Alex Colon and Brett Lauderdale air their grievances.
Alex Colon has left Game Changer Wrestling due to differences with GCW owner Brett Lauderdale. Colon took to social media to reveal that some of his issues came down to payment, and him receiving $1 more than John Wayne Murdoch, despite wanting to be paid the same, which he thought was a slap in the face to both guys.
Lauderdale responded to Colon's issue, setting off a lengthy back and forth between the two.
I was told @Lauderdale11 said I was paid a dollar more than @TheDukeJWM ? Man what a way to slap 2 dudes in the face smh ur pettiness doesn't make u bulletproof dude. Stay in ur lane. I am not the one, I promise u man.

Well Alex, im sorry you felt it was petty, but not only did I give you the biggest payday of your career that day, but 3x over. The extra $1 was meant to symbolize that even though I agreed to pay you guys the same, I wanted to give you more (even if $1) to show you respect. https://t.co/5wZdktfjF6

to make you the face of GCW Deathmatch division.

You were a 4x tournament winner, won multiple titles, and on pace for more. You were always treated respect.
You also never *once* asked for a raise or complained about treatment.
It should also be noted that you were scheduled to return on 5/26 in Vegas, and 6/4 at COS to do a really cool program that you were looking forward to. Unfortunately it fell thru (not my fault), and we agreed to push it back...

Then you suddenly acted like you "quit" & let the world know what a piece of shit you suddenly thought I was. Not a word to me, no conversation. No nothing. Silly. Youre an indie wrestler. Do what you want but remember the opportunities i gave you when nobody else would.

And now @alexcolon0139, you start calling people close to me saying you "werent trying to start drama" & you "never mentioned my name"... lol ok. You know what you did & why.... to make yourself feel better about turning your back on the only person that believed in you....

$ comes and goes but respect doesn't. We're both family men & I thought we had a mutual understanding & respect but i was wrong. Hope you get paid well in your next match and the one after if it keeps going but when the $ is gone, what will you have left?

Lol!!!!!!!!! U sound so angry. Expecting fans or money marks to set up all ur hotel shit is a lazy move and if u were setting up one wouldn't it be set ahead of time knowing ppl needed rooms to clean up or sleep. Don't justify all that neglecting behavior. Own up to it.--
