Insight LIVE Toronto: RECAP

Wrestling Royalty Took Over DPRTMNT on Elimination Chamber Weekend

The stars aligned in Toronto on Elimination Chamber weekend, and DPRTMNT Nightclub became the ultimate space for pro wrestling fans. In a rare Sunday opening, King West’s hottest venue transformed into a must-visit destination, offering fans an unprecedented opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the biggest names in the industry.

At the heart of the event was none other than Emmy Award-winning podcaster Chris Van Vliet, who brought his acclaimed show, Insight, to the live stage for a special edition packed with exclusive stories and never-before-heard moments. His guests? A trio of wrestling’s most dominant forces—Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin—who shared behind-the-scenes insights, career-defining moments, and their perspectives on the ever-evolving world of pro wrestling.

For VIP ticket holders, the experience didn’t end there. Before the groundbreaking conversation, fans were treated to an exclusive meet & greet, making for unforgettable moments with their wrestling heroes. From signed memorabilia to personal photo ops, it was a dream come true for die-hard enthusiasts.

During the taping former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas made a brief cameo to share a story with Chris about MVP pranking wrestler Hornswoggle on a long flight between events. The podcast was capped off by a (almost) successful Hurt Lock attempt via Bobby Lashley on CVV himself.

With Toronto already buzzing from the weekend’s Elimination Chamber chaos, this event at DPRTMNT was the perfect exclamation point—an intimate, star-studded experience that gave fans a front-row seat to wrestling history.
