WWE authority figure Adam Pearce celebrates 30 years in wrestling
Adam Pearce — the general manager of WWE Raw — is celebrating a big milestone today.
Pearce sent out a post today celebrating the fact that he has now been in wrestling for 30 years. He’s worn many hats during that time, competing in the ring, holding the NWA World Championship, booking ROH, working behind the scenes in WWE, and now being prominently featured on WWE television as an on-screen character.
“30 years ago today my professional journey began,” Pearce wrote. “It has allowed me to visit places and experience cultures in our world I never would’ve otherwise, and to meet so many people. Some like-minded, some so different, ALL sharing a same passion. Grateful for every step, misstep, and re-step.
Here’s to the next 30.”
Pearce and Nick Aldis are the respective general managers of Raw and SmackDown, which has led to fan speculation that the two could potentially have a match at some point. Aldis’ time in the ring is likely not over, but whether Pearce will ever wrestle again remains to be seen. Pearce has been retired since 2014 (aside from technically appearing in a couple WWE matches in his authority figure role where he did not really wrestle).
