Parker is choosing to step away.
After a TNT Extreme show, Drew Parker grabbed a microphone and spoke to the audience in attendance. He recapped his journey through wrestling and all that he’s been able to accomplish.
Parker highlighted his death match career; competing in Japan for BJW and Pro Wrestling FREEDOMS. He said he’s never had the desire to go to WWE, IMPACT or AEW. He feels there’s nothing left for him to do and with that, he’s retiring from pro wrestling.
