PWInsider.com is reporting that due to the allegations against CHIKARA and owner Mike Quackenbush the promotion will be shutting down. Multiple sources are stating that Quackenbush will also announce he is resigning at the head trainer of the WrestleFactory wrestling academy.
This one hurts. A lot. My overall wrestling fandom has been irrevocably dented. But I’m really grateful for all the real life friends I’ve made and cool things I’ve done and seen because of CHIKARA. It going away is the right decision, and I know it’s roster will excel elsewhere.

Effective Immediately I am resigning from CHIKARA. I gave everything I had to the company, and while I do not believe any of the allegations levied are against me personally. I can not in good conscience continue with this company. Thank you for the years of support.

I have officially resigned from CHIKARA. I am greatful for the time I have spent there and the chance to work with some amazing talents. For the time being I am still reachable through this account for anyone who needs to talk, or needs someone to listen.

Effective immediately I tender my resignation to Chikara. The Wrestle Factory Carolina Dojo will return to being The Carolina Wrestling Academy. I do not condone any actions by the Philadelphia school and will no longer be associated with the brand.

Effective 6/23, I have ended my relationship with both CHIKARA and The Wrestle Factory. These places felt like home since my first adventure as a fan in 2008. I appreciate the great people I've met along the way. To those people, we will stay in touch.
