Prazak broke into the business in the late 1990s where he worked for various promotions in several roles including being a manager in Mid American Wrestling and IWA Mid-South before representing the likes of Nick Mondo, Ace Steel, Chris Hero, Colt Cabana, and CM Punk. He also had runs in TNA, ROH, and CHIKARA.
He also does commentary for GCW events. He founded the women’s wrestling promotion, SHIMMER, in 2005. Various stars have gone through the promotion including Holidead, Nicole Savoy, Janai Kai, and Allysin Kay.
It’s unclear who will induct Smothers, who passed away in October of 2020 at the age of 58.  Ruckus will be inducted by Sonjay Dutt while Homicide will be inducted by Chris Dickinson, and Lynn will be inducted by WWE Hall of Famer Sean Waltman.
