This tweet led to many speculations and many people believed that this is an indication from the former WWE Star that he’ll be retiring from pro wrestling.
Though soon enough, the wrestling veteran confirmed that these rumours are false and he’ll be appearing for an indie promotion on June 17th:
They got it wrong again am not retiring .Iam wking June 17 For Mr Harley Race https://t.co/oukZweOP6H

It’s worth noticing that Vader announced in November last year that he has only 2 years to live due to the congestive heart failure he is suffering from.
Vader last wrestled in a six men tag team match in Japan last year. Unfortunately, he passed out after the bout and the reason behind it was said to be a head bump he took during the match.
Even if he is not done with wrestling yet, it’s not very likely that we’ll ever see him as a fully active pro wrestler like he once was. He is only expected to be a part-time star for as long as he is wrestling due to his health issues.
