In a heartfelt message to fans, Marko Stunt, the former AEW and GCW high-flyer and Jurassic Express dynamo, has officially announced his retirement from professional wrestling. The 28-year-old, known for his gravity-defying moves and unwavering spirit, shared the bittersweet news on X, reflecting on a decade-long journey that saw him rise from the indie circuit to sharing the ring with wrestling giants.
“To my fans, friends, and the wrestling community,” Stunt began. “Today, I write this with a heavy yet grateful heart as I announce my retirement from professional wrestling.” Stunt described wrestling as his life’s biggest passion and expressed gratitude for the moments that have defined his career, adding that his doctor advised him to focus on his long-term health. “Over the years I’ve given my body up to professional wrestling,” he wrote, alluding to the toll taken by a sport where his stature often had him on the receiving end of larger opponents. “Accepting this reality has been one of the toughest moments of my career, but I know it is the right decision.”
Fans and wrestlers alike have flocked to offer their support, reminiscing about his time as part of Jurassic Express with Jungle Boy Jack Perry and Luchasaurus. His dynamic energy and underdog spirit brought a unique flavor to AEW, even as he became less involved with the team in later years.
With 10 years in the ring, Stunt says goodbye with a legacy that proves you don’t need to be the biggest to make a big impact.
