What happened to Reckless Youth? He was the first Indy guy I remember reading about in the Apter mags all the time in the mid-90's. Then shortly after Chikara formed, he disappeared.

From the early 2000s Ontario Indies. Hacker. I remember he came to the ring with a laptop and his gimmick was he was an internet Hacker. I'd say Tyson Dux as well but I believe he was in the Cruiserweight Classic ?

Whatever happened to Prince Nana and Jimmy Rave? Rave still wrestles, mainly for CZW. He also has a tendency to message random fans on Facebook claiming that he badly needs surgery and is looking for money. He offers shirts and dvds for sale, gets paid for them, and the items then never materialize.

I always come to Human Tornado. This guy would have been an absolute treat if he got to NXT. What did happen to him?

You’d think the Crown Jewel of the Embassy could get better care in Ghana

Christian York; He seemed like he could be a big deal but petered out wherever he went.

The thing seemed odd, but I accepted it at face value. Something happened though, and I never sent anything. A few months later, I was reminded of it when a Facebook friend posted that he'd been ripped off by him.

I know that Rave has had issues with drugs and alcohol in the past and this comes across as someone resorting to awful things to get his fix.

Christian York; He seemed like he could be a big deal but petered out wherever he went. It's weird with him being he was known to be partners all over with Joey Mathews until Joey got signed by WWE. York just never got much of a chance, he floated all over the indies than randomly in 2013 shows up in Impact. Had a bunch of good outings than was gone again. He hasn't wrestled since 2018. I guess maybe he not getting anywhere and in his 40s now, that he just retired.

Christian Von Eerie went from wrestling on TNA, Shimmer, and other indies, to mostly just wrestling in Canada part-time in the last few years.

Another random thought, remember when Rickey Reyes was supposed to be the next break out star on the indies? There was a time he was hyped up with guys like Davey Richard as a future world champ. I realize he popped up in Lucha Underground but the guy had a lot of hype and went off the grid for awhile.
Pretty much any member of the Naptown Dragons not named Drake Younger... though aside from xOMGx that was all pretty much attitude and drug related.
Honestly there are quite a few names that many thought would be big that sabotaged their own careers or just got injured at the wrong time

Whatever happened to Prince Nana and Jimmy Rave? Nana is retired and from what I understand mostly does web seminars for aspiring wrestlers and managers. Also he's trying to publish a wrestling book (he once posted "PM and ask me anything about wrestling" on his FB page. I did, got a very general answer and an immediate link to his GoFundme page for said book).
