Jamie Noble?
 

Early this morning, Jamie Noble contacted WWE.com to reveal his decision to conclude his seven-year career as a WWE Superstar and retire from the squared circle.

The WWE website published the following story today, kayfabely noting Noble made the "regrettable announcement" hours after he was released from the medical facility where he sought treatment for injuries sustained at the hands of Sheamus last week on Raw and after years of nagging shoulder and neck injuries.

"Luckily, the doctors tell me I'm going to recover again," Noble told WWE.com in an article published earlier this week. "But I'm laying here thinkin' about how great my life is with my wife and my son. I'm thinkin', how many more times am I gonna be lucky enough to walk out of the hospital on my own? I'm thinkin' it might be time to hang up my tights and boots."

This past February, Noble suffered a legitimate neck injury when Mike Knox delivered a hard clothesline during a match on Raw. However, the injury was not developed into a storyline and Noble simply disappeared from television for a few weeks.

Always liked him. Bummed to see him leave like that.

James Gibson winning the ROH title is still one of the coolest wrestling moments I have ever seen. Hopefully, he'll end up back there one day.

He's an agent now

worked shoot....

He's been a road agent for a while now.

I always liked Knoble, especially in 2002, 2003 when he was doing his redneck thing.

Wow, clever. It seems like he was set to retire due to a build up of injuries such as the one to Knox so they put him in that match with Sheamus to explain his disappearance plus it adds to Sheamus' character.

If Jamie Noble is taking more of a backstage role, this is a good way to get him there. I love me some Noble, and he's one of the better workers and overall performers in the company, with only his size really holding him back. He has a lot to offer, so hopefully the WWE keeps him around -- even as an occasional on-air character.

Yep. Couldn't agree more.

I don't really care much for wrestling terms. When I think 'worked shoot' I tend to think Russo.

Jamie "BAH GAWD" Noble.

pair him up with Nidia again. that should get the creative juices flowing.


















or other "juices"

Jamie Noble was so cool when he was with Nidia. He actually had some cool turns and such. There was that double-turn with Chuck Palumbo that just seemed so natural, and then there was that time he was feuding with Tajiri (who was a heel along with Kyo Dai, at the time), and after Tajiri blinded Nidia with the Black Mist, Noble started to use her as a weapon of sorts against Tajiri, Akio and Sakoda. Then he would get in her ear straight afterwards and say "It was Tay-jiri's men!" :lol:

that's a badass right there

Awesome

I wish the WWE had turned Jamie Noble into the Jet Li to Vince McMahon's Bob Hoskins, ala "Unleashed."

Jamie Noble would have made a great ROH Pure Champion when they had the title active.

I loved how they wound down the storyline though...

Noble is also the king of wasted storyline potential. Remember when he was Nunzio's cousin? Yeah.

If Noble still wants to wrestle down the line, and they don't have anything for him, put him in a mask and make him The Hurricane's arch-nemesis.
