Shlak was/is a tattoo artist in Atlantic City, presumably did a lot of ink for AC skinheads/neo-nazis , played shows on bills with neo-nazi bands and there's at least one picture of him with documented white supremacists giving the sieg heil. He can deny whatever he wants, he's AT MINIMUM a Nazi sympathizer.

Shlak stated he rejects all supremacies.

DEFY's champ Artemis Spencer announced at their show tonight that he's participating in their July tournament and will put the title on the line in every match he's in. Janela, La Parka, and Tama Tonga are also in it. I'm looking forward to it nearly as much as going to the Dallas G1 show.

"The real tragedy happened long before I came along"
Back when I was a Tweeter I posted about Shlak being a Nazi and he DMd me to calmly explain he regretted his past and wasn’t that guy any more. So who’s to say what the truth is, beyond the fact that Shlak is a terrible wrestler.

Friends don't shake hands, friends gotta hug!


shlak is, at best, a huge rear end in a top hat and a bad wrestler. im totally willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with the ac skins as a kid, im from atlantic county and literally everyone i knew growing up was like two degrees of separation from them or affiliates. playing in a "ironic" wp band and still apparently palling around with them as an adult is a lot harder to over look, even if it was ten years ago (when he was 30 and way too old to not know better) and since then he's publicly renounced them. but he sucks and he's unsafe and that alone should be enough reason for him to not get booked, let the philadelphia punk scene deal with his "I’m not a Nazi. Just an rear end in a top hat" bullshit.

Even in the Tablet thing, he does that little equivocation of "any kind of supremacy" which isn't that different from "gently caress nazis and gently caress anti-nazis." He's incapable of saying straight up Yo gently caress Nazis. Even if he's just a stupid rear end in a top hat, that degree of stupidity makes one unworthy of other wrestler's trusting you with their bodies.

MLW stuff per PWInsider:

The Savio Vega get was planned for a while but schedules didn't line up. He'll be a player/coach who helps mentor talent while working with them in the ring, ala Fit Finlay in his last years wrestling active in WWE. He's been doing great work as an agent/producer

Sami Callihan's legit done with the company after losing Loser Leaves Town against Mance Warner. Original plan was for him to return under a mask, but he caused damage to the venue during the brawl and kicked a door in earlier, which MLW wasn't happy about after the fact. So that's that

Problem is Joey is his friend who keeps trying to get indies to book a redemption storyline for him and also threaten/blackball people for calling out Shlak

Sami stories always remind me of Jimmy Jacobs' first appearance on Art of Wrestling, where he talked about being a huge mark for all the worst, most antisocial parts of old school wrestling.

There was a brief period where he was AAW champ and I was sorta enjoying him but he's done so much dumb poo poo since then that I have no interest in him.

I finally started coming around on him in PWG right before he signed with NXT, but his work there sucked and it’s been even worse since he left there.

I do like the vibe of OVE and I don’t hate the Crists but Sami is garbage.

I'd second that. I used to listen to the MLW podcast when Konnan was on it. Court always made the first run of MLW sound like it was a much bigger deal than it actually was.

I mean I still acknowledge that he was in my favorite PWG match ever, I just think he's more trouble than he's worth and that he's a tryhard

Yeah, I'd firmly put Sami in the category of decent to good wrestler who occasionally has moments of brilliance. He's just a trash everything else and his wrestling isn't worth having to deal with all that.
