On Friday morning, December 26th 2008, Independent wrestler Roland Montgomery, known professionally as Rollin’ Hard was taken from us after a long battle with colon cancer. He is survived by his wife Angela and their two children, Autumn and Justus. He was just 34 years old when he passed.

Rollin’  Hard began his training in the mid-90s at “Nightmare Inc.” wrestling school that is run by “Nightmare” Danny Davis himself, but soon fell under the tutelage of Ian Rotten, who continued training him.

Squared Circle Expo 2 took place at the same venue as the first SCX which was the Wyndham Indianapolis West Hotel, a rather familiar venue to locals in the convention scene as it tends to host several other conventions from horror cons to local shows and a space that really feels right at home for such an event as SCX2 as the setup was pretty much the same this time around as it was last year with the same large vendor area with what seemed to me even more vendors this year than there was the previous year. I was very pleased with the amount of wrestling merch to purchase from action figures, to toy wrestling rings … Read More
