That is why I came to the realization that 2007 will be my last year in the squared circle. As I approach 34 years old and my body breaks down with each match, it gets more difficult to be in the ring. It has been something that I have thought of for about 18 months to two years now but its something that I can’t stop thinking of. Believe it or not this isn’t a decision that I look at with sadness because I have done everything I ever wanted to do in professional wrestling times 1000 I have gotten to wrestle in so many countries, met so many great fans (some that have become true friends), and wrestled my heroes. I will still be involved on the other side of the business but as for wrestling in the ring December 31 will be it. It will make running WORLD-1 a little easier on me because I won’t have to worry about wrestling on the events just promote and book them.
But that also doesn’t mean I am going to just skate through the next 12 months and not try create some trouble With my return to Japan plus Canada, Germany, Ireland, and Australia and regaining the AWA World title last week I am going to have a pretty full schedule. Unlike when I wanted to retire in 2001 out of frustration and bitterness toward the wrestlng business, this decision is based on wanting to be home more and doing something different. It is was a great 12 year ride with one more year to go Thank you for everything to the fans, promoters, and wrestlers that I have had the pleasure to meet, hang out with, and perform with. |
Edit: Can someone fix my typo in the title?

Hey, someone beat me to it.

Man, I feel terrible for WMD and his 8 other fans. I really do.

You mean WMD, Swiggy, and his seven other fans. And it does suck. Corino was a throwback to when wrestling was good.
SamoaRowe - January 23, 2007 08:09 PM (GMT)
Hey, I like Corino enough to count as a fan! There are at least ten of us out there.

The only matches of his I could ever get into were the Homicide ones. All of his Japanese and ECW runs bored me to tears. I did not even like his match with Danielson that well, to be honest.

Wrestling just became a little bit better.

Which would be like living in a world full of "Scrap Iron" Adam Pearce's.

Great, now I'm gonna have to kill myself.........
or kill Corino, which I was thinking of doing anyway.

I don't know why, but this conversation has made me laugh.

Much like my reaction when people swear Corino is a good worker.
whitemilesdavis - January 23, 2007 09:13 PM (GMT)
I suppose it depends on your definition of a good worker, but the way I'm looking at it, there is no doubt that he's a good worker.

So wait? This jackass just pulled a Gagne with the AWA Title? Wonderful.
whitemilesdavis - January 23, 2007 09:16 PM (GMT)
He's obviously gonna drop it in Japan, though I wish he'd get it back to Converse. I can't totally blame the douschiness of the new AWA on Corino.

I thought it was Lawler or Zybszko who did that.
