[DPW]

It is with deep regret that I have to announce that this Friday's scheduled event, RIZEN 2008, must be canceled.

Due to a complaint over a fire spot some months ago, we were contacted by the local fire department. After a brief meeting and aninformal inspection it was decided that several aspects of the facility need to be brought up to code.

Both of the gentlemen who came for the meeting were very professional, helpful and courteous. I look forward to working with them to get everything squared away in a timely fashion.

It would be impossible to get everything completed and inspected before Friday's event. Therefore, we have no other option than to cancel RIZEN.

I can only offer my sincerest apology for any problems this may cause for those that planned to attend, as well as the performers that were scheduled to appear.

We're not down and out by any means. I would suggest the following:

1) See things as they are: Not worse than they are.
2) See things better than they are.
3) Make them that way!

Regards,
Mike Milano

Best of luck in getting all the red tape worked out. DPW has a very loyal fan following, and Im sure they'll wait for the next event, I believe April 6?

Sometimes, these things are a blessing in disguise. Its quite possible that having the building inspected could save someone from being hurt down the road. So in a way, its not a bad thing, esp if this fixes some issues.

I was potentially planning on going this this event, as friday shows are easy for me to attend.

Good luck and hopefully, everything will be "up to code" soon!

Nothing wrong with being safe. I look forward to the next event.

[Brian]

or with fire spots either!!!

This wouldn't have happened if Milano was still in charge. You would think after a distinguished career selling lubricant that J.J.J. would be more proficient at greasing palms.

[the lifeguard]

WTF???? i was sooooooooo looking forward to this show. what is DPW again?

[DementionX]

Hey, shit happens. I'd do the exact same things if I was in Milano's shoes!

[El Kabong]

YOU RUINED MY LIFE

I'm sorry but that shit's funny.

I'm sure everything will work out for the best. Best of luck straightening this out. I'm sure everything will turn out fine and we'll be back ringside enjoying a show!

I very large fire engulfing the city of Waterbury should be encouraged, not stamped out.

Yeah first thing that came to my mind. People pulled this with CZW all the time. And odds are if this is the same stuff you read about elsewhere it is BS stuff that needs fixing. Also the timing fits the whole fuck with a fed so close to a big show they have no choice but to cancel.

If someone did pull this, it is fucking low. But seems real fishy to be inspected what two days before the show?

Oh well, wish ya luck Mike.

Maybe God didn't want people going to wrestling shows on Good Friday?

Hehe. funny Hugh..

I dont know who would want to rat on DPW..that seems harsh indeed.

[EricYoungFan]

As disapointed as i am, i'm glad DPW did the right thing by making sure everything is safe for the next show.

It doesn't matter if some snitched or not. It is Dpw responsibility from day one that the building was up to code before they let anyone in there. I find it ironic that the manager of Great White was released from prison today.

[Captain Howdy]

What really seems to stir the pot as far as "someone snitching" though is that that someone just now made a tip about something that happened "some months ago."

If it was really a "highly concerned citizen" wouldn't they have made a call to the fire marshal the very next day after the incident? Just a thought.

[El Kabong]

Again, it doesn't really matter who narc'd or snitched..


It's all a cover-up for Morbius breaking another toilet and causing damage to the building's plumbing. What they're really doing is removing a wall and getting this thing shipped in from a local zoo.

Yes it does because it shows that they don't respect DA BIZ.

[Hugh Jass]

Nobody wants a repeat of the Great White Rhode Island fire. And Wrestling fans are greasier than rock fans, so they would light up quicker.

[Rich Casey]

I heard by having JJ Alexander in the room they were exceeding the maximum capacity of the building.
