Check out my latest post on Substack. On its 25th anniversary I deep dive into The Rock v Stone Cold from WrestleMania 17. Thank you to @IVPvideos who was in attendance for their live perspective @ITRWrestling_ @Inside_TheRopes @BensonRichardE descriptivedan.substack.com/p/squared-circ…

Lou Nixon has detailed to Cultaholic's @TomCampbell the events that led to the alleged stabbing of Krule by a fan at a Ruthless Pro Wrestling event. "At the start of the show, I was speaking to Krule. Krule told me that the guy went up to the merch stand at the start of the show, started asking Krule how much all his [merchandise] was, and then went, 'I'm not f*cking paying that,' and then walked away. "This guy was front row during Krule's entrance now. He's like a big monster. He walks around, the guy stepped out the front row and stepped in front of Krule on his entrance and, like, squared up to him. Krule obviously didn't break character and made him look silly, and then during the match I think, like, the guy got knocked out of his seat. "The video that you see happens after the show. Now, currently, the guy's went up to Krule's merch table at the end of the show and squared up to him and started going, 'Let's f*cking go then, let's f*cking go,' and then tackled him. In the tackle, that's when he must have shanked him because Krule didn't realise he got stabbed until after." Mickie Knuckles, another pro wrestler who worked the RPW show, confirmed that Krule was stabbed in the abdomen. "It was after the main event. After the show, Krule, SHLAK, and Lou Nixon were out at their gimmick table selling merch, and this fan came up and was just staring down Krule…and so Krule just stared right back at him. Next thing you know, the fan tackled Krule through the table…and while he had him on the ground, he stabbed him in the lower right quadrant of his abdomen. At that point, the boys saw he had a knife, so they just started lighting him up. They didn't want to take the chance of the motherf*cker stabbing them too. They pushed him towards the door. Somebody Spartan-kicked him down the stairs."
