After by all accounts a successful first show at the Iron Triangle Brewery in Los Angeles, there have been some changes in the management of Bumps and Brewses. The two main promoters behind it, Marty Hill and Mikey Freedom (Hawes) have decided to go their separate ways. I have been told the split was completely amicable and they still are on good terms.

With the split Marty Hill will be keeping the Bumps and Brewses name and the promotion will no longer be running at the Iron Triangle Brewery. No new dates or venue have been announced yet, but the promotion did post on social media the following message:

“We’re going to break ground on some huge news coming real soon. Big changes on the way for Bumps and Brewses. Thanks to everyone who came out and showed support at the first ever B&B wait till you see what we have in store.”

As far as Mikey Freedom goes, he will now be partnering directly with the Iron Triangle Brewery on a new promotion that is being called Brewmania. They have signed for at least four dates, with the first show taking place on December 9th. The show will be hosted by former ECW announcer Joel Gertner and a full lineup should be announced soon.

The match between Ruby Raze and Tyler Bateman at the October 31st Santino Bros. show in Downey, is being advertised as a “loser leaves Santino Bros.” match. The backstory to this feud is that Ruby Raze was brought into wrestling by Bateman, and he was her original trainer. She then went to Santino Bros. to finish her training and Bateman didn’t start wrestling in Santinos till Raze was there. Raze had been by his side for 9 years and she feels that he had betrayed her. With the tension between them Bateman challenged her to the stipulation and Raze accepted.
