Florida Wrestling Empire Not Paying Talent?: Duke Loves Rasslin Week 450

Season 8, Ep. 450

This week on Duke Loves Rasslin', we dive headfirst into the controversy engulfing Florida Wrestling Empire (FWE). Allegations of unpaid wrestlers and backstage personnel have rocked the Florida independent scene, and we've got exclusive interviews with three key figures:

  • - Wrestler Josh Breezzyy (JoshBreezzy.Com) will give us the in-ring talent perspective on what's happening with FWE, including being stiffed on multiple payouts!
  • - Michael El Reyy, the owner of the ring booked for a recent FWE event, will shed light on the belief the event was canceled out of fear of not having El Reyy's ring rental money.
  • - Finally, we'll hear directly from Tyler, the owner of FWE. Will he address the accusations? Is there a pattern of bad business practices?
  • - Don't miss this explosive episode as we answer all your burning questions about the FWE financial woes!
