Former CZW Heavyweight Champion, Ruckus was initiated by another backyard wrestling legend, Sonjay Dutt over the weekend in New York at the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Hosted by GCW this event commemorates all of the hard work that indie wrestlers have contributed to the great sport of professional wrestling.
Sonjay gave a wonderful speech that included his and Ruckus roots in the backyard. The summary of the speech can be found by following this link.
Ruckus was one of the first success stories of backyard wrestlers who made the jump to the independent circuit. Before making his debut in CZW, Ruckus helped make his backyard wrestling company (HCW Maryland) noticed on the national and international scale. Backyard wrestlers across the globe during the 1990s and 2000s all knew of HCW Maryland, whether it be from their ring plans, Internet clips or home videos.
