I am offically retired. And it was by choice.
Last Saturday I performed in my last wrestling show at the Ocean Beach Fair. I had four matches in three shows in one day. I also participated in a battle royal. I won three of those matches.
(Left) The Knuckle Duster to Buster. (Right) Sunny Side Up on the same guy.
My first match was with my long time rival, Buster. I lost that match, but it's okay, cause I did a lot of cool moves. My second match was perhaps my favorite, surpisingly. It was against Mase. I never wrestled with the dude before so I was nervous. Especially when I found out that my two friends, Amy and Sunny, came to see me. It was their first time to watch me wrestle so I was equally excited and nervous. It went over well though. I got to hit on Amy and Sunny as my character which was a lot of fun. I asked Sunny, "How much did your boyfriend pay you?" and said to both, "You girls see me after the show. ;)" They played along really well. Mase and I hit almost all of our spots and did some neat combinations and moves. After I defeated him with the Spring Valley Driver, I went over to my girls, sat with them, and kissed them both on their cheeks to celebrate my victory. Loads of fun.

After the match I hung out with Amy, Sunny, and a few of Amy's friends. We walked around, looking for something to eat, went to the beer garden to get a drink, and hit up a bar to get more drinks and play pool. An Asian guy with four white girls lol. You know I had fun! At the bar, Amy kept talking to these two guys and eventually brought them over to play pool with us. Haha! Silly Amy! Also, Sunny and I renamed one of my moves after her. My standing shooting star press is now called the Sunny Side Up. Cool name huh?
In my third match, I went up against Black and Blue (Malcom). It was a lot of fun cause this time I did more spots with Amy and Sunny and they cheered for me more. During the match I would go sit with them for comfort cause I was scared of my opponent. Malcom interacted with them too. after he did his devstating fisherman branbuster on me, he yelled to them, "Now I know you liked that!" and thrusted his hips towards them. After I defeated him, the girls yelled at him and said, "I know you liked that!" and did one of my gestures (the crotch chop) at him. It was fabulous. After the match I went to the girls and kissed them again. But this time I was so frickin' tired. So I sat with them until they left.
(Left) A painful headlock on Ryan Stone. (Right) Me with two of my biggest fans, Amy and Sunny.
The last match was a surprise. An injured Ryan Stone wanted me in the ring. So I took up his challenge and manhandled him in a squash match. That means I was all offense and he didn't get any attacks in. So I beat him in less than five minutes. The last thing I participated in was a battle royal with about 9 guys in the ring beating the shit out of each other. I managed to avoid fighting most of the time, but I eventually got thrown out of the ring and eliminated. So much for that.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. Everyone wanted me to stay, but I didn't want to. I figured out this past year of wrestling that this business is not for me. So I'm done with it.
