John Finegan, who was the head official for the original ECW and one hell of a referee, announced he would be retiring this Spring.
On his Facebook, Finegan announced:
"Well the time has come.
I will be reffing my final two shows ever in 2025.
March 22 in Morganville NJ at The 2025 Super 8 and May 3rd for TWA’s One and Done at the world famous ECW Arena!
ECWA has been the last promotion I’ve been reffing for the past 12+ years and TWA was the first full time promotion I reffed for back in the late 80’s.And to top it all off TWA’s One and Done will take place in the building where I made a name for myself during the Legendary ECW days!!
After 38 years of doing something I dreamed about when I was a little 5 year old kid watching Saturday morning wrestling with my grandmom.I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye to the business I love!!
Thank you pro wrestling for allowing me to be apart of your world and thank you to the greatest fans of any sport there is for welcoming me into something you love as much as I do!!
See you all at the matches!!"
Anyone who has dealt with John over the years can attest he's one of the classiest people to be around in pro wrestling.
PWInsider.com sends Finnegan and his family all the best.
