Hope Impact Wrestling isn't expecting a percentage for the booking. Matt Sydal misses BCW events, promotion calls him out for not returning his booking deposit
Matt Sydal did not appear at two British Championship Wrestling events as advertised over the weekend and the promotion has gone public with his refusal to return his portion of a $1,500 booking deposit. Sydal’s booking agent Bill Behrens returned his $300 portion of the deposit and the thus the promotion claims Sydal owes $1,2000.
The promotion ran the response that Sydal gave them when they asked for their deposit back. “A deposit is a deposit,” Sydal wrote. “It’s so that you can announce and promote me and sell tickets, which you did. I made every effort reasonable to make the show. I let you know as soon as there was an issue and I never intended to make your life so challenging. I don’t have $ to buy myself a ticket. I tried to work with British Airways but they were no help and neither were you. I would have loved to make the shows and collect my pay days. But you get to keep those. I would apply the deposit towards another show which is what reasonable people do.” Follow the promotion online at Twitter.com/bcwofficial.
In the past when members of the TNA/GFW/Impact Wrestling roster take an indy booking TNA?GFW/Impact gets a percentage of it. So maybe if you want to keep your good name (and still get future indy bookings) just send the fucking money back, cheap ass.

Sami Callihan On Why He Requested WWE Release, Impact Negative Media, Lucha Underground Returning
Impact Wrestling star Sami Callihan, f.k.a. Solomon Crowe in WWE NXT and Jeremiah Crane in Lucha Underground, was recently interviewed by Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can check out the full interview by clicking here, they sent us these highlights.
His debut at Impact's Bound for Glory:
"It was great, man! One of the things I really pride myself on is I like to be unpredictable. You don't know when or where I'm going to show up. I can legit show up anywhere. I think that kind of adds to my aura and makes me cool."
The negative media attention towards Impact:
"Well, the first week I was there man, it is pretty bad ass. They are pretty much giving us the opportunity. I think the big thing is management hasn't always been the best. The best way I can describe it is if you were a fan of WCW back in 1992-1993 when people were running WCW that wasn't wrestling fans, that didn't know wrestling. That kind of thought, "I'm going to run this company and do what I want." I kind of attribute it to that. That kind of is where TNA (Impact) was for a while. But now, they have smart people on top. They have guys on top that were on top when TNA was at their best. Now, Scott D'Amore is helping with, majorly helping with the company. Sonjay Dutt, majorly helping with the company. Abyss, majorly helping with the company. These are guys that were helping with the company when it first was amazing. Change doesn't happen overnight. But, these guys are slowly putting plans into motion to change TNA back to what it was. Within the next year, TNA is going to totally pull a 180 and people are going to start noticing it again."
Wrestling outside of WWE:
"I think wrestling outside of WWE is the new wrestling boom. In the 80's, it was the Hogan era. In the 90's, it was the Attitude Era. In the 2000's, it was the Ruthless Agression John Cena that really peaked business again. But, now, it is independent wrestling. It is all these other companies from around the world that now have the access to the fans through the Internet, through social media, and screaming devices. Right now, I truly believe that everything else is what is booming the wrestling business and is making everything better as a whole."
Being one of the first to request to leave WWE:
"I don't think I was a trendsetter. I just was... mediocrity is dead with me. I'm not complacent just sitting around collecting a paycheck. It really didn't matter about being a trendsetter. I wasn't going to jsut sit around collecting a paycheck, even though it was a very good paycheck to do nothing. I was ready to go out and show them why hired a 5'7 kid in the first place."
His take of the Lucha Underground product:
"I thought it was amazing. That is the way wrestling is going. I love that style of wrestling. I love to be in a fictitious world where zombies can exist and undead goblins, dragons, and time travelers... I love that aprt of pro wrestling. Thinking of it in a logical way, I'd like wrestling to have more in common with Game of Thrones than an actual sporting event. It doesn't change the fact that we're going out there and doing some of the coolest things on the planet and are some of the greatest athletes on the planet and can do everything in one take. But, the whole back end of it, that is the kind of wrestling that I love."

His story with Mil Muretes and if it was told as planned:
"Ivelisse broke her ankle. That was real life. People think that was part of the character. No, she broke her ankle for real. It sucks because I'm sure the story line would have went somewhere else. But, something happened in a match, she rolled her ankle real bad. She was out for the whole mid-part of the season. But, I like how it all ended up turning out. I had a really cool story line. They put a lot of faith in me."
If he will return for Lucha Underground Season 4:
"You never know, man. That's the thing about me. You never know where I'm going to be. I love to have that secrecy, that aura. Like, the Undertaker never got on social media for years upon years upon years. That is why he had such a cool aura. Sure, I have social media. I run my mouth a lot. But, I also like to be unpredictable. People don't know where I'm going to show up. One day I'm in California, the next day I'm in Maine!"
