On August 5, 2017, at Once in a Lifetime, Gacy appeared at the event, while ring announcer Larry Legend was about to introduce the match between [[Lio Rush]] and [[Joey Janela]]. Gacy headbutted Legend, before criticising the direction CZW were going in, and then putting Legend through a barbed wire board.{{cite web|url=https://www.wrestling-news.net/czw-once-in-a-lifetime-results/95158/|title=CZW Results: Once In A Lifetime – Voorhees, NJ (8/5)|work=wrestling-news.net|first=Wayne|last=Daly|date=August 5, 2017|access-date=June 27, 2020}} In response to this, D.

Osbourne refused and was abducted by a group of masked men. They resurfaced later in the night, after Strickland's title match with [[Ethan Page]]. One of the masked men, purportedly Gacy, threatened to have Osbourne curbstomped onto a chair, unless [[Matt Tremont]] reinstated him and gave him a title shot at the next event. Strickland urged Tremont to do so, and Tremont accepted Gacy's proposal, but Osbourne was curbstomped anyway. This turned out to be a ruse, as Gacy ran out from the back to attack Tremont; the man initially thought to be Gacy was actually Dan Barry, and the man who curbstomped Osbourne was Matthew Palmer. With Barry and Palmer aligning themselves with Gacy, it led to the formation of F.E.A.R.{{cite web|url=http://backbodydrop.com/blog/reviews/czw-the-wolf-of-wrestling-october-14-2017/|title=CZW The Wolf of Wrestling (October 14, 2017)|work=backbodydrop.com|first=Ian|last=Hamilton|date=October 31, 2017|access-date=June 27, 2020}}
