Paul Belfi of Sportstalk Cleveland Radio is reporting that David Hastings, the co-promoter for X3 Wrestling, will appear on the Pro Wrestling Insider radio show this Tuesday night to comment on various wrestlers getting stiffed on money at an event last night in Canton, Ohio. That story from earlier today can be found here.
Hastings also provided the following comments in regards to promoter Tim Shady skipping out on the event when it was halfway through: "At 8 o'clock Tim disappeared. He left me holding the bag and with a lot of heat, I am lucky I got out of there in one piece. They told me the only reason they didn't beat the sh** out of me was because I was there."
