Allison Danger has issued a statement on Cindy Rogers’ retirement.

Danger will face Rogers in her retirement match at WSU’s Uncensored Rumble iPPV on June 25th. The match was requested by Rogers.

When I was first approached about being Cindy Roger’s final wrestling
match ever I was flattered. Honored even. But then I thought to
myself, “Who else would they ask?”. Let’s face it-there would be no
Cindy Rogers without Allison Danger. Join me for a quick walk down
memory lane (don’t worry, nerds, it is not a REAL walk. Lord knows
wrestling fans hate any form of real exercise):

Cindy Rogers Issues Statement Announcing Retirement, Final Match Against Allison Danger

April 6, 2011 by Melanie

WSU’s Cindy Rogers will be retiring following one last match on June 25th at WSU’s Uncensored Rumble iPPV.

Her opponent that night will be her good friend Allison Danger, who will be appearing for WSU for one night.

Rogers’ statement below:

I started this journey of pro wrestling 10 years ago, and it has been the greatest ride. Due to a permanent neck injury I sustained in a car accident 2 years ago I have to announce my retirement from this sport I love. It’s a decision that I have put off for a long time now. Physically I needed to do it awhile ago, but mentally I just couldn’t do it. Unfortunately the physical part has taken a priority. I will be retiring on 6/25 at the WSU show in Union City, NJ.

I had the pleasure of working with some of the best female wrestlers out there and some of them in my opinion are the best of all time who don’t get the credit they deserve. I’ve also been able to not just meet, but work with some of the legends I grew up watching. It has been said that it is hard to make friends in this business, but I have been lucky to make many friends including ones who I also consider family-you guys know who you are :)

Pro-Wrestling: EVE has announced a new venue and start time for their event on Friday after their original venue backed out yesterday just days before the show.

Full details below:

URGENT AND IMPORTANT UPDATE! CHANGE OF VENUE TO THIS FRIDAY’S SHOW IN
NORWICH!

At 2.54pm on Monday April 4th Pro-Wrestling:EVE was informed by The Royal
British Legion in Norwich (the venue for the Friday April 8 EVE DVD
Tapings) that the venue was cancelling the event. The reason we were
initially given was that there had been complaints made to the police
about the venue holding a women’s wrestling event. These complaints lead
to the Police Licensing Department investigating the venue thus the venue
cancelled the upcoming show. It has since emerged that the Royal British
Legion who have held regular wrestling events at their venue in the past
did not have the sufficient licensing in place as claimed by the venue
management upon accepting the hire.
