In a heartfelt and historic gesture, Westchester County officially declared May 9, 2025, as “Giovanni Roselli Day,” honoring the Westchester native for his extraordinary contributions to professional wrestling, health and wellness, and his impact on the local community.
The proclamation comes just one day before Roselli’s retirement match at the Westchester County Center—a venue that has been a lifelong symbol of inspiration for him.
The event was highlighted by the presence of County Legislator David Tubiolo, who presented Roselli with the official proclamation in front of family, friends, and supporters. News12 Westchester was also on hand to cover the special occasion, capturing the emotion and significance of the moment for broadcast.
“This is truly an honor,” said Roselli. “To be recognized by the county where I grew up—and just before I have my final match in the building where my dream began—is beyond anything I could have imagined.”
The proclamation recognizes Roselli’s two-decade career in the ring, which has taken him from small-town venues to global arenas, including Madison Square Garden and international championships in Italy. Outside of wrestling, Giovanni has become a respected figure in the fields of wellness, personal development, and entertainment—appearing in film, on television, and inspiring others through coaching and public speaking.
May 9, 2025, will forever mark a celebration of a hometown hero whose journey from dreamer to champion continues to inspire across generations. Roselli’s farewell match takes place Saturday, May 10, at the Westchester County Center—bringing his story full circle, in the very building where it all began.
