RSP Issues Statement On Alleged Stabbing Incident At Bewryn Eagles Club

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.

RSP (Rickey Shane Page) is a co-owner RPW, and he issued the following statement on Tuesday:

For those of you asking me to make a statement, as I said when interviewed by BLVD Bullies last week, before I left for a planned vacation, I didn’t witness the incident in person. I was on the other side of the room and while I knew there was some sort of commotion, my view of the incident was obstructed. I apologize if my tone came off as dismissive.

I did not become a co-owner of RPW until after the “Omega” event. Because of this, I am not involved or privy to any investigations or details of those investigations. I have not contributed to the current narrative regarding the incident. Any implication that it was somehow a “work” or “storyline” is patently false. Check the sources.

I have remained in contact with the management at Berwyn Eagles and have offered to assist them in any way to make sure that they are able to continue their legacy of hosting the wrestling shows Chicago deserves. I look forward to continuing working with them in any capacity going forward.

Thank you.

On Monday, the Berwyn Police Department confirmed that no stabbing occurred and the case has been closed.

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