Exclusive Details On Alleged Fan Stabbing Of Krule At Ruthless Pro Wrestling Event

An alleged stabbing took place following the main event of Ruthless Pro Wrestling's OMEGA event on Saturday, March 28 at the Berwyn Eagles Club in Berwyn, Illinois. 

The event saw SHLAK defend the RPW Rustbelt Deathmatch World Championship in a Last Man Standing Match against Krule, who performs for MLW as Mads Krule Krügger.

After the show was over, it was claimed on social media that a fan in attendance at the event stabbed Krule, with a video filmed by TJ DeHaan shared on Facebook by deathmatch wrestler Lou Nixon showing several wrestlers then punching a man, who was the alleged perpetrator of the stabbing, before the individual eventually exited the building. 

Speaking exclusively to Cultaholic Wrestling’s Tom Campbell, Lou Nixon revealed that Krule and the individual who allegedly stabbed him had issues throughout the night. 

"At the start of the show, I was speaking to Krule. Krule told me that the guy went up to the merch stand at the start of the show, started asking Krule how much all his [merchandise] was, and then went, 'I'm not f*cking paying that,' and then walked away," Nixon said.

"This guy was front row during Krule's entrance now. He's like a big monster. He walks around, the guy stepped out the front row and stepped in front of Krule on his entrance and, like, squared up to him. Krule obviously didn't break character and made him look silly, and then during the match I think, like, the guy got knocked out of his seat," Nixon continued.

"The video that you see happens after the show. Now, currently, the guy's went up to Krule's merch table at the end of the show and squared up to him and started going, 'Let's f*cking go then, let's f*cking go,' and then tackled him. In the tackle, that's when he must have shanked him because Krule didn't realise he got stabbed until after." 

Mickie Knuckles, another pro wrestler who worked the RPW show, confirmed to Tom Campbell that Krule and the fan who allegedly stabbed him were staring each other down at the merch table when the fan suddenly tackled Krule across the table.

"It was after the main event. After the show, Krule, SHLAK, and Lou Nixon were out at their gimmick table selling merch, and this fan came up and was just staring down Krule…and so Krule just stared right back at him. Next thing you know, the fan tackled Krule through the table…and while he had him on the ground, he stabbed him in the lower right quadrant of his abdomen. At that point, the boys saw he had a knife, so they just started lighting him up. They didn't want to take the chance of the motherf*cker stabbing them too. They pushed him towards the door. Somebody Spartan-kicked him down the stairs," Knuckles stated.

Krule has confirmed on X/Twitter on Sunday that he is "fine" following the alleged stabbing. Lou Nixon noted to Cultaholic that the former MLW World Heavyweight Champion didn't even realise he had been stabbed until he was sitting at the bar following the incident, at which point he was "patched up." Krule did not have to visit the local hospital, and he was able to get on his scheduled flight.

Mickie Knuckles revealed that local police were already in attendance at the show, and the individual who shouted "Don't kill him!" during the video of several wrestlers attacking the fan was actually a police officer. It is unknown if any arrests have been made following the incident.

"The cops were already there. They had gotten called because somebody, a fan I guess, got hit with a piece of flying debris earlier in the night. So the building wanted to take precautions and call for services. So the cops came to make sure they didn't need medical attention. So the cops were already there. In the video, when somebody says, 'Don't kill him!' that was the cop saying that. The cop even saw the knife, so the guy's really lucky that he didn't go after one of the cops with their guns or somebody else that had been packing. I mean, he stabbed Krule, the biggest, scariest guy in the room…and that guy just stabbed him!" Knuckles added.

It has been claimed on YouTube by Lou Nixon that the perpetrator of the alleged stabbing is connected to the Deathmatch Elite 2.0 Facebook group. The name of the alleged perpetrator has been shared on social media, but we will not be sharing their name here.
