WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi announced that he is leaving the KnokX Pro wrestling school, a school he helped establish in 2009.
Located in Sun Valley, California, the school is headed by Reno “Black Pearl” Anoa’i, with Rikishi also involved in running of the operations of the school and promotion.
“Love and respect KnokX Pro Entertainment & Academy. As I take my leave, I appreciate your understanding and respect for my decision to rest now,” Rikishi wrote.
During WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, the school set up a ring outside the Treasure Island hotel on the strip and hosted free meet and greets.
The school was affiliated with WWE ID but its credentials were revoked following Raja Jackson’s attack on Syko Stu which made headlines for all the wrong reasons last year.
