BLOOD MONEY: The Canadian Crusher Jax Molson (BRL) 1,066-325-48, $1,750,700 *17
Born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, Jax Molson took the IWA by storm four years ago, winning several regional titles, tag-team straps, and six-man championships in the ASL, BRL, and NWL. The Canadian Crusher was one of the founding members of the Disciples of Doom, along with Ghost Lee Shadows, and he had great success -- even reaching the finals of the Johnny B Cup at one point. The Crusher had memorable feuds with wrestlers like Randy the Ramm, Jimmy North, and others. In the last year, The Canadian Crusher Jax Molson enjoyed a successful run with the BRL faction Blood Money.
Crusher had this to say to his many friends and fans of the IWA: "It has been an honor to compete these last four years in the IWA, as I fought and bled with the best of them. Being blessed to have had great success, including winning some championships, is a memory I will carry with me forever. It's now time to pass the torch to other great up and coming wrestlers, and go home to my family in Thunder Bay. I thank you all for giving me the honor of entertaining you, and for allowing me to make our business just a little bit better. I'm The Canadian Crusher Jax Molson, and I will see you in the next chapter."
