45-year-old former WWE wrestler Trevor Murdoch has announced his retirement from wrestling.<\/p>\n

A 27-year veteran of the sport<\/a>, Murdoch announced his retirement<\/a> during the National Wrestling Alliance\u2019s (NWA) Powerrr shows on Comet TV.<\/p>\n

Following his match, Murdoch engaged in an interview with Kyle Davis, where he opened up in detail about his decision to hang up his wrestling boots.<\/p>\n

Murdoch announced his retirement and reflected on his 27-year career. He further expressed his gratitude to NWA owner Billy Corgan and the fans. (H\/T Fightful<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure if I can do this anymore. I\u2019ve been wrestling for 27 years, and I have seen guys that come in here, and they\u2019re only here for a payday. They don\u2019t give the fans what they deserve, and I always told myself that if I ever got to that point, I wasn\u2019t gonna be that guy,\u201d Murdoch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t wanna embarrass myself. I don\u2019t wanna embarrass my family. I don\u2019t want to embarrass Harley Race. So at this moment, I\u2019m announcing my retirement from pro wrestling. I wanna thank the fans, I wanna thank you, guys. Because of you guys, I\u2019ve been able to put two of my kids through college. It\u2019s all good, you know what I mean? For a fat guy from a small town, 27 years ain\u2019t bad,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna thank one more dude. He doesn\u2019t get enough credit. His name\u2019s William Patrick Corgan. Billy, you believed in me and gave me an opportunity when even wrestling didn\u2019t want me. You extended my career for seven years. I can\u2019t never give that back to you. All I can say is thank you. Thank you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
