Daizee Haze retirement

Daizee Haze career philosophy
I have no desire to get to WWE. I think where women's wrestling is at is where Shimmer's at. I wouldn't want to give my life away to do TNA type stuff. I don't care if I'm rich. I don't care if I make a living off of wrestling. I want to change the women's industry.

Daizee Haze health rumors
