NEW DELHI: Former WWE Superstar Mario Mancini, who shared the ring with wrestling legends such as Bret Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage, has announced his return to professional wrestling after years of retirement.Mancini, a prominent figure in WWE between 1984 and 1992, disclosed this exciting news during an appearance on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast.The 57-year-old wrestler expressed his plans to step back into the ring for Great North Wrestling (GNW) on June 29, marking a significant comeback to the squared circle.The highlight of Mancini's career includes being the opponent for The Undertaker in the wrestling icon's debut match, which took place during a WWE Superstars taping on November 19, 1990. This historic encounter was filmed just three days before The Deadman's televised debut at Survivor Series 1990.During the podcast discussion, Mancini shared his perspective on the upcoming match, stating, "I'm going to rely on my psychology skills to get through a wrestling match. I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll just mimic à la [former WWE agent] Chief Jay Strongbow, my second father, and I'm sure I'll be fine because the Chief has taught me many things, not only about wrestling but about life."The scheduled event will take place in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, and coincidentally falls eight days after Mancini's 58th birthday. Fans of classic wrestling and those familiar with Mancini's contributions to the industry will undoubtedly be eager to witness his return to the ring.(Inputs from agencies)
