Dexter Hardaway Says Goodbye To Pro Wrestling
Posted: Aug 9th 2010 By: mikeiles
Last Thursday I announced my retirement from the world of pro wrestling on Facebook, and today I want to take this time to thank all of those people that helped me out along the way or allowed me to help them in their quest to become better pro wrestlers. The 2 people I owe the most thanks to would be # 1, my mom, because if it wasn't for her help and support I would have never gotten into the sport and # 2, I met the most wonderful person and life partner through this business my wife, Amanda Jones, thank you for always supporting me with love and encouragement.

Well there you have it folks my final goodbye's I think I covered just about anyone who meant anything to me and like I said in my Facebook post anyone I left off the list can piss off mate!!!!!!
In closing I just want to that I had a lot of fun doing what I did for almost 13 years and unlike most I can say that each time I performed I gave 100% to my in ring work and more importantly to my fans and for that I am very proud. It's time to move on now and remember all the good times and not dwell or be bitter about all the bad, because believe me the good greatly outweighs the bad.
So again thank you to my family, friends, and co-workers who I have spent the better part of most of my life with and thank you to each and every one of my fans that supported me all these years as well I did it for you so you could have a good time and forget all you problems in life.
Best wishes to all-
Steven Jones
