Report: Hardcore wrestler Necro Butcher signs a legends contract with WWE

Necro Butcher, a wrestler known for his hardcore matches in various independent wrestling promotions over the years, has reportedly signed a WWE Legends contract. Butcher (Dylan Keith Summers) wrote the following in a Facebook post…

“I have signed a basic legends deal with the WWE. The offer actually came in the day after I walked out of my job. The timing was ridiculous. Now, the door is open for various projects, which have already been discussed. But I’m taking things slow. What does this say about my career ? A man who never worked there. But he worked hard everywhere he went. And still will. I will NOT miss my scheduled shows and most definitely will NOT be making any apology videos or speeches. I’ve worked hard, both for myself and for my fans. Nothing was more important to me than credibility and believability. I hope this leads to more opportunities for guys who never got that call to the big time. This is OUR reward. Let’s enjoy this together.”

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted the following…

“PWInsider.com has confirmed with WWE sources that is 100% accurate. The belief is [WWE President] Nick Khan spearheaded the deal, similar to how he was responsible for the company signing a deal with New Jack’s estate a few years back.”
