Hoosier Pro Wrestling in Columbus, Ohio kicked off their 20th year promoting
events on 1/6, headlined by HPW champion Kenny Cage beating Dillen Swango.
Underneath, Flash Flanagan defeated Butcher Manson.
Flanagan a former OVW and IWA Puerto Rico champion, has talked quite a bit about 2018 being his final in-ring year. On Facebook, Flanagan wrote, "They say nothing lasts forever and all I ever wanted to be in life was a professional wrestler. Life isn’t always fair and it’s never easy but I got to live my dream. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do but this is probably going to be my last year entertaining you guys. I’ve had many friends tell me they were going to retire and I’d just tell them you you never retire you just take time off but as of now this will be my last year unless I get that spark in me I once had. I’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone that has bought a ticket and seen me perform because I’ve always tried giving you your money’s worth whether you liked me or not. I love you guys because without the fans were nobody out there. Maybe I’ll change my mind but if I don’t I hope to see everybody one last go around this year."
Flanagan has been wrestling since 1992 under the Flanagan name and appeared in the early days of TNA as Slash Venom. He's had a long journeyman career appearing everywhere from WWE to IWA Puerto Rico and about every independent in the mid-west that you can think of. When he does retire, that will be the end of an era.
