The Making Towns Classic Charter Chariot. The fans who surrounded those events were really loving weird, I can say that without hyperbole. When your fanbase is some of the worst, grossest fans on twitter, yeah you get a bad rep.

I will retract calling the company pervos and instead just say they had one of the worst fanbases in indie wrestling.
You've just described every promotion that runs all-women's shows.

Stuttsy is a good guy who has made some mistakes in the past. Those mistakes do not actually include running a prostitution ring as was falsely alleged by Jeff Rudd after he was fired from CWF. Stuttsy did actually deserve to get fired, but the real reason was buddying up with a money mark promoter without doing due diligence on where the money was coming from, when that money was probably coming from some form of identity theft, and letting him run CWF's building with enough of CWF's roster that CWF could be damaged by association if the law ever caught up with that guy. As for the "solicitation", I don't personally think offering to hook your friend who you know is already a sex worker and needs money up with a guy with a lot of cash who hires sex workers is really some reprehensible act. So yeah, Charlie, he's a piece of poo poo, and it you want to judge a booker of a fed that doesn't pay it's workers for getting taken in by a con man flashing lots of money, and trying to get himself and his friends actual paydays, listen, there are things to judge there, he isn't morally innocent, but I don't think that he's who he's made out to be.
This is probably the best post for me to reply to based on how it laid things out, in large part because this is more or less my understanding of what happened. While I was not one of the people sent the CWF statement, what others who got it told me was that, after the statement, the email also included something to the effect of "OFF THE RECORD: Brad was totally doing sex trafficking, BTW." All of this is compounded by the fact that the Torch article had the opposite effect of what was intended. But it doesn't seem like there's any evidence of the main thing that caused the public unraveling.

Fair play to Eddie Kingston.

Fans can ascribe an inordinate amount of forethought to matches and stuff.

But a lot of wrestlers want to be taken seriously but when they do by fans they act like complete dicks regardless of whether their work was interpreted accurately or inaccurately.

He's also willing to look like a total goof when needed, as we saw in the Urban Wrestling Federation. Kingston rules and I hope he gets his moment in the sun before he retires.

Awhile ago John Thorne said he thinks Matt Justice became legitimately self destructive after he didn't get hired off of his NXT tryout (he had a developmental deal back in the Deep South days). I think he’s probably right.

quote:

“I understand people see this old-rear end picture and it makes them feel a certain way about me, and I know in the opinion of some people I’ve done a lovely job of clarifying my feelings about this topic,” Shlak says. “I’m a stubborn hardcore wrestler from the inner-city, and sometimes I don’t handle adversity the way I should. I’m sorry that I haven’t been more clear. I hung around stupid people a long time ago without thinking about how it would affect me or other people down the road. For the record, I am not a Nazi, I do not support Nazi poo poo, I’ve never been one and I will never be one. White supremacy is bullshit, along with every other supremacy.”

NYC indie wrestler Matt Travis passed away early today after a traffic accident

Fresh Like Zafo
May 31, 2012



It seems like he was a victim of a hit and run by a dump truck making an illegal turn while Matt was on his bike. The 27th bike rider to die this year.

Cyclists getting killed by reckless rear end drivers here in New York is a problem. I really hope they find the rear end in a top hat who did it.

Matt was super talented—as charismatic and as good a flyer as both members of Private Party, but in a completely different way—and an incredibly nice guy, too. This loving sucks.

His cage match with Ken Broadway to blow off their feud at the 2018 House of Glory year end show was the best indie cage match I've ever seen and well worth going out of your way to watch, as it's a great showcase for everything he was able to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXsFc1n3VG8
