After a remarkable 23-year career in professional wrestling, Josh Prohibition has announced his retirement, marking the end of an era for the veteran wrestler. Prohibition, a household name in the indie wrestling circuit, has had a storied career, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in the business.
With his official debut in 2001, Prohibition has been a fixture in the indie scene, wrestling against top stars and holding multiple titles throughout his career. He has shared the ring with the likes of Sami Zayn, Britt Baker, Candice LeRae, Eddie Kingston, Seth Rollins, and The Young Bucks, among many others.
Prohibition’s career has been marked by its share of ups and downs, including a brief retirement due to a concussion. However, he made a triumphant return to the ring, ultimately deciding to bring a close to his career on his own terms.
The 44-year-old wrestler will bid farewell to the sport he loves with a final match against former rival Matt Cross at the AIW show in Cleveland. The match is a testament to Prohibition’s undying spirit and dedication to the world of wrestling. Cross, who had interfered in one of Prohibition’s matches, leading to a loss, has been called out by the veteran wrestler for one last showdown.
In a heartfelt message to his fans, Prohibition reflected on the journey that has brought him to this point. “I’ve been here through every tragedy in my life, and my scars tell my story,” he said. The message is a testament to the emotional toll that a career in wrestling can take on an individual, but also a testament to Prohibition’s resilience and determination.
As Prohibition prepares to hang up his boots for the final time, he will be driven to make a lasting mark on the industry that has given him so much. With his wealth of experience and undeniable talent, there is little doubt that he will leave it all in the ring, giving the fans one last memorable performance.
