Blaire Moise here with some breaking news. I have just received the following statement from Hall of famer, John Sektor:
“When I said I was retiring? I meant it. That hasn’t changed. I know many people are disappointed and upset to hear that but quite frankly? That just means I’ve been doing something right all these years.
I will have more to say to everyone at the end of this weekends show in Colombia.
I know people are angry that I said I’m not going to compete against Arthur Pleasant in this War Games qualifier and I can only apologise.
Which is why I have decided to compete!
I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by the right people at this point in my life and they have all forced me to realise what a travesty to wrestling it would be to allow Arthur Pleasant a free passage to War Games. One of the most prestigious events in wrestling history and I was going to let him get there without earning it?
What was I thinking?
The fans deserve a match and that’s what they will get.
If I can’t beat Arthur Pleasant this time around? Then I’m done and I will retire for good.
But I don’t plan on losing.
On Sunday, I’m going to enter that ring and I am going to dig deeper than I have ever dug before and I am going to leave everything in the ring against Arthur Pleasant. I’m going to shut his fucking mouth for good.
See I have a new goal now. A short term goal. I see myself retiring at War Games. One last War Games where I will put on the performance of my career and call time, with my old trainer Micky by my side.
But Imagine if I won?
One last run as World champion?
Either way, whatever scenario plays out will be the send off I deserve and I am grateful for those in my life who made me see sense.
So put your big boy pants on Arthur. Because this is going to hurt!
– J.Sektor”
So there you have it folks, the Gold Standard isn’t quite done yet. Be sure to tune in on Sunday for what will surely be an explosive show.
