WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Morton announced on his Facebook page that he is closing his wrestling school, the “School of Morton,” located in Newport, Tennessee, after 11 years of operation. While Morton did not provide a specific reason for the closure, it is noteworthy that the school had recently moved to a new building in the city just eight months ago.
Morton wrote, “Closing My School of Morton Wrestling School – Newport, TN
I wanted to let everyone know that I’ve officially decided to close down my wrestling school in Newport, TN.
I’m grateful for everyone who supported it, trained there, or believed in what we were building. Thank you for the memories. The amount of successful talent that came out of the wrestling school speaks for itself. 11 years strong!
On to the next chapter. It’s a good one!”
Morton also tagged the NWA in the post.
