It sucks that he's having to retire at the age of 26. I can't fault his reasoning for doing so. I wish him the best in his post-wrestling life.

I feel like Lio's experiences with ROH and WWE may have jaded him a bit with wrestling. With him being as young as he is those experiences combined with injuries and having a family may have ked to other interests and passions he wants to pursue.
Good luck to Lio, maybe one day he will get the itch to perform again

He had a nice showing at AEW's Double Or Nothing and he was good on NJPW Strong. Really sucks to see him have to retire, but shoulder injuries are no joke.

I’m going to assume he does come back at some point. Didn’t he also retire right after his WWE release?

Greg Hamilton weighed in on a now deleted tweet: ![](https://i.redd.it/814cc19pr7471.png)

Genuine question because I've been out of the WWE loop for a few years:
Who the hell is Greg Hamilton?

Genuine question because I've been out of the WWE loop for a few years: Who the hell is Greg Hamilton? Apparently the smackdown ring announcer? I'll say this, Lio has made mistakes in his career most of which I put to him being insanely young, but he burned bridges. That being said Hamilton should have probably not even said something

Greg Hamilton sure talked some shit about representing DIS BIZNESS for someone who doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.
At least he admitted he was wrong.

Greg Hamilton was about this close to Willie Urbinaing himself out of a job. Pretty smart to walk that shit back.

I liked Lio's douchebag heel character on MLW. Best of luck to him on healing up in his retirement. Genuine question because I've been out of the WWE loop for a few years: Who the hell is Greg Hamilton? The ring announcer who looks like Jeremy Borash and says "KEVIN....AAAAH-OOOOOWENNNNNNNSSSSSS!"

Normally I'd respect someone copping to being wrong, but sometimes someone's apologizing for showing off their true self and every attempt they make to pile on praise and respect afterward comes off as massively hollow.

Yeah, I'm guessing that Greg didn't really have a moment of reflection here, he said what he said, he's bought into this "money or nothing" attitude that is all the WWE has going for them, and I'm guessing he's learned nothing, the company just made him walk it back. I don't know what the beef he has with Lio is, all I know is that Lio has gone out of his way the last 2 years to correct a lot of the ego issues he's had when he was breaking in, so it's hard to give a guy a break when he himself adds almost nothing to the product.

I hate asking yet another question in a thread, but what did Lio do that burnt so many bridges?
Was he just a young and brash shithead who flew too close to the sun? Or did he do something really heinous?
Because as young as he is, you have to cut some slack to an extent if you're in your early 20's and making a name for yourself already. Reality hasn't set in to temper you, yet. He seems to have grown up, so if that's the case, I think everyone should probably take a step back and find some forgiveness.

I mean, I guess good on him for for that, but that shithead post to start it was so fxxxing unnecessary. Also, I don’t believe a word of that apology, comes off as “Oh shit, I really have to save face!”
