Berwyn Police Department Confirms No Stabbing Occurred At RPW Berwyn Eagles Event
On April 9, it was announced that Berwyn Eagles Club in Chicago, IL would no longer hold wrestling events after an alleged stabbing incident on March 28 during a Ruthless Pro Wrestling event.
In the incident, Krule got into a scuffle with a fan, and multiple wrestlers alleged that there was an attempted stabbing. Other wrestlers said that there was no knife involved. The venue lost its license as a result of the incident. Video showed Krule throwing the first punches and then wrestlers jumping on the fan, but no sign of a knife.
According to John Pollock at POST Wrestling, the Berwyn Police Department confirms that no stabbing occurred and the case has been closed.
Detective William Massuci of the Berwyn PD led the investigation after being alerted.
According to POST, “Massuci contacted a person referred to as the manager of Ruthless Pro Wrestling, whose name is redacted. The unnamed manager stated the fan was “causing problems early in the night” and was intoxicated and warned by management to calm down or would be removed.
“The fan agreed to calm down but approached Krule after the show and started causing more issues. The manager states that “the fan ended up attacking his wrestler and tackled him to the ground. The fan continued to punch the wrestler several times. Then the rest of the wrestlers/employees came in to help and got the fan off of him and escorted the fan out of the business.” The manager states that “[Redacted] was not stabbed” in reference to Krule, who isn’t listed by his real name or alias in the redacted version of the report released to us.”

A GoFundMe has been launched to help the owner of the venue as wrestling was the primary source of income.
