Many excellent professional wrestlers who wished to get into the industry and improve their art have found a home in Major League Wrestling. This includes Richard Holliday, who took a medical leave of absence. He has confirmed his free agency status after leaving the company.
Richard Holliday was out of the wrestling ring for several months after announcing in December that he was being treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Richard Holliday stated in February of this year that he had finished his cancer treatment and was on the mend. Naturally, fans were thrilled to learn this.
On April 19, MLW CEO Court Bauer announced that Richard Holliday was a free agent, stating that his contract had expired while Holliday was being treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Holliday finally confirmed his status as a free agent on Twitter today.
I can confirm. I would like to thank Court Bauer and the entire team/locker room at
@MLW A tremendous experience for me lasting nearly 5 years. My first match there was a dark match, and my last was a main event. Thankful for everything in between.
