So you should...I have come to the conclusion that John Arezzi has to be the
biggest idiot in the world...

All his "hard work" in exposing Vince did NOTHING.  WHy bother?  The shit
that goes on behind the curtains is no one else's business.  If one of the
boys had a legit complaint, let him deal with it in his own way.  But for
Arezzi to be the so-called ringleader and stick his nose in where it does not
belong just shows his ignorance.  He should get a real job so he CAN pay his
bills instead of whimpering and whining about Titan hoping for a settlement
to keep his mouth shut.

And as for his supposed book that will expose the business, well, if it goes
to print you can expect to find him dead somewhere.  NONE of the boys will
put up with that.

Speaking of exposing the business, I have to make this comment.  You people
that write to this newsgroup think you are all "insiders" to the business.
You ain't Jack SHIT!  Just because you know a few keywords and such does not
make you an insider.  If you guys had ANY respect for this business which you
all say you love, this entire newsgroup would be in a mailing-list format,
NOT a public group.  I cannot count the times that a mark has "discovered"
this group, posted a simple mark question, and been flamed for being
ignorant.  That person then just sits in the back and reads for a month or
so, realizes what wrestling is all about, and boom...there is one less mark
that will come out to the house shows and help pay the paycheque of the boys.
There are too many people making a living off of this business to have it
ruined by Expose' groups like this.

Now, realize that since New York got TV, all the independents have had a
rough time.  Yes, New York really ruined a lot of things for the indie's, but
it is groups such as this that have ruined the believability of pro
wrestling.  It is so sad to see an industry go down the shit chute.

One other thing...be advised that what you write here DOES go all over the
place.  As an example, everything written about Portland, good or bad, is
read by Sandy and the boys.  The match reports are considered good input.
All the Whiff stuff (the interesting stuff, not the stupid bullshit gossip)
is read by the boys in the locker room, along with middle management (Garea,
Strongbow etc).

So on that note, I would really like to put it to the people "in charge" so
to speak, to turn this group into a MARK group, and any of you that think you
are insiders, keep it to an E-mail mailing list.    I don't know much about
the computer end of this request, but just to see this Expose' disappear
would be great.

Ya know, I passed on a bunch of interesting posts to someone that has been in
the business for many years, and that person said to me, "Marks can get this
shit anytime?"  That's my feeling too.  It's not right.  Change it.  For the
good of this business that you people all say you love, change it.


(BTW, if someone wants to discuss this furher, be advised that I will be
changing addresses tomorrow (Monday), so if your mail bounces, give me a day,
and I'll post a new address.)
