I dont know what to say to this.

[BubbaJ]

I cannot for the life of me, wrap my brain around the grammar errors and spelling mistakes of that post.

Just, wow.

[the way wrestling was pro]

Well you a english teacher or a wrestling fan? Why don't you get a wrestling promotions and post then?

[the lifeguard]

Trust me, this man is FAR from that sleazeball Snake Brody. I"m sure he'll be a bit more careful with the spelling. How about maybe checking out a good afternoon of wrestling?

[BubbaJ]

How about people taking the time to proof read their posts? You know so maybe it actually makes sense?

There is no excuse for not using a quick spell check, especially when you are trying to sell a product to people.

[the lifeguard]

ok. mr. insider. how about info on the show?

[the way wrestling was pro]

So you work in the business> If i knew i was going to be marked for spelling i would have a English professoer right my post. It's the event no the english which is the point DUH

[BubbaJ]

Seriously, I don't want to be sucked into this stupid petty message board bs.

You are either an complete moron or you are just intentionally doing this for attention.

I am not responding to anymore posts from you.

He is neither. The promoter is an honest, hard working life long wrestling fan who has a vision for the type of show he wants to run. Not everyone may want to see that type of show and he understands that. To ridicule someone because of their writing ability is juvenile. Everyone's life takes different paths and sometimes (especially many years ago) a formal education is not in the cards for any number of reasons. Your insensitivity here is just plain ridiculous. You are immature and rude. Like Ghost says, go see an afternoon of wrestling if you like but coming on here to be an asshole to someone who clearly does not deserve it is way out of line. Get it? It's ironic that YOU'RE calling this kind man a moron. Grow up and show some understanding.

[BubbaJ]

Why was I singled out here?

I was not the first to respond.

My first response was not attacking this guy at all. It was about a post that was totally unreadable. I just happened to be the first to point that out.

I am sure that this man is trying hard. That does not excuse not being able to put together a paragraph that makes sense. Defending someone you don't know and calling someone you don't know an asshole is even more immature then critiquing some one's writing.

I have a fan for over 25 years. I love the business.
As a fan, I am insulted that a promoter wouldn't even take the time to write a proper post on a show that they want people to attend.

I know full well that not everyone has a great education. I only have a high school diploma but I still manage to look up words I don't know and I use spell check and I am not selling a product to the public.

So instead of calling me an asshole, why don't you help this man out with his writing or show?

And no, it is not ironic.

This fed is cursed if you're sticking up for them.

I'd like to, but as far as I know, he will use Shawn again, as he did the first show, which is perfectly fine. Im defending the man because he IS a nice guy, who really cares about putting out this different type of show. Its that simple.

[MAV]

He's a good, fairly intelligent guy who's trying to put on a good show but is admitingly not an English lit major.

Let's put it this way...in the past 2 years, I've worked primarily for myself and for the EWA (which runs infrequently). Aside from that, I worked a short stint of Chaotic bookings and a couple of EPW bookings. My work history as of late would indicate I really don't want to work for anyone unless I have a really good feeling on them, and I'm on this guy's show. I like to work for good people, not abbreviated alphabetic combinations. Like me or no, I don't throw the endorsements around very often and I'm impressed enough to lend my tired old body to the show.

As to his writing skills...while it's in a roofing company, I work in the office and handle and review a lot of incoming and outgoing letters. You would be amazed to see just how off some people's grammar is no matter how intelligent they are. If you don't write a lot, you tend to...well, to not be good at it. Not everyone is the overly verbose egomaniac I am.

Hope to see you guys in October...but not before I see you in Leominster, Ma for the FRW show on the 12th of September!

I'm sorry for offending anyone in this thread. I did some research into this show last night.

It still doesn't change my opinion about how unprofessional it looks to release a statement that is unintelligible.

I expect a level of professionalism in this business that I guess I'm not going to see anymore because half assing a show announcement is some how somthing to be applauded. I guess times have changed and I'm just now catching on.

Again, I'm sorry for being so harsh.

It isn't something to be applauded. You are correct in your assertion that it should be put together to look better than that. I was just letting you know where and why it came out like that and that despite the post not being great, you're not dealing with some jerk here. The promoter is just a guy who is unaccustomed to doing what amounts to a press release or writing. Like I said before, I encounter things like this all the time at work.

[ridave]

Mav you may be right that he is a nice guy but with all the choices of shows out there Professionalism goes a long way. When a press release looks like shit what is one to think? When I go to a restaurant and if I can't read the menu I don't eat. Hopefully the way wrestling was pro will read this and clean up his act and do a better job to get my money.

I think it would take more than that to keep YOU from eating. I'm glad this guy's "professionalism" is all you have to worry about.

I don't think it's so much the grammar but the lack of relevant information like where the show is, who is on the bill, etc. The way you've left your post and without any constructive followup is useless.

[pizza king]

thanks JB for pointing that out. all these "insiders" seem to think we know who this guy is and all about his company and shows just because they do. the post thread has been up for 26 hours plus and we dont have the info you mentioned.

[GrayGhost]

There was another post about this, someplace. Names I have heard as definite or very likely are Hurricane John Walters, Antonio Thomas, Jason Blade, The Alumni club, and I believe Mav Wild is confirmed for one of the shows.

I look forward to hearing more names, confirmation of these, and match announcements as the time approaches.
