Former WWE star and current Impact Wrestling man Rhino/Rhyno has told The Angle Podcast that he plans to wrestle for another "5 years" before finally hanging up his boots.

Rhino, who debuted way back in 1995 and initially rose to prominence as part of Paul Heyman's ECW, says he is loving his return to the Impact fold. The veteran is having some of the best matches he's had for years, but he knows that can't go on forever.

So, the ex-WWE Hardcore, United States and SmackDown Tag-Team Champ wants to work full-time for another half-decade then move full-time into a production role behind the scenes. He'd be more than happy to do that with Impact too.

Rhino added that he'd like to walk away on his own terms rather than due to a pile up of injuries or anything like that. The 'Man Beast' also loves the thought of working his final match ever for Impact. That'd mean a lot to him.

As Rhyno, the Canadian last wrestled for WWE in 2019. There was no talk about a potential return to the company on the podcast.
