GCW needs to find a new venue after the Berwyn Eagles Club shut down future wrestling events in the wake of the “stabbing” incident involving Krule. As noted, it was alleged that at Ruthless Pro Wrestling’s show at the Berwyn, Illinois venue on March 28th, a fan attempted to stab the former MLW World Champion. A video on Twitter showed several wrestlers attacking the fan in an attempt to aid Krule, who later said that he was “fine.”

It was reported last week by Fightful Select that a number of people who were at the RPW show didn’t see a knife during the attack. GCW posted to Twitter on Thursday to note that they must find a new venue for their June 20th show as all events at the Berwyn Eagles Club have been cancelled.

Brett Lauderdale further elaborated in a post, calling the attack a “fake stabbing.” He wrote:

This was directly caused by an incident (the fake stabbing) that took place at another promotions event which has caused the town, lawyers & police to be involved.

It’s truly a shame to see the Berwyn Eagles and 20+ years of Chicago wrestling history come to an end like this.

Independent talent Robert ‘Ego’ Anthony also posted to Twitter to note that he followed up with the venue, writing:

“I talked to Chuck at Berwyn. April 24 will be the end of the Eagles Club and wrestling. 22 years ago Berwyn started with AAW and wrestling, and 22 years later it will end with AAW! I’m sad and proud to say I’ll be there for the start and the ending. Let’s send it out right.”

No word as of yet on where GCW will end up landing for their June 20th event.
