The recent reveal that Chuck Taylor is retired reportedly isn’t just for show, but the 38-year-old wrestler is actually finished in the ring.
After a brutal parking lot brawl with Trent Beretta, Orange Cassidy shared the news that Taylor’s injuries have forced the wrestler to retire from in-ring competition.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it’s noted that what was said on TV was accurate and “the belief right now is that Taylor won’t be able to wrestle again.”
The report noted that there could be “wiggle room” which may explain why Taylor himself did not make the announcement on AEW programming.
On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Cassidy defeated Trent but was attacked after the match with Beretta hitting a piledriver on the steel steps.
