“Amazing” N8 Mattson Retires
Michigan’ finest from L to R: Jimmy Jacobs, Truth Martini, N8 Mattson, and Zach Gowen |
Tonight I found that one of the men I respect a lot in the wrestling business and someone I have had the pleasure of talking to and have gotten to know a little bit has retired due to injuries. His journey began on November 24th 1996 and he never looked back. He is one of the all time greatest pro wrestlers ever on any kind of scene.Before I begin talking about his resume here is is a statement Pro Wrestling Insider released:
“N8 Mattson, a long time fixture in the Mid-Western independent scene, announced that he was retiring effective immediately, having wrestled his final match against Kid Hybrid on 12/9. Well liked in that area, Mattson was trained by the Can-Am Wrestling School and was very involved with helping a number of local talents improve and network. He was very influential in the early careers of the Motor City Machineguns as well. Mattson wrote on his Facebook Page that he would be working backstage for Metro Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Ohio but was done as an in-ring performer.”
