The Natural Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Alex Coughlin retired. NSFW: Spoiler https://twitter.com/AlexCoughlin93/status/1771738988732199148 Bloody hell. I liked Alex Coughlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Otto Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Very sad news to hear. I loved Coughlin. An absolute beast. I truly think he had limitless potential, and he was well on his way. That being said, being rational enough to realize how his debilitating injuries would impact his quality of life (or even worse, to be honest) and to make such an agonizing decision to finally let go of his dream is sad, yes, but far more than that, admirable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Monday Morning Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Alright well today was fun as I got to chalk off Korakuen from the bucket list and see a super fun DDT show (April Fool). I might honestly have preferred it to Sakura Genesis, the much more laid back and fun vibe was a treat. I'm not sure if they showed the pre-show match but there were some...interesting characters in there. Oh and Big Hash is the TRUTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
