Billy Gunn Doesn’t Want To Wrestle Into His 70s, ‘I’m Getting To The Point Where I’m Kind Of Slowing Down A Little’

Billy Gunn doesn’t want to wrestle into his 70s.

At the age of 62, Gunn still wrestles regularly for Ring Of Honor and various promotions on the independent scene. On an impressive note, 2026 is his 34th year of Gunn’s career as an active performer.

Chatting with Chris Van Vliet for a new interview, Billy Gunn was asked if he wants to continue to wrestle into his 70s.

“I don’t. So I want to do it while I still can, and while I’m still having fun. I mean, you can ask my wife, she hates watching me, because I’m just such a goof. I’m such a goof because I just don’t have any stress anymore. There’s no stress for me to go out there and have everybody go, Oh, watch, it’s going to be an unbelievable wrestling match. They’re going to go, we’re about to have so much fun and be interactive in what we do, because that’s what he does, you know. So that’s what I’m doing. Do I want to? No, I don’t want to work until I’m 70. But is it possible? Sure, anything’s possible. But I’m getting to the point where I’m kind of slowing down a little. I think it’s because the gym is taking over my life.”

Earlier this month, Road Dogg noted that he wants to do a Dumpster Match with Billy Gunn in 2027. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
