Chase Burnett Announces Retirement Due To Injury
Uncle Chase Burnett has announced his retirement due to injury.
Burnett was largely active in Michigan, competing for ACIW, NEPW, AIW, GCW, and more throughout his career.
From Chase:
Ok, this is going to be hard to say. I don’t want to make this extremely long. But this is the reality.
I suffered a career ending injury. I will no longer be an active professional wrestler. 19 years on the Independent scene. I know my legacy and all my influence and I feel good that I left the business in a better place than I found it for sure. Started out as a BYW legend and did it my way. First pro wrestler to upload weekly to YouTube. Always kept it real with my peers. Stayed innovative and stayed hungry to learn every style and position in the business to pay it respect. Trained a few great wrestlers and mentored even more. If you have been reading my posts lately, I knew this day was coming. I can’t let my injuries alter the rest of my life. I am currently living with two broken bones in my leg and a 3rd fractured. The surgery is going to be a brutal recovery on my already beat down body.
I absolutely loved being a mentor to you all and just loved the art of wrestling so much.
I will make a few posts about my career because there is a lot to cover but first just have to thank the fans. Ty for always supporting me through countless eras of my life. You watched me grow up. We grew up together.
To all the amazing promoters, Mike Blackwell, John Thorne , Drew Cordeiro , Real G-money , Sean Tyler, Mikey Zeroe , for giving me a consistent platform to perform my art.
The men who tought me so much. Shawn Silver, RSP, Louis Kendrick, Dave Harbison, Truth Martini. Thank you.
My favorite opponents Alex Norton Matthew Anthony Anthony DeShawn Damon Kendrick Alex Weir
Putting together matches with Solomon Johnson was always a true collaboration. We did a new move every single match. Im gonna miss that man so much.
My BCWA family, my BYWLink family, our legacy will live on forever man.
And obviously Shawn, I owe you so much. What a life we created together. Thank you so much brother.
