WXW Legend Show

[Vale]

I know how you feel; I've been dragging all day, I have zero energy. Last night stole it all! I can barely bring myself to do anything today. Lazy days are the BEST.

I might be ring announcing this Saturday in Minneola, by the way!

[Agent J]

I am truly bummed to have missed this show... it sounds like it went off quite well!

Perhaps I'll make the drive to Mineoloeleoeoleoeoeloea next time.

Oh... and Agent J... I love Simon Sez... and I really do mean that in the gayest way possible! LOL!

Seth,

Your affection for Simon bothers me. Why do you like bad people like him?

I can't wait to see Simon get his comeuppance. I am only standing up for the thousands and thousands of people who have been insulted by his obnoxious, know-it-all attitude. Yeah, he might have Da Biff by his side, but someday someone is going to stick it to him in the ring.

And I am going to cheer my head off.

VALE THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT HOSTESS ON SATURDAY AT WXW WE FELT VERY AT HOME AT THE SHOW. ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AGENT J AND THE DON. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND WE ARE GLAD TO KNOW. I WILL BE POSTING THE PICS I TOOK REAL SOON. AGAIN THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

[Seth Nadreau]

J.

I like guys like Simon who shoot me the occaisional text message insult... it's not always nice... but it's nice to know he's thinking of me. LOL!

[Blair Russell]

I have to admit, however, our time at WXW almost didn't end well. After the show, Simon Says confronted me and told me I should be quiet, stay in my seat, and that he didn't want to hear anymore from me. I'll admit, I was scared. But when a fellow fan came to my aid and said I could say what I wanted, I got my courage back. I told Simon that we fans pay his salary and if it wasn't for us he wouldn't have a job, so we can say what we want about him or any other cheater or bad person who works for WXW. Then as Simon backed away and threatened to sick Da Biff on me, I threw my shoe at him like an Iraqi reporter did to George Bush. I heard that is a gesture of disrespect, and I don't have any respect for an obnoxious know-it-all who insults the fine people of Leesburg and Minneola.

I pray to God that this is some sort of sick joke. You threw your shoe at Simon Sez? Honestly? If this actually happened, I say he (along with Biff) has any and all rights to legit beat the shit out of you, not to mention have you arrested for ASSAULT, as that's what it is, an assault to throw an object at someone that could cause injury. Talk about acting like a toddler, which is what you do all the time at shows anyway.

If you really did throw a shoe at Simon, FUCK YOU for thinking that's an acceptable thing to do and you should be lucky that you don't get banned for life from the promotion for doing something that could possibly cause injury.

And people wonder why I in general hate The Afro Squad.

[Donnie]

Blair,
Are you in character? Obviously, Agent J is. He's also joking around. Are you retarded or just acting as a heel?

Dearest Blair,

I have to admit, being woke up to the news that you posted directly in response to something I said is like Christmas in June.

That said, NO ONE throw a shoe at Blair Russell. Especially a flip-flop, because those have been known to kill a man.

Back to you, Blair, as I guess this happened after you left.

First of all, let's define how we are going to deal with this. We can A) stay in "character" with you as the annoying know-it-all who tells people how wrestling should be with The Gospel According To Blair Russell, or B) talk about this realistically as it pertains to the entertainment aspect of professional wrestling. You are smart person, so as much as I hate to do this, I'm choosing "B". This way maybe you can learn a little about me.

SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ ON IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE MYSTERY IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!

Point 1) (I'm going to blow your mind with this one!) Simon was actually wrong to come up to me,touch me, and address me directly. That's right, he was. The show was over, he stayed in character, and addressed me as an individual fan. I know that's your problem with the Afro-Squad, the BSM, etc. You claim we put ourselves over. And Simon by his actions promoted that by confronting me personally. I see your point, as pertains to the wrestlers themselves, the fans should be one amorphous blob with no individual identities.

That said, why don't you berate him? Why don't you say that wrestlers shouldn't talk to fans in character after the show? The moment they say "That's all, folks", the show is over. At that point, wrestlers go back to being the people they were before the show. You can shake their hand, congratulate them on a show well done, etc. But they are done being the characters they were during the show. Simon didn't do that, so therefore, ipso facto, I was forced to stay "afro'ed". What other choice did I have? Please let me know.

Was I wrong to throw my flip-flop at Simon? Maybe. Did it let a dozen other people who didn't hear me and Simon go back and forth know that something was going on? Maybe. Was the initial wrong already committed? Absolutely. The flip-flop tossing isn't the issue, Blair. You know that as well as I do.

Point 2) You are absolutely WRONG in thinking "Da Biff" had every right to "legit beat the shit out of" me. First of all, you are mixing fantasy and reality again. "Da Biff" is a wrestler. I am not. That would involve "Da Biff" going back into character (see point 1) and would have been very, very ugly. And yes, the cops would have had to be called, headlines would have been made, and WXW would have suffered a very ugly black eye.

Point 3) Blair, why do you make things difficult? Why can't you just let people have their fun? Why do you have to be the burgermeister-meisterburger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgermeister_Meisterburger) of the Florida Wrestling community? Lighten up, pal. Granted, there is an inherent danger of having a wrestler call out a specific fan - people are going to want to see a build-up, conclusion, etc. Thank you for pointing that out to us. But keep in mind, I want nothing to do with being in a wrestling ring. Nothing. I went in a ring once during a practice, and never again. Don't worry your little mind about that.

Thanks again for commenting, but please don't make me have to step out of my 'fro again. I like being a fan.

Hugs and Kisses,
"The Afro-Idiot"

Oh for Christ's sake, I think I'm dumber from reading your response; I think you were better off not responding at all!

I still can't tell for certain if you're 100 percent serious here or if you're just making shit up to make you and your loser gang "cool" or what, but I'll presume in this case that you're being serious and you're not ribbing anyone.

That said, why don't you berate him? Why don't you say that wrestlers shouldn't talk to fans in character after the show? The moment they say "That's all, folks", the show is over. At that point, wrestlers go back to being the people they were before the show. You can shake their hand, congratulate them on a show well done, etc. But they are done being the characters they were during the show. Simon didn't do that, so therefore, ipso facto, I was forced to stay "afro'ed". What other choice did I have? Please let me know.

What other choice did you have... how about, you know, walking away from him! Were you afraid that this would make you look like a pussy or a bitch? Who cares?! It's about time that you stop acting like you're the coolest kid at the playground in the first place. PLUS, you disrespectful oaf, as I'm sure you don't know, for most of the time in wrestling history it's been the case where a wrestler does *not* go out of character once the show ends. That has only changed in recent history. If Simon wants to stay in character at all times (even if it's just with you), then what's the big deal? Just stay away from him! Maybe he legit doesn't like you and doesn't want to be BFF with you. Who says that you have to be chummy with *all* of the wrestlers there in the first place?

As for why I said that Biff would legit beat the shit of you, it's not him "being in character", but rather because he may want to do it because it's likely that they're, you know, friends outside of the wrestling world.

All in all, just grow up and don't act like a toddler when someone confronts you.

[The Don Vinnie D]

Maybe I'm reading the replies wrong, but the only person who people want to beat the shit of, is Blair Russell.

Since after the flip flop throw, I looked around and saw everyone laughing, I assumed it was all in good fun.

Simon has a pretty good sense of humor and will joke around. I hate his character, but I think the man is pretty cool. And I, like many others, can separate the two.

I have heard those who dislike the way the BSM, and the Afro-squad act, but I've heard many more who like what we do. Here's a news flash for the Blair Russells of the world: Wrestlers like it when an audience buys into the the performance. The more cheering or booing they hear, the more psyched they are about their match. This isn't just my opinion, wrestlers and promoters have told me this. All to often, if the BSM or Afro squd don't start a chant, or clapping the crowds are dead quiet. That is a huge shame, because the wrestlers feed off the crowd's energy. I wish others would start the chants so we could join in with them!
I saw Blair at WXW. He sat there like a lump. I had to wonder if he really enjoyed pro wrestling or if he just went so he could read his own comments. Agent J assured me Blair IS a fan.

Now one comment REALLY bothers me here. it is easy to "confront" someone on these boards and blogs. But When Agent J did confront Blair, in person, and asked Blair about his issues with him, Blair ran away. You need to grow up Blair. Be adult enough to discuss the matter civilly and respectfully, face to face. Have some honor man. In what I read from Blair Russell, he only respects Blair Russell. So why should any of us respect Blair?

I right now have an issue with Seth, but if Seth came up to me at say an ACW show, and say to me I have a problem with you, I'd by him a drink and sit down and talk with him, because he showed me respect. Gargoyle and I don't always agree, but you don't see us dogging one another. We respect each others' opinion. I don't see Blair showing that respect. His comments are unfortunately written as though his opinion is the only valid one. Sorry to burst the bubble, but all of us have an opinion and they are all equal.
I'd offer to sit down and drink with Blair, but if he's running from Agent J, I must terrify the poor guy
