Slow It Down: Longtime WWE Star Reveals Plan To Lighten Up Schedule

He might not be around as often. There are a lot of wrestlers in the world today but they all have one thing in common: at some point they have to step out of the ring. That can be harder for some than others and it can make for some interesting exits. Some people do it in a different way, and a current WWE star might have a bit of a unique plan for how to wind things down.

During an interview on The Five Count, WWE’s Sheamus said that he would like to change his schedule to acting for a few months and then wrestling for a few months. The idea behind the switch would be to keep things fresh, though Sheamus says he still loves being in front of the camera in one way or another. Sheamus, 44, has been wrestling on the WWE main roster since 2009 and has dabbled in acting since 2008.

Opinion: This is one of those things that could work, but it does seem that Sheamus is starting to think about life after wrestling. You wouldn’t know that he was in his mid 40s, but it is nice to see that he has something of a plan. That is more than a lot of wrestlers seem to do and it is nice to see someone thinking ahead. Maybe he has a future in acting and he does have some experience, so maybe a part time deal is a better idea at the moment.

What do you think of Sheamus’ plan? What would you like to see him do in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
