This is the first time in 23 years I’ve questioned whether I still got it or not. For the last 2 years my life has been hell, and even warriors & champions get worn and tired from battles and adversity. Is there anything left and if so how much? Right now I’m on fumes and broken.
Last night I was standing in the locker room when Kat said "Derek needs help" I went to ring to see Derek covered in most blood I've ever seen in my 23 years in this business. I made the call to go out front, coaching a bloody and blind Derek on getting out of the building all Derek said is get me a camera. In the dark we lit him with our phones. Duck said 3 words... "Alright Derek, go". This is what Derek said.

Max Zero showed up to our Super Middleweight Grand Prix without a booking and asked for a tryout.
There was one problem: he was way too big for the Super Middleweight Grand Prix.
But he was tall, he was handsome, he was standing right there, and we had Jeffrey John available to get beaten up.
Ensuring Jeffrey’s demise was always one of our favorite hobbies. So we gave Max a match.
He made sure it wasn’t his last.
And when Max hit the Eddie Money Driver, somebody was going home tonight.
Max kept coming back for UWFi Rules fights and tournament matches. At Heavy Hitters 4, he fought through the field and won the whole thing. Then he became the Heavy Hitters Champion.
The guy we hadn’t booked became one of the people who defined the division. That’s a pretty good return on a tryout.
Paradigm made room for people who showed up and gave us a reason to keep booking them. Max Zero walked in uninvited and earned his place at show 150.
MAX ZERO returns at MIDLIFE CRISIS on Friday, November 20 at the Jeffersonville Arena.

In memory of PAC.
On May 4, 2007, PAC faced El Generico in the first round of #wXw16Carat Gold in Essen, Germany.
We're making this match available for FREE on YouTube as we remember PAC and his time in wXw.
📺 youtu.be/vrxAM5Gm_FQ
Rest in peace, PAC.

This is what it’s all about! 🙏🏾
Bringing people together, sharing ideas, creating opportunities, and building relationships that last beyond one weekend.
I believe we can create a healthier, more connected independent wrestling ecosystem. And weekends like this remind me that it’s possible.
@BrussHamiltonGB really impressed ‼️

Was very thankful for this. Even at 23 yrs in this sport you never stop learning, and looking to better yourself. 🤘

It was great seeing so many young ambitious talents on this Recruitment Event in Atlanta last weekend. @DerekNealPro being an outstanding veteran, @_JTParadox with the most impressive explosive movement of the action, @GPAthinks being super solid and in the end everybody going crazy for @BrussHamiltonGB - keep an eye on all of them.
Big Thank you to @TheJonGresham for the invitation!

Derek Neal comes to us from Bowling Green, Kentucky.
He’s a working man who never has trouble finding a good reason to kick somebody’s ass.
When he entered our first Heavy Hitters tournament, he came in as the champion of a rival promotion. He didn’t ask for special treatment. He was content to fight whoever we put in front of him.
He wrestled under UWFi Rules, fought his way through so many of our tournament fields, and faced just about every kind of wrestler we could put in front of him.
Some nights he won. Some nights he lost. Every time he stepped through that curtain, he made somebody earn it.
Derek Neal is the embodiment of Paradigm toughness. He never backed down, and after years of fighting his way through this roster, he’s earned his place at our 150th show.
DEREK NEAL returns at MIDLIFE CRISIS on Friday, November 20 at the Jeffersonville Arena.
