WWE Legend Confirms He Retired Due To Health Issues

A WWE legend has now confirmed that he retired due to health issues. Since then, he has had to deal with multiple injury issues.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani, the WWE and ECW legend Raven talked about his retirement from wrestling. He also spoke up about his Parkinson's diagnosis.

Raven confessed that when he left WWE, he was really disappointed with the run he had with the company. He was glad that he could go to TNA from there and have one more run there for a final time. He said that he retired after that, as his body was starting to deteriorate due to the injuries he had faced.

"When I left WWE, I was really disappointed with my run. I was glad TNA was something I could fall back on and have a final run. They were still the number two company, even if they weren't anywhere near as big as WCW had been. So, I got seven good years out of them, probably. By then, the body was starting to get in bad shape from injuries and stuff. I think it all worked out the way it should have."
