One of the best things to happen during the Covid-19 plandemic was the ability of wrestling companies to continue their operations by holding events in backyards. Though not ideal, this allowed companies and wrestlers to continue to make money and perform for the fans.
One of the most well known events that was hosted in the backyard was also able to continue. Game Changer Wrestling's Backyard Wrestling 4 continued the backyard tradition this past weekend coming to you live on PPV from an undisclosed outdoor location.
Featuring former Backyard Wrestling Link community member Tony Deppen!
One question I have is, are all the participants in the event former backyard wrestlers? I would really like to add more people to the LEGENDS section of this website.

I can vouch for The Iron Demon Shane Mercer, his upbringing is from the backyards as "Diablo" and wrestled over a decade with us out in Kentucky. Several of his early matches from 2006 & so on are featured on our Youtube channel "The Backyards of KY" if you wanna see his beginnings.
