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 :)

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

did not have the sufficient licensing in place as claimed by the venue
management upon accepting the hire.
