Velvet Sky (Jamie Szantyr) announced her retirement from pro wrestling. She told WNPR.org that she has returned college and noted that she once postponed college for pro wrestling. “Wrestling has a shelf life,” she said of her decision to postpone college for pro wrestling. “College doesn’t. You can be 50 years old and go to college for your degree. You can’t be 50 years old and train to be a pro wrestler.” Read more at WNPR.org. [Thanks to Dot Net Member Ernesto Cruz]
