More Idiocy from ROH and Leonard
By Bob Barnett
Just when you think the clowns vying to be the Avis's under
McMoron's Hertz can't get any more stupid, they surpass themselves. This
week it's the fly the wrong guy to Nashville to sign the bogus contract
angle. Booked by admitted liar and the perennial litigious Bob Ryder.
First we have the new cleaner Total Nonstop Leonard-devoid
of curse words, dancers, and most charisma. Featuring the born, or bored
again, Vince Russo, and the Rapist of the Rain Forest, balsa wood wasting,
string free guitar swinging, Leonard-who now is enamored of UFC.
Just imagine what booking ideas are going through his mind.
Pinning Ortiz, Liddell, Tim Sylvia, and every other MMA champ, after he
hits them with the powdered guitar that blows kayfabe every week."Dixie,
if you could just spend another few hundred thousand dollars, we can get
these guys and convince the marks I'm tougher than Randy Couture. No not
couture as in fashion Dixie, but UFC's toughest guy!"
This week's main event was this mess of a contract, offered
up by the Leonard organization, so the stench of Feinstein wouldn't spread
to their joint talent on the chance that TNL would get a spot of FOX which
still wouldn't sell any tickets or buys bc after 92 weeks TNL still hasn't
created one star-
"STATEMENT REGARDING RING OF HONOR OWNERSHIP
I, ___________, a resident of ____________ do hereby swear
and affirm the following:
* I am currently involved with Ring of Honor as a silent investor and
am familiar with all aspects of Ring of Honor operations
* Rob Feinstein is no longer associated with Ring of Honor in any capacity
and has sold all of his ownership interest in the company.
* I have assurances from current Ring of Honor ownership that Rob Feinstein
is not involved now and will not be involved in the future in any capacity
with the company.
* I am aware TNA has been approached by cable industry officials who are
concerned that TNA talent is appearing on shows associated with Rob Feinstein,
and that TNA could be damaged if the information provided to those cable
industry officials is not accurate.
I agree that should the information in this statement
not be true that I will be personally liable for any damages TNA Entertainment
may suffer related to TNA contracted talent appearing on Ring of Honor
events should Feinstein still be involved with Ring of Honor in any capacity."
How could TNL prove that they suffered any damages. First
they would have to prove that Feinstein was still there-but they're too
cheap to hire a private detective to find out themselves. They they would
have to prove that Rob still hanging around has cost them business, as
in profits. But TNL has never made a dime. It's all a speculative mess
that would cost TNL tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys fees that
wouldn't guarantee them a dime.
Then they wanted "silent investor" Cary Silken to sign that
statement. Why weren't they worried about Silken's involvement since he
was popped for drugs, and indicted in NJ for ticket scalping.
Of course Gabe and Doug haven't done themselves any favors.
Right after Rob was caught on camera attempting to kiddie diddle, they
said RF Video would get an immediate name change. So where's the name
change? And why is ROH still paying the lease on Rob's house and car?
And why was Doug driving Rob's car in the week before the NJ show after
Doug had crashed his own car? And what did they pay Feinstein for his
ROH and RF assets-where's the cancelled check-who provided the cash? And
why would Meltzer report that Rob already thought this would (ahem) blow
over and he'd get back in the business? Maybe because Rob has no other
job skills, and because it looks like he won't face arrest, his arrogance
has returned. Pedophiles have a way of justifying their existence.
But the Leonard's were the real dicks this week, telling their,
er, "talent" who they could and could not work for, even though they only
work 3 times monthly for lousy wages.
Maybe Jerry Jarrett was going to let them mow his lawn for the work they'd
miss elsewhere. Maybe Ryder would take them out on his boat so they could
catch their dinner.
And why haven't Leonard.Inc disassociated from the Harriss's,
who's neo Nazi tattoos were clearly on display on NWATNA.
Then we have the goofball ROH fruitloop fans who think everyone
criticizing ROH on the ROH forums is MOI!
Better check that Kool Aid for Rob's DNA!
Finally there's the Jihad "mail and call" posts.
Gimme a break.
These shows could be run by and for the workers, and all the parasites
could be tossed by the wayside. It would be easy enough to book halls
and distribute DVDs. PWG is doing it successfully enough in SOCAL, and
I expect their profits to increase now that they're running on Saturday
nights.
This isn't brain surgery. The Leonards/Gabes/Ryders/and Doug's
of the business are totally unnecessary.
