Brett Lauderdale looks back on Joey Janela's Spring Break.
Joey Janela's Spring Break has become one of the standout events during WrestleMania weekend with the card featuring legends, top independent talent, and matches many fans never thought of, much less though possible.
Joey Janela's Spring Break 1 took place in 2017 and featured Joey Janela vs. Marty Jannetty among other matches.
GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale believes the event changed wrestling.
"There were multiple launching points throughout the history of GCW. There were multiple events, situations, and decisions made that included us putting all the chips in and rolling the dice. There were multiple occasions where it was do or die, and we did on every single one of them. That was a matter of confidence and believing the way we were doing things was right and people would get behind us and believe it, and we would deliver. We did it every time. Tournament of Survival 1, a launching point. Spring Break 1. Spring Break 1 was a launching pad for fucking wrestling as we know it today. Spring Break 1 planted a lot of seeds across the industry. There is zero percent doubt in my mind. There is no doubt about it. Spring Break 1 changed the wrestling business. Depending on who you ask, they'll tell you how significant or insignificant, but I am 100% confident in knowing Spring Break 1 changed wrestling," Lauderdale said on Bodyslam's Game Changer Weekly.
Joey Janela's Spring Break has expanded to a two night affair with the Clusterfuck Battle Royal taking place on night two.
Elsewhere during the interview, Lauderdale commented on a potential partnership with DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
