- Following the disappearance of promoter Mark Livingston and his wife from this past weekend's Hardcore Roadtrip shows, the status of the promotion has been in question. As reported, several wrestlers were shorted in pay and left without travel arrangements and the promotion's Facebook page was deleted as well.

For those wondering if the promotion is now dead, the answer is finally here. The promotion's website issued a statement revealing that it is $10,000 in debt and is closing down. The full statement is below:

This past weekend (HRT) Hardcore Roadtrip ran shows in London, ON Canada and took a huge financial lost that left the promotion with a debt upwards of $10,000 Dollars.

We will no longer be running May 31st in London and June 1st in Toronto as the promotion has ceased operations. Refunds for these events are available through point of purchase.

Everyone that is owed money will get there money it's just a matter of when. Once everyone has been paid off the promotion will remain closed! Thanks to the fans for the support over the last year and a half.

Geez closing down over 10k that's a shame

That's a lot of money for most people.

I made the posters for that show he dipped out on and the 2 he had supposedly planned. I got paid for one but needless to say i probably won't get paid for those other 2 posters. Overall he always paid me when he said he would, he was cool with me but damn to burn those wrestlers like that...yikes!

I also had a part in creating the HRT Championship, side plates, center images and the chair shot silhouette guys were all part of what i had done.

I heard on Jim Cornette's podcast that this "Mark Livingston" would get out paying for dinners by faking heart attacks

Plus he's apparently a friend of Kenny Bolin's so he has to be a shady guy.
