ACH quits wrestling, continues tweets

Due to the length of this story, it was separated from the main post:

ACH continued making tweets about various relevant situations:
- Tweet 1 on leaving ROH, which he says was due to Delirious leaking a meeting between the two parties to wrestling news sites.

- Tweet 2, Tweet 3, Tweet 4, and Tweet 5 discussing getting physical with Jay Lethal over ACH using the N word. ACH says Lethal publicly slapped him and ACH returned the favor, but was then told to apologize. ACH says he did apologize but Lethal did not. Tweet 5 also says he's OK mentally and continues an earlier theme of having a crush on WWE's Kayla Braxton, which puts Braxton in a really awkward position. 

- Tweet 6 about the T-shirt incident, saying he submitted a different design that wasn't approved due to the "smiling" shirt being the one Triple H wanted to go with. 

- Tweet 7 and Tweet 8 are about his issues with Jay Lethal, with ACH saying he lost respect for Lethal over that incident. 

- Tweet 9 and Tweet 10 are more about the Lethal physicality, with ACH saying Lethal hit him for not finding it funny that ACH referred to someone as "my (N word)"

- Tweet 11 and Tweet 12 further defend his response to the NXT T-shirt design. 

- Tweet 13 continues the message from Tweets 9 and 10. Tweet 14 adds the allegation that Lethal also used the word regularly. I see why Lethal hasn't responded to all this.

- Tweet 14 reiterates that ACH doesn't feel that he needs help and continues to hit on Kayla Braxton.

- There were a number of tweets after this with ACH responding to comments he was "playing the race card."

- Tweet 15 is again about ACH feeling he doesn't need help.

After a few more tweets continuing to respond, Tweet 16 has ACH announce he hates wrestling nd that he's quitting immediately, canceling all scheduled shows. Tweet 17 continued to blame the fans for their responses to him. Notably before this he was discussing his goals to work in NJPW, and naming opponents he wants to work with. 

After these tweets, MLW removed all references to ACH from their website and stated that they respect his decision. 

I don't know what ACH needs to be in the best possible place emotionally, mentally, and professionally, but I really, really hope he gets it, and soon. He's a talented young athlete with a significant amount of potential, and this isn't how anyone wants to see him. 

More wrestling coming up.
