24. Christian Talks About Suffering A Concussion In 2014, Retiring On His Own Terms
During a recent appearance on Live Audio Wrestling, WWF veteran Christian talked about suffering a concussion in 2014, his retirement & more. Below are the highlights:
On knowing if he had suffered a concussion after a match on Raw in March 2014:
“I didn’t know because I had just come back not even long before that. I was aware when it happened that something was up which is why – you’re just trying to deal with it and trying to figure out is this something I can manage.
As a performer, your mindset is to try to – how do I get to the next match or whatever it is, right? Yeah, you have to deal with it, roll with it, it is what it is. I’ve accepted it.”
On retiring on his own terms:
“The way that I look at it is if I was earlier in my career, I think I would have had a bigger problem with it but I have accomplished so much in my career. The only thing I didn’t do was headline WrestleMania. That was the only thing I would love to have done but didn’t get a chance to do.
Other than that, I was 2 time World Heavyweight Champion, we have had how many great ladder matches, stole the show at WrestleMania, travelled the world – if I didn’t have those experiences and didn’t have the accomplishments that I already did, I think it would have been harder for me, you know what I mean?
I definitely realized at the time that I was closer to the end of my career then I was to the start so I think that made it easier than if I had been 31 – 30 or 31 years old.”
