Rico Says He’s Retired Right Now But Would Be Open To Return

Rico is retired from the ring right now due to his health issues, but if they get cleared up he’s happily return. The former WWE roster member has been beset with blood clot issues following his in-ring career, something he is still dealing with.

Rico was asked about his status in an interview on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. He said that if he can get the clots cleared, he would return to part-time work and would be open to getting back into ring shape. You can see the highlights below:

On If He Considers Himself Retired:

“Well, right now, as I’m going through the blood clots and the blockage right now, I am retired, but if they can clear the blockage, either with a stent or remove it, and these go away, I’ll return to part-time work. I’ll go and work again. Maybe, you know, if somebody wants me to make a special appearance, I’ll get right back into ring shape.”

On If He’d Wrestle Again:

“I would. As soon as I get into ring shape, I would, and it won’t take me long. I’d love to in one of the bigger promotions and stuff like that. I’d love to do a tag match. Not ready to do singles yet. I would love a tag match.”
