Paul Burchill’s desire to create a positive legacy for himself led to his recent return to the ring, the former WWE Superstar has revealed.
In November of last year, Burchill made his TV return to wrestling at an NWA Powerrr event, which marked his first televised match since 2018.
On a recent edition of the “Under The Ring” podcast, Burchill revealed that he wanted to make a legacy for himself in wrestling that he can be proud of. He said,
“Well, I’m a father of four, so my kids obviously come into it and you’ve got to think about anytime that you’re getting back into something, you’ve got to think about how it’s going to impact all of that. What it came down to was, I’ve taken really good care of myself, I’m healthy and I’m fit and everything.
“I kind of looked at my time in WWE, I didn’t look back with a lot of — I guess pride is the wrong word, but I felt like if I had the opportunity to maybe make a different legacy for myself in wrestling, something I can look back on and be even more proud of, I should probably take it. So, I kind of toyed with the idea of maybe dipping my toe back in and see how it felt, and everything felt great, and it just kinda went from there.”
Burchill is best known for his WWE run. He spent a brief period as a pirate (which happened around the same time as the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest).
