This is going to be a volatile one.....hold on tight. It might not be the best written column of my life, it might not be the most cheerful, but good lord it needs to be said.

My first part of this column is a question for Vince McMahon.

How in the HELL do you live with yourself? In the space of a couple of months, Matt Hardy gets the boot for being the injured party of a horrid situation, and now you ALLOW yet another situation with Bradshaw to seemingly go without problem? You used to be called a genius once upon a time, Vince. Since the 'WcW' invasion and your ego taking over the idea of good business booking, no-one's being saying it. And as long as you let the pathetic antics of people like Bradshaw ride and virtually encourage it, no-one will EVER be calling you a genius again. The only thing you'll hear, is people clicking their remote's OFF from what you consider a wrestling show, and the rest of us in the business just watch in the hopes we might see five minutes of decent wrestling in a two hour show.

My second part of this column is a personal message from me to Bradshaw.....

I know what you think of 'my kind'. You hate wrestling writers, for no other discernable reason bar the fact that you know WE know you're a really painful to watch below average lower card at best guy who's managed to get places he never deserved to on talent or drawing power alone. We're smart to that, you hate us for it. It's all good, we hate you too. All that money wasted on a washed up never was like yourself that could be spent on countless NEW talents with a chance of getting over, isn't wasted on many of us. You call us out constantly. Go ahead, pal, give it your best shot - come over to England if you want. I'm no tough guy, but if you want to question my love of professional wrestling then I'm happy do it face to face. I'm not scared, because I've dealt with idiots like you, we have a couple here in England comparable to you.

At best, your character is a poorly ripped off 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase. You don't have heat, John. You don't even have 'heel' heat, John. You have good old 'get the HELL of my television, you worthless excuse to my intelligence who couldn't entertain or grab interest if you gave away in person the amount of money you claim to have gained on the stock market' heat.

Yes, this is about what you did to Meanie. Myself, and us at 1PW here in the UK have a lot of time for Meanie as a person and a worker. To do what you did, John, was pathetic. You knew he had to defend his self more than fight you, due to stitches, and that shows you're a COWARD. You did it on your own turf and on live ppv, because you knew if anything went wrong you'd be saved, this also shows you're a COWARD. You're not a tough guy, you're not a shooter, you're just a guy who thinks he can throw his weight around. It doesn't play anymore. Ask Rick Steiner what happened recently when he tried his tired old crap out on Vordell Walker on a recent indy show.

You wouldn't have tried it in Philly, would you John? You'd never have got out the bingo hall alive. If I was anyone with a slight tinge of power in the ECW contingent in WWE, I would tell Vince that we'd up and walk away until something was done about Bradshaw. Then and only then would McMahon DO something about this 'man' John Bradshaw Leyfield. When he knew it would hit his chequebook, then he'd make a move. Right now the only reason people even GIVE a damn about watching WWE, is because they've brought ECW back from the grave. And doesn't that hurt certain people on the WWE payroll?!

One day, John, you'll grow up. Until then, you will always be considered an utter joke as a worker, a sick joke as a champion, and the complete opposite of the hard guy you like to claim that you are. And if you want to reply to this - I'm right here waiting.
