Reason for Rick Majors' Retirement

Though publicly Rick Majors is saying the reason for his retirement is primarily due to him wanting to spend more time with his wife, our sources indicate that his numerous injuries are in fact the main cause.

It seems that Majors aggravated his neck injury just before Slamfest. That may explain the reason for the fourway main event and the "suspension" angle following the show. Did NLCW officials want to reduce the amount of time Majors spent in the ring due to his injury?

Apparently Majors became terrified at the prospect of being paralyzed by his injury and decided to walk away from the ring while he still could.

Also, his retirement will likely be a permanent one. He does not seem interested in returning to the ring anytime soon. Majors, however, does still have two years remaining on his NLCW contract, so don't be surprised if you see him turn up in another capacity for the company, either on camera or behind the scenes.
