WATCH: Wrestling Legend Reveals He Is Stepping Away For The Time Being

Come back soon? Being a professional wrestler is one of the most unique jobs in the world as a wrestler is all over the place on a regular basis. Several of them are constantly traveling and many have done so for years, if not decades, at a time. That can wear wrestlers down in a lot of ways and now one rather longstanding veteran is taking some much needed time off.

This weekend at Impact Wrestling Rebellion, Tommy Dreamer’s team defeated Bully Ray’s team in a Hardcore War. Before the match, Dreamer talked about how his mother was in bad health and he needed to be with her. In both his comments before the match and in more after them, Dreamer said that he was taking some time away from wrestling. There is no word on when he will return or if he will be back with Impact Wrestling. Dreamer, 52, has been with Impact Wrestling since 2018.

It was an emotional one. Check out what Dreamer had to say, plus his time in Impact Wrestling:

Opinion: There are certain things that are more important than wrestling and the health of your mother is one of them. Dreamer has long since proven what wrestling means to him and for him to need to step away shows you just how serious things are. Hopefully everything works out and he is back in the ring sooner than later, but more importantly, hopefully his mother gets better fast.
