Charlie Haas Retires

[Castiel]

Officially retired. No match against (Shelton Benjamin) next week NYC. Time to be a full time dad and husband. I've turned my spandex in for scrubs

- From his Twitter.

His last match tonight was a loss to Jeff Lewis Neal. Wasn't a fan of his "you know what pisses me off?" gimmick but he had some great moments, especially his impersonations back in 2007(?). Would've been really nice for him to go out facing Benjamin, no clue why he couldn't wait for that. Reports say he was visibly crying in the ring during his last promo.

I'll believe it after next weekend.

Ok so he can't wait one more week to retire against Benjamin?

Word is a lot went down backstage at the show leading to all this. This may not be an angle....

It does seem like something had to be going on behind the scenes for something like this. I'm buying it. PWI says it's legit:

For those who have asked, we are told the Charlie Haas retirement announcement was legitimate, not an angle devised for ROH's storylines.
