The Swinger 🍸FTB🍸

You can’t tell the story of Paradigm without THE Hoodfoot. Before the deathmatch world knew what he could do, we knew him as a UWFi Rules slugger. He hit hard, kept coming forward, and made every fight feel like it mattered. He was one of the first wrestlers who showed us that our strange idea could help make a star. At The Collective, Hoodfoot knocked Erick Stevens into one of several retirements. A few weeks later, Hoodfoot fought through the field to win the second Fighting Spirit Heavyweight Grand Prix. He became the Heavy Hitters Champion, headlined Terminal Combat, and was a mainstay of The Contenders Series. When we needed someone to carry a fight built around the hardest-hitting parts of Paradigm, Hoodfoot was already there. Then we asked him to do something else. Hoodfoot had one of his first deathmatches with us. The man we knew from UWFi Rules stepped into a different kind of violence and looked like he belonged there, too. We got to watch him take that part of himself far beyond Jeffersonville. That’s what made Hoodfoot a breakout star. We gave him room to fight, to try things, and to become more than any one style could contain. He took that opportunity and made the wider wrestling world pay attention. We’ve spent two years telling people what Paradigm was. Having Hoodfoot back in our ring will say it better. HOODFOOT returns at MIDLIFE CRISIS, our 150th show, on Friday, November 20 at the Jeffersonville Arena. Tickets: ParadigmProWrestling.com Use code FOREVER to save $10 per ticket.
