Interview with Arn Anderson

WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson spoke with The State website about being forced to retire due to a spinal cord injury in 1997. "The fans gave me a warm send off,” he said of his August 25, 1997 match in Columbia, S.C. "They didn’t know it was coming, and I didn’t even know it coming. That was something I decided on that day. It was time."

Anderson also revealed how much longer he wanted to wrestle if he hadn't been injured. "To be honest, I had hoped to have a 20-year wrestling career and call it a day a wealthy man," Anderson said. "I was going to walk away in one piece, but that wasn’t the case. I was so fortunate that I paid attention to the inner workings of the industry. That afforded me a backup and allows me to work with all the young talent."..More?
