Sunday’s Crown VI event for Northern Crown Wrestling in Toronto, Ontario, Canada featured TNA Wrestling talent Josh Alexander officially announcing his retirement from his indie wrestling career after the end of this year.
“You won’t see me here on the independents anymore — maybe some special things here and there, if it’s possible. I don’t know yet. I’ve got to figure it all out.
But what you will be able to see is the next crop, the next group. And I hand-picked Vaughn Vertigo and Gabriel Fuerza as the two that I was going to work with before I hung it up on the independents. Because, people, for good or bad, they call me a leader in this country.
I’ve seen all the bullshit that people want to talk about on Twitter. I’ve been talking with my wife and with my kids. I have been grinding and I’ve been hustling for 20 years. [Chants of “Thank you, Josh”.]
No, Thank you. Without you guys I would never have got re-upped three years ago for more money than I ever made doing construction. That puts me in the position I’m in right now where I can feed my family and keep a roof over our heads. I’m thankful for fans like you championing my hard work every weekend all across this country. Thank you.”
