New Japan Pro Wrestling superstar and one-half of The Forever Hooligans tag team Alex Koslov took to his Twitter account today to announce that he was taking a much-needed indefinite sabbatical from professional wrestling, admitting that he didn’t want to state that he was retired.
Koslov also noted that he gave his three month notice to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
I am hesitant to say I'm retiring from pro wrestling, but I am taking a much needed indefinite sabbatical to focus on my life.
