William Berry passed along the following:

Last night at a USWA event here in Jacksonville, Jesse Neal announced to those in attendance that it was his last appearance in the USWA. He stated that he had a family now (he has a child on the way) and other projects that he wanted to devote time to.

The sentiment by those in attendance was that he was retiring after fulfilling his bookings. He was in tears as he walked up the aisle following his final match in the USWA and the crowd started a chant of “Thank you Jesse”.
