Holliday recently underwent treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which he completed in February.

You can purchase the t-shirt here through May 31st.

Taking to Twitter, Alex Colon revealed that he left GCW due to payment issues, noting that Brett Lauderdale said that he was paid $1 more than John Wayne Murdoch and that he considered it a “slap in the face” to both of them.

Colon’s statements elicited a response from Lauderdale, and you can check out the whole verbal back-and-forth below:

Colon tweeted, “I was told @Lauderdale11 said I was paid a dollar more than @TheDukeJWM ? Man what a way to slap 2 dudes in the face smh ur pettiness doesn’t make u bulletproof dude. Stay in ur lane. I am not the one, I promise u man.”

Lauderdale then posted a series of tweets in which he addressed the situation, writing,

“Well Alex, im sorry you felt it was petty, but not only did I give you the biggest payday of your career that day, but 3x over. The extra $1 was meant to symbolize that even though I agreed to pay you guys the same, I wanted to give you more (even if $1) to show you respect.

You seem to have pent up frustration but forget how well I actually treated you. Always nice hotels, flights whenever requested (even last minute), and took you around the world 3x over. When a large section of fans were “tired of Alex” I said oh well, and continued to make you the face of GCW Deathmatch division.

You were a 4x tournament winner, won multiple titles, and on pace for more. You were always treated respect.

You also never *once* asked for a raise or complained about treatment.

Youre dream in wrestling was to go to Japan for an extended tour. When nobody made the offer, I made it happen for you and I fronted the money to get you there.

I did everything and anything I could to help you succeed.

It should also be noted that you were scheduled to return on 5/26 in Vegas, and 6/4 at COS to do a really cool program that you were looking forward to. Unfortunately it fell thru (not my fault), and we agreed to push it back… then a few days later you told a mutual friend that you really wanted to do a different show (for a guy that offered you less than I paid you on the “$1 day”) but were worried how Brett would react…. i never stopped you from wrestling anywhere. You wrestled there before…

Then you suddenly acted like you “quit” & let the world know what a piece of sh*t you suddenly thought I was. Not a word to me, no conversation. No nothing. Silly. Youre an indie wrestler. Do what you want but remember the opportunities i gave you when nobody else would.

I could go on but its pointless. If you ever wanna talk, feel free. Its the same phone # i had when i met you 15+ years ago. Good luck to you. Hope you achieve all your wrestling dreams now that youve got me and GCW out of your way from holding you down.

And now @alexcolon0139, you start calling people close to me saying you “werent trying to start drama” & you “never mentioned my name”… lol ok. You know what you did & why…. to make yourself feel better about turning your back on the only person that believed in you….

$ comes and goes but respect doesn’t. We’re both family men & I thought we had a mutual understanding & respect but i was wrong. Hope you get paid well in your next match and the one after if it keeps going but when the $ is gone, what will you have left?”

Colon has since replied with the following,

“Yea cause ur the only guy working in gcw right? U wrestle those matches too? Na….but continue.

Lol!!!!!!!!! U sound so angry. Expecting fans or money marks to set up all ur hotel sh*t is a lazy move and if u were setting up one wouldn’t it be set ahead of time knowing ppl needed rooms to clean up or sleep. Don’t justify all that neglecting behavior. Own up to it.”
