PEOPLE IN WRESTLING

****WARNING**** THIS POST CONTAINS MATURE LANGUAGE AND CONTENT AND SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED BY MINORS OR ANY OTHER WEAK MINDED OR WEAK WILLED INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE EASILY OFFENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You think after 9 years in wrestling that the people in it wouldn't surprise me but you would be wrong. I read an article today that pissed me off more than anything has in a long long time. Very few of you probably know or even care but I was one of the original owners of NICW. A local indy promotion. It began with four of us but due to in-fighting and marriage it ended up being just me and the still current owner, for the rest of this post known as Fatass. Now Fatass always liked to make it seem like he did everything and was responsible for all the goings on in the company when in fact he never did shit. Hell, he still to this day has never paid the initial start up cost that we all agreed upon that we would all put in to get things going. All, and I repeat, all of the work and money came from Rob and I. We were content to let him blow his old horn because we were proud of the shows and work we were doing. Then Rob and Fatass got to the point where they could no longer get along and Rob spilt, but not before he fucked us on a number of tax issues on shows, but that is another story. Then the 3rd owner, my brother, retired from the business, got married and it was left to me to pay for everything and do the damn work, while Fatass kept taking credit. I readily admit that all 4 of us could have done things differently but all I was ever trying to do was to have a fun place to work and put on the best all around shows possible. Fatass' main concern was of course, as always, himself. After draining my savings dry and finally getting feed up with Fatass' antics, I told him I would still work for him and help when I could but I was out of running it, doing the work, paying for it all and getting no credit. So it was all down to Fatass to do something. He was finally in control and had no one to argue with him like he always thought it should be. Guess what? I think he ran a grand total of 4 shows after that, maybe, and he was done. Oh, he still claims he runs shows and has all of these partnerships with these other companies, but all he does is wrestle and work on their shows and perpetuates the myth that NICW is still alive and growing on his site. But back to what I read today. It was an article about him and a brief history of NICW and it basically paints us former owners in a bad light and continues the lie that Fatass does and has done all the work, where in truth it is the exact opposite. I was content to let all of this remain in the trash where it belongs but reading this article just hit me the wrong way. In fact, another little known fact, I still own the trademarks to the name NICW and it's logos and servicemark. Maybe I'll do something that Fatass is unable to do and actually start running NICW shows again. I have as much if not more right than anyone else after all I have done and sacrificed. If this post has offended or upset anyone in anyway, FUCK'EM! Now they might have just a slight idea of how I've been feeling for the past few years. I'm done with this unimportant shit that no one really cares about. Vent and rant over. For now. As always remember, Hate the Man Fear the Fugitive!
