Former NBA player Dwight Howard has revealed that his dreams of becoming a professional wrestler have come to an end, thanks to legendary wrestler Ric Flair. Despite trying out for WWE in 2022 and receiving positive feedback, Flair advised Howard against pursuing a career in wrestling due to concerns about his knees.
Instead of stepping into the squared circle, Howard is now preparing to showcase his dancing skills on the upcoming season of “Dancing With The Stars.” He expressed his excitement for the opportunity and reassured fans that his knees are in good condition for dancing, unlike the physical demands of wrestling.
While Howard may not pursue a career in commentating like Tom Brady, he has his sights set on a different path – comedy. He revealed his interest in doing stand-up comedy internationally and entertaining fans with his infectious personality.
Howard acknowledged the physical toll that wrestling can take on the body, with the constant need to lift heavy opponents and endure rigorous matches. Despite the potential for engaging storylines in WWE, he has decided to focus on other opportunities that align more with his passions and future goals.
As Howard gears up for his appearance on ‘Dancing With The Stars,’ he is dedicated to his training regimen, ensuring that he is in peak physical condition for the competition. His commitment to excelling in this new endeavor reflects his determination to succeed in any challenge he takes on.
Dwight Howard’s decision to pivot away from wrestling and embrace new opportunities like ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and stand-up comedy showcases his versatility and willingness to explore different career paths. Despite the disappointment for wrestling fans who hoped to see him in the ring, Howard’s fans can look forward to seeing him shine in other areas that showcase his talents and personality.
