Former WWE Referee Drake Wuertz Allegedly Fights John Wayne Murdoch In Parking Lot At GCW NGI9

Real fights went down at Game Changer Wrestling, according to two DeathMatch alumni.

Drake Wuertz vs. JWM

GCW’s NGI9 took place in Orlando, Florida Saturday night. John Wayne Murdoch, participant in the tournament, lost in the first round to Sawyer Wreck. But, apparently that wasn’t the only scuffle he was in last night. Former WWE referee and DeathMatch wrestler Drake Wuertz aka Drake Younger, has claimed that he fought John Wayne Murdoch in the parking lot of GCW’s event.

Drake was not on the show, and has no ties to GCW. But, according to a Facebook video he posted, he allegedly showed up to the event and in his words got in JWM’s face and “gave him a couple two piece and a biscuit.” Drake went on to say that John wouldn’t keep his name out of his mouth and he’s sorry it had to happen, but he’s not going to be pushed around anymore.

Drake is clearly sweating and visibly breathing heavy as he walks around outside in the video, which you can see here. Drake went on to praise JWM, saying he’s so talented and can do this wherever he wants, but, he continues to be a “little bitch” and it “had to get handled old school, tonight.” Wuertz went on for six minutes in the video talking. He says he didn’t do it on camera or in front of the people, just handled it in the back. Drake apologized to the likes of Parrow, Brett Lauderdale, Mance Warner, Jimmy Lloyd but it “had to happen.”

Then, early this morning, DeathMatch legend Necro Butcher, who goes by his real name D.K. Summers, took to his Facebook to thank Drake, saying “Thank you, Drake Wuertz I can think of no other wrestler who has taken more money from other wrestlers familes than that guy. Not to mention how many guys he has sent to the hospital. It needed done a long time ago. It’s just a sign of the morally corrupt world we live in that he even exists in our business. Thank you. I love you .” (Spelling mistakes are his own.)

In the comments, Necro posted “There’s a wrestler whose name I don’t mention , because that’s what he wants. That spreads lies about other wrestlers, contacts promoters and offers to wrestle cheaper than the competition, refuses to appear on cards with people he has lied about, seriously injured other young wrestlers just to get himself over,has a fixation with exaggerating about and making jokes about others personal problems and is basically a rotten person. All to protect his position on the card. Drake finally got tired of his shit. Long overdue.” You can see the full Facebook post here.

John Wayne Murdoch has recently replied in the comments of a private “DeathMatch Elite 2.0” Facebook page to say “You can believe what you want, but this didn’t happen! Attacking someone from behind is bitch behavior. I eat his punches like candy and told him that and went out and did my job.” “Also, while I was on the phone with my GF and son so yea the meth head is a real tough guy.”

Drake also called out Joey Janela, saying he could “get it” and would be willing to fight him on camera for charity and Janela can select the date.
