Josh Alexander no longer taking independent dates
Josh Alexander is retiring from the independent scene.
The TNA star announced on social media Sunday that he was taking a step back, instead letting the next generation of independent talent step up.
“I’ve loved my time in the independents these past 20yrs. I’ve done amazing things, worked with amazing people and got to travel the world performing in front of amazing fans,” he wrote. “That being said I’m tired of the hustle. It’s time for the next crop to step up and fill whatever void I may leave behind in the Canadian scene.”
He credited the independent scene for making lifelong friends as well as his wife, current TNA announcer Jade Chung.
“It’s not goodbye,” he concluded. “It’s just see you later.”
Alexander made the announcement earlier on Sunday during a Northern Crown Wrestling event, saying he would be open to doing special dates in the future.
The 37-year-old remains with TNA through next February, when he becomes a free agent. The company opted to keep him for a third optional year of his contract earlier in 2024.
