Independent promotion Chikara is closing down.

Mike Quackenbush, the promoter of the promotion and several others from the company have been accused of abuse allegations in the current #SpeakingOut movement. 

He posted the following statment:

“I have been made aware of recent allegations about myself, and people in my employ.

I take all allegations seriously – whether they are about me, or members my team.

Addressing these with openness and transparency is of the utmost importance to me. So these matters can be given the proper time and attention, I am discontinuing CHIKARA and resigning as head trainer at the Wrestle Factory.

I’ll make a full statement on these matters in the near future.”
