You have to hang up the wrestling boots sometime. There are a lot of incredibly talented wrestlers throughout the world today and a lot of them work on different levels. You can have people in WWE or AEW, but there are far more who don’t wrestle on such a big stage. Those wrestlers have a limit on their careers as well, and one of them has reached their limit as well.

While WWE and AEW manage to get all kinds of attention no matter what they are doing, there is a lot more wrestling out there that does not get the same kind of attention. Ring of Honor is near the top of that list, with the better part of twenty years’ worth of history behind them. There are a lot of names throughout that history and now one of them is hanging up their boots.

Former Ring of Honor wrestler Erick Stevens has announced that he will be retiring from professional wrestling. Stevens had mentioned wanting to retire earlier in the year but continued wrestling throughout the summer. The announcement came after Stevens competed in a series of matches for the Collective in Indianapolis, Indiana. Stevens spent most of his career in Full Impact Pro and Ring of Honor before retiring for the first time in 2010. He would return in 2019, wrestling for various independent promotions, including Major League Wrestling.

Stevens was quite the talent. Check out what he could do in the ring:

Opinion: Stevens is someone who might not be familiar to everyone in modern audiences but he was a fine star during his Ring of Honor days. He had a good look and could work well in the ring, which is where Ring of Honor was the perfect choice. That is part of the time which made Ring of Honor as popular as it would become, with Stevens being part of the crew that got them there. Stevens was good and I’m a bit sad to see him hang up the boots.
