John Chapman has posted the following on AWA UK’s website.
“Thanks to all the Fans who have been supportive of me and my Efforts with the AWA (UK). However, I decided last week, I am retiring from Wrestling Promoting. The simple truth is, I just don’t have the time to run the UK end of the AWA anymore to do it justice. I already have a full time position with my normal day job, not to mention being a single parent, that alone takes up a lot of time.
I started to run shows as enjoyment, but recently, the simple truth is I am not enjoying it anymore.
First and foremost, I am a wrestling Fan, but I have to prioritise what is more important. I have a very lucrative full time job, and I can’t jeopardise that – not to mention being away from my daughter when dealing with Wrestling. Therefore, from this point forward, with the spare time I have, I will personally be part of Sanjay Bagga’s LDN team.
Good luck to the other UK promoters of whom I have done business with, and also a special thank you to Dan Edler.
See you all at the shows,
Thanks
John”
