Police confirm no stabbing occurred at Berwyn Eagles Club

The strangest wrestling story this year has apparently come to a close.

Police have confirmed that there was no stabbing at the Berwyn Eagles Club in March. John Pollock of POST Wrestling acquired the Berwyn Police Department incident report through a Freedom of Information request. 

After a March 28 Ruthless Pro Wrestling Show at the Eagles club, reports began to surface that a fan had stabbed a wrestler known as Krule, or Mads Krule Krugger. “The first video to emerge saw wrestlers and fans attacking the fan and removing him from the building,” Pollock writes. “Subsequent clips revealed the fan approaching Krule at his merchandise table after the show, and Krule throwing the first punches before the fan was swarmed. The video did not show any sign of a weapon.”

Pollock then shared one clip of the incident. 

The incident report was written by Detective William Massuci of the Berwyn Police Department, who contacted the manager of RPW, whose name was redacted in the report. (Pollock adds that the March 28 show was the last under Chris Kohlenberg, and that the promotion is now being run by “Rickey Shane Page, SHLAK, and Dred.”)

“The unnamed manager stated the fan was ‘causing problems early in the night’ and was intoxicated and warned by management to calm down or would be removed,” Pollock writes.

“The fan agreed to calm down but approached Krule after the show and started causing more issues. The manager states that “the fan ended up attacking his wrestler and tackled him to the ground. The fan continued to punch the wrestler several times. Then the rest of the wrestlers/employees came in to help and got the fan off of him” and escorted the fan out of the building.

The unnamed manager stated that “[Redacted] was not stabbed” in reference to Krule, who isn’t listed by his real name or alias in the redacted version of the report.

Krule was then contacted at the airport on his way home. He reportedly told Det. Massuci that “Some guy was causing problems all night and came up to him at the end of the night and struck him several times and tackled him to the ground. His peers then got the fan off of him and took matters into their own hands.”

“The Berwyn Police Department has closed the case, stating there was no stabbing and that the wrestler doesn’t want to pursue any criminal complaints,” Pollock writes.

As a result of the incident, the Berwyn Eagles Club has announced that it will not be booking any future pro wrestling events, citing license issues; the last wrestling there will be an AAW Wrestling show on April 24. 

A GoFundMe site has been launched to keep the Berwyn Eagles Club in business.
