After 30 years in professional wrestling, veteran star Homicide has officially retired. The 47-year-old wrestler ended his career on a high note during a match at Outlaw Wrestling on March 20. What made it even more special was the emotional reason behind his retirement and the touching way he was honored at the end.
Homicide, known for his gritty style and fighting spirit, revealed that a serious health issue forced him to step away from the ring. However, he didn’t leave quietly. Instead, he went out with a win and was named Outlaw Wrestling’s “Forever Champion” by his longtime friend and tag team partner, Bull James.
Health Scare Ends Homicide’s Career
In an emotional message, Homicide shared that he discovered a cyst in his brain after visiting his doctor. He explained that the condition had been affecting his vision and speech for months. Due to years of hard-hitting matches, knockouts, and constant travel, the symptoms got worse over time. This serious health issue made him realize it was time to retire for his own well-being.
In his heartfelt message to fans, Homicide said goodbye to wrestling not just as a job, but as a passion and lifestyle. Still, he made it clear this wasn’t the end, calling it a “see you later” instead of a final goodbye.
