Back in March, former WWE Superstar Dirty Dango (a.k.a. Fandango) appeared to be teasing his retirement.
"I'll be stepping away from the ring in a couple months," he wrote in a tweet. "Goodbye forever."
In an update, the pro wrestling veteran, real name Curtis Jonathan Hussey, noted during an appearance on the Dropkick Podcast at WrestleCon that he is set to undergo knee surgery this summer, and will re-evaluate things after the operation.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he touches on this topic.
“First of all, I just wanted to get rid of Twitter. In general, it’s a very negative platform. It’s kind of my own fault for reading the comments. It’s good if you want to build your brand. I do construction back home, I’m kind of putting a lot more energy into that lately. I’m getting surgery this summer on my knee.
“I never really said I was retiring, I said I was going to step away for a little while. Of course, the dirt sheets picked it up. I kind of got a kick out of it. I’m gonna get surgery on my knee, it’s been bothering me for about a year now and re-evaluate this summer, take the summer off, spend it with my girl and my dogs, and see where we’re at. Wrestling is not going anywhere.”
