Chris Hamrick, a well known jobber from the 90s best known for his spot of flying through the ropes was booked for GCW tonight and decided to start throwing F-slurs at the crowd during his promo, to the point the mic had to be taken from him. He has since apologized for it but not before GCW put out an apology and is using his pay for charity instead. It's bad enough to do it at all, but not even a whole 24 hours removed from the Club Q shooting is f***ing beyond dumb.

Well, f*** that guy. Especially since the replies point out he was also implicated in the Speaking Out stuff.

As I always say, dude prolly has a secret folder of gay porn on his computer that would make even me blush.
Good on GCW for doing what they did, I hope Effy gave him the business backstage before he was kicked out.

Always cringe hearing that this dude's nickname was CONFEDERATE CURRENCY and this is not helping matters at all lmao

Seems like they'd save themselves a ton of bad press by not hiring rapists in the first place, but maybe I just don't get the wrestling business.

I like how his apology started off by saying that it was language he was using IN-CHARACTER ... yeah, ok.

Suggestion: instead of talking about yet another bigoted jackass, let's turn this into a Manders appreciation thread. I watched the show. The man stepped up and did something. Also, that stiff elbow to Hamrick's face was a thing of beauty. I've watched it multiple times.

Things I know about this guy:
-Confederate Currency -Does a stupid bump through the ropes to the floor -Calls people F’s
That’s literally it. I can’t even visualize what he looks like he’s so inconsequential.

I can’t even visualize what he looks like he’s so inconsequential. He was in EZ Money's faction in ECW, and apparently hasn't outgrown the ECW in him. So the show was last night? REALLY bad timing considering the news that day. Not that there's ever a good time to use that language.

Missed it live since I was watching the Cowboys, but I went back and watched it yesterday evening.
Its as bad as it sounds. Hamrick would’ve been wise to just head to the back. Other performers had to basically go through the motions with him there.

About 15 or so years ago I did a tryout for a wrestling training 'school'. I passed, as I'm sure everyone does if you'll pay. So the follow up was to come to a show and setup the ting and do security. It was me and 2 other buddies and a few of the wrestlers setting the ring up, we had no idea what we were doing and I told my buddies if the ring collapses or something I'm heading for the door.
Anyway the part about Hamrick. We did security for the show and Hamrick was in the main event. He did a spot where he fell off the top rope and got his knee caught. He screamed he was hurt and it was a shoot. The promoter came out and tried to get us to call an ambulance. I said man I've seen this spot before I know it's a spot. They kept trying to get us to call the ambulance then gave up and Hamrick jumped up and laid out his opponent like I knew he would. After the show one of the wrestlers told us Hamrick and the promoter were ribbing us to make us deal with making a false 911 call.
