WWE on-air performer Adam Pearce recently appeared as a guest on the Pro Wrestling Illustrated podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the popular sports program, the former wrestling veteran turned WWE executive and on-air performer spoke about having no desire to return as a full-time wrestler and how he is having the time of his life with his current role in WWE.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the new interview.
On how he has zero desire to become a full-time wrestler again: “When it was first broached, I was like, ‘What?’ I haven’t been shy about the fact, in a personal sense, I have zero interest in being a full-time wrestler ever again in my life. Zero. Less than zero. Everything that is happening and has happened, has been ‘icing on the cake’ in a very real and literal sense. I’m having the time of my life doing this right now.”
On how it’s gratifying to be in with the very best: “I don’t have to do it to make a living anymore and it’s really gratifying to be in there with the very best in our profession. This is the cream of the crop and I get to apply my trade and match wits with these guys. I never thought that was going to happen. Whatever ends up happening is perfect and coming around full circle.”
