#1. NWA World Champion Tyrus could end up hanging his boots
NWA World Champion and former WWE Superstar Tyrus may be set to retire from wrestling soon. The powerhouse is set to defend his coveted title against EC3 at the upcoming NWA 75th Anniversary show, and ahead of the same, he pitched the Bull Rope match as a stipulation. Tyrus also added that he is willing to put his career on the line to get the match.
“I’ll make you an offer you cannot refuse. I’m so passionate, I want this Bull Rope match, I want to be the bull in the woods, if you will, prove it at the Chase, at the 75, that I’m willing to put my career on the line as well. So, if EC3 wins the 12 pounds of gold against me in a Bull Rope match, not only will he be champion, I will retire.” (H/T WrestleTalk)
Tyrus was a part of WWE for over half a decade. He was released from his contract in 2014.
