Westside Gunn Announces Wrestling Venture 4THROPE

Griselda rapper Westside Gunn is taking his passion for wrestling to the next level with 4THROPE, his new venture that will promote wrestlers, produce merchandise, and launch podcasts, among other endeavors.

In an announcement on the rapper’s Instagram account, Gunn laid out his plans for 4THROPE—which is named after a 2019 compilation of his wrestling-inspired tracks—before introducing its first signee, wrestler Parker Boudreaux. Previously starring on WWE NXT under the name Harland, Boudreaux recently made his AEW debut under his new ring name and celebrated the partnership by commenting “The Future is Ours” under Gunn’s announcement post on Instagram.
