.....as World Heavyweight Champion.

Heh. Sorry if I made you worry. :P No, I'm not retiring my fursona, character, and fursuit. Though, that thought has crossed my mind at one point. Considering I hadn't had been to a convention in a few years and hadn't been able to fursuit at all. Been too busy trying to get a stable job with decent pay and be able to live on my own, which is more important. So, that's why you hadn't seen any uploads of convention pics in the last few years and any videos on my YouTube page.

Anyways, the reason why Stripedfur is retiring as World Heavyweight Champion is because the belt itself is broken. One of the pieces fell off. I tried to fix it with tape, but it keeps falling off. So, I decided to throw it away. No sense in keeping a broken wrestling belt anyways. Hadn't since 2008 I believe. Had a good run. I want to buy a new one, but WWE doesn't sell those anymore at their shows and when they do. They're extremely expensive. And it's hard to find one where you don't see a WWE logo. Didn't want to get a copyright infringement when a picture of my fursuit is uploaded with it holding a title belt.

So, until then. Stripedfur is a former World Heavyweight Champion and will continue on as a civilian until he can find a way to get it back. If you see me without a wrestling title belt. Here's the reason why. So, that's about it. :)
