.
He said, โItโs a sacrificial business, to begin with. You give up a lot of things people take for granted, things they can do with their time, spend time with their families. You end up โฆ youโre married to the business.โ
โIt was a situation where you grew to despise the travel but you enjoy the performance part of it so much.โ โAnd enjoy that time in the ring and be able to be rewarded by the fans that are reciprocating, enjoying what you did, it was almost like a euphoric drug kinda thing.โ โNot only is it a potent drug, but itโs reportedly rare.โ
โThereโs nothing Iโve ever been able to do in my life thatโs replicated what that experience is like.โ โSo I know why Flair and these guys that were able to perform way past their physical prime because they couldnโt hang it up, they didnโt know what else to do. There was nothing to replace that with.โ
