10 Wrestlers who started their own promotions

8- Eugene

Eugene recently started his promotion in South Dakota

Eugene was perhaps one of the most beloved characters from the Ruthless Aggression Era. The “nephew” of Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff would win over the WWE fans and left a lasting impression. After his run in WWE, Eugene wrestled independently for a number of years going all over the world.

He had also served as a trainer for NXT for a short time. Last year, he started the promotion Mid-West All Pro Wrestling. It is based out of South Dakota and also serves as a wrestling school, where he is also the head instructor at the promotion.
