TNA Emergence notes: Star re-signs with company, Sami Callihan, Trick Williams
That’s a wrap for Sami Callihan’s career.
Following a loss to Mike Santana at TNA Emergence on Friday, Callihan took off his boots and laid them in the ring, signifying the end of his career. He had previously stated that if he were to lose the match against Santana, he would retire.
“Everything good in my life is because of wrestling. It’s was a pleasure. On to the next chapter,” he wrote on social media shortly after the match.
Callihan, 37, started wrestling in 2005 and since 2017 has been wrestling for TNA. In recent years he has ventured into promoting, holding shows under The Wrestling Revolver banner.
Earlier in the night, Tommy Dreamer announced that the company was re-signing Lei Ying Lee. A ceremony was held in the ring with Carlos Silva, Jazz, Xia Brookside, and Masha Slamovich also in attendance.
The main event of the show had Trick Williams successfully defend the TNA Championship, defeating Moose. The show went off the air after TNA President Carlos Silva gave Williams the championship, but the audio feed remained on. What could be heard was Santino Marella coming out to announce tomorrow’s tapings and teasing a “big announcement” for Williams during those tapings.
