Mike Santana Retires Sami Callihan In TNA Emergence Street Fight

Mike Santana has put an end to Sami Callihan’s career, defeating Callihan in a Street Fight at TNA Emergence. Friday’s event saw Santana pick up the win over Callihan in a Baltimore Street Fight, getting the win with Spin the Block.

Callihan, who had said he would retire if he couldn’t beat Santana, took off his boots and left them in the ring. Assuming the retirement holds true, this puts the capper on an in-ring career that began in 2005 and included an Impact World Title reign and runs in ROH, WWE NXT, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Lucha Underground and MLW. Callihan’s TNA run began in November of 2017.
