Jamie Noble retires – November 10th, 2009
Jamie Noble is one of the most underappreciated midcarders from the Ruthless Aggression Era. On the morning of November 10th, 2009, Jamie Noble suddenly announced his retirement from the ring due to niggling injuries. The announcement came just over a week after his match against Sheamus on Monday Night RAW.
Noble spoke to WWE.com and discussed the injury:
"When Sheamus powerbombed me on the floor, he compressed my neck and shoulders real bad. It always seems to be my neck. I'm laying here and I still have headaches, and the back of my skull is sore.
"Luckily, the doctors tell me I'm going to recover again. 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."
Noble has since transitioned into a backstage role in WWE as a producer and road agent. He was a part of Seth Rollins sceurity team in 2014, J&J Security, along with Joey Mercury.
