Based on his recent Twitter posts, it appears as though former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann plans on retiring from professional wrestling in the near future. He sent out the following Tweets:

Damn i lost the dream job. Well even though im gonna be blown up as fuck i cant wait to wrestle again

Swann also had an interesting exchange on Twitter with independent talent Nick Gage, who is best known for his work in Combat Zone Wrestling. As some fans may be aware, back in 2011, Gage pleaded guilty to armed robbery and was sentenced to five years in prison, but was let out on parole in April of 2015. He was re-incarcerated after violating his parole, and was released again in November of 2016.

Swann sent out the following Tweet, apparently taking a shot at Gage:

Oh we cant a accused person on our show....oh lets get this bank robber on lol

difference is that robbing a bank is a victimless crime and he actually served time whereas you abused your wife and skated because she didn’t press charges
