Record producer launches wrestling company as Vegas scene surges
  • 6 years ago
Henderson-based recording whiz Kane Churko has more than 8 million records sold from projects dating to his teen years, when he earned an early recording credit on Bob Dylan’s critically acclaimed “Modern Times” album. In 2013, he narrowly eclipsed fellow Canuck super-producer Bob Rock to become the youngest person ever to win a Juno — the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy — earning Engineer of the Year honors with his father. The Churkos run The Hideout, a 13,000-square-foot recording complex in Henderson whose walls gleam with their many gold and platinum records. But now, Kane Churko is working with a new set of artists by starting Versus Pro Wrestling, a platform he hopes to be an incubator of up-and-coming wrestling talent. Kane Churkos It’s a passionate, highly charged give-and-take, a uniquely egalitarian form of entertainment where the age-old battle between good and evil, virtue and villainy gets acted out by artist and audience in loud, sweaty unison. The idea is to give the wrestlers a sense of ownership over what they’re doing. Versus joins several local organizations in Las Vegas such as: Future Stars of Wrestling, Big Valley Pro Wrestling, Freakshow Wrestling.
