GCW’s Brett Lauderdale Accused Of Faking COVID Test Results, Advised By Lawyer Not to Comment

GCW owner Brett Lauderdale has responded to allegations that he faked COVID testing results. Independent wrestler “Dirty” Ron McDonald posted to social media on Wednesday and alleged that his “people made over 50 fake COVID test results so [Lauderdale] could runs [sic] shows during the pandemic” from October of 2020 through January of 2021. McDonald shared what appeared to be screenshots of Facebook messenger conversations with Lauderdale as well as what appear to be documents notifying of of negative COVID tests. You can see posts with screenshots of McDonald’s allegations below.

McDonald went off on Lauderdale for his treatment of GCW talent, stating:

“F**k Brett Lauderdale. Brett ran tons of shows during covid bc he GOT US TO MAKE A TON OF FAKE FALSE NEGATIVE Covid-19 tests.

Brett made his money off the backs of guys like Nick Gage while paying him peanuts and “handling” Gage’s social media & bookings.

Who did Brett ever make famous? Joey “I’m a F*****rd” Janela? Joey got famous for being tossed off a building and got a contract. Once AEW realized he had no talent, they benched, and eventually didn’t resign him. Why? Bc he’s a f**kin unsafe dip s**t who can’t light a limb on [fire].

Brett doesn’t get anyone a contract. Brett doesn’t give his wrestlers a raise. How can u be an OUTLAW when you’re suckin Stephanie McMahon’s d**k backstage at WrestleMania on COMPS she gave you?

** ASK Atticus Cooper why he won’t work for Brett
** ASK Mike Gevorgian why he quit working for Brett

Now Brett walks into every town in America and promises all the local indie talent that he can “make them a star,” when he really just underpays them and gets them to cancel their local bookings to get on GCW’s YouTube show. NOW, these indie guys can fly themselves out to get into AEW’s YouTube show and go back to their local promoters and ask for $200/match.

How do the rest of the GCW guys that came up with Brett feel that their $50 – $100 pay days (which were promised to be raised) are now used on guys like JEFF JARRETT and KEVIN NASH while the GCW talent pay for their own rental cars and hotels? Why? Bc f**k Brett Lauderdale.

– I found Brett his first venue in LA
– My people made over 50 fake COVID test results so he could runs shows during the pandemic (Oct 2020 – Jan 2021)
– I paid talent, paid for accommodations, and split some costs so he could bring “his guys” to the LA area 8/8/19, 11/7/19, 10/17/20, and then when I brought them in Sept 2021, Brett told his guys I was “cheap” and they all told me about it in Dec 2021 when I brought them again.
– Brett had my FIST guys pick up Deathmatch stuff, drive wrestlers around, and do everything he needed in the hopes that we would get the “rub” one day to find that we’d been back doored by another “local SoCal school” so the toothless p**sy could get gigs.

F**k Brett Lauderdale. BRETT IS A F**KIN TWAT. He started a Deathmatch promotion that turned into Sesame Street. BRETT LAUDERDALE is just DJ HYDE who was too big of a p**sy to ever step into a ring.”

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reached out to Lauderdale for comment, and he replied saying:

“I’ve referred this matter to my lawyer and as much as I’d like to comment, I’ve been advised not to.”
