Former TNA Knockout Velvet Sky has announced her retirement from pro wrestling. Sky (real name Jamie Szantyr) will be returning to college at Post University in Waterbury, CT in hopes of becoming a personal trainer.
In an interview with WNPR.org, Sky said, “Wrestling has a shelf life. College doesn’t. You can be 50 years old and go to college for your degree. You can’t be 50 years old and train to be a pro wrestler.”
She continued, “I’m in really, really good physical condition, still, and my health is great. And I want to keep it that way. I had a really satisfying 15-year wrestling career, so I went back to school because I got to live out my wrestling dream.”
Velvet Sky began wrestling back in 2003 and made her TNA debut back in 2007. During her 10-year run with the promotion, she won the Knockouts Championship twice. She is currently a trainer at the Danbury, CT location of Bully Ray and D-Von’s Team 3D Academy and plans to continue training the next generation of aspiring pro wrestlers.
