Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 Whatever happened to Reckless Youth and Mike Quackenbush? I remember in the mid-90's how the Apter mags were all over these guys' nuts, saying they were the biggest indy stars and sure to eventually break through to the big feds. I stopped reading Apter mags in 1998, but never heard anything about these guys elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted October 10, 2003 Reckless Youth is semi-retired. Quackenbush just wasn't that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ToddRoyal Report post Posted October 10, 2003 Youth wrestles as Tom Carter now. He is semi-retired, but he has worked some Ring of Honor shows recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 Quack is still around, and trains wrestlers at the Chikara (sp?) Wrestling Factory, located in Pennsylvania. He also writes articles on his career for one of the Apter mags, I believe The Wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Doyo Report post Posted October 11, 2003 Both are still very skilled wrestlers and they have each had pretty successful indy careers. I guess they just don't have "the look" that Vince is after. If WCW was still around maybe they would have got a shot there. Reckless won the IPW Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup this year. Besides the US, Quackenbush has wrestled in Mexico and Europe this year. His book "Headquarters", is one of the better books by wrestlers. I think they were both more hyped around 1997 because there wasn't as many cruiserweight style wrestlers around then. Now it seems that 90% of guys on indy shows could pass as cruiserweights.
