- For much of 2010, he was never knocked off of his feet. This ended in the Team CHIKARA (UltraMantis Black/Eddie Kingston/Mike Quackenbush/Jigsaw/Hallowicked/STIGMA/Icarus/Larry Sweeney)-BDK (Ares/Tursas/Claudio Castagnoli/Pinkie Sanchez/Tim Donst/Sara Del Rey/Daizee Haze/Delirious) Torneo Cibernetico match at Chikara the Dark Ciberknetico (2010) on October 23, 2010, when Kingston knocked him down with a clothesline and then hit a Sliding D to pin him for the win.
- At the Fan Conclave for "CHIKARA King of Trios 2011," the BDK's Jakob Hammermeier announced a Body Slam Challenge for anyone who wanted to try to slam Tursas. Green Ant made his way out dressed like Lex Luger (Larry Pfohl) did for the Rodney Agatupu Anoai Bodyslam Challenge on the deck of the U.S.S. Intrepid on July 4, 1993. Green Ant failed to slam Tursas. However, during the Colony (Fire/Soldier/Green)-BDK (Donst/Delirious/Jakob) match on Night II, Tursas interfered and Green Ant slammed him, and then made Jakob submit to a Luger-style Torture Rack.
- His name is Finnish for both "sea monster" and "god of war." As his Twitter and Facebook accounts are both called "WarTursas," they mean "War god of war." His gimmick is of a Viking monster. He, Ares and Claudio had a finishing move called Ragnarök.
