Super Indy V.
IWC tag team
title match.
Gambinos vs
Burning River Brigade.
Jimmy Demarco
interferes on behalf of his cousins, which causes an
automatic disqualification.
Although M-Dogg
20 and Josh Prohibition won the match, by virtue of
the dq, the Gambinos retain the straps.
Who's first on
the scene, sticking his nose in my business yet
again?
Why, Norm
Connors, of course.
Norm comes
right up to me and says, in that condescending Norm
tone of voice, "What happened NOW?"
Well, if you
must know, being the official assigned this match, I
saw a blatant infraction of the rules. Therefore, I
signaled for the bell.
The same thing
happened one month earlier in a heavyweight title
defense by Shirley Doe. As you all know, in that
instance, Norm decided to change the rules as we
went along and overturned my decision. Of course, we
all know how that ended up, and who walked away with
the last laugh after all.
Face-to-face
with Mr. Connors, I asked him what he was going to
do about it, and then I did the professional thing -
I walked away.
Some may say
that I took the coward's way out. I disagree. I
simply diffused the situation. Trust me, I am a very
non-confrontational person. Seriously.
I find it
funny that I was criticized for calling for the dq
(for the second show in a row) in a title match.
Some say I should have let things go due to the
importance of both matches. Again, I disagree.
How come
nobody has criticized CJ Sensation for stopping the
Super Indy tournament finals between Delirious and
Troy Lords? Sure, Lords had passed out, but he never
gave up! He was never pinned, counted-out, or
disqualified. Even Norm tried getting the match
stopped by throwing in the towel for Lords.
A
double-standard in IWC? Why, never!
I am so sick
of being disrespected. However, I will not go
anywhere.
I love IWC. I
have the utmost respect for everyone in the locker
room. I even like some of the fans. Although, I do
think it was ridiculous that I was actually booed by
a large portion of the crowd at SI V. I don't care,
however. You pay your money, so do whatever you
want.
After all,
most of you are simply Norm's puppets.
I better stop
here before I go off on another tangent. I will say
this, though...
If you keep
pushing me, eventually I'll push back. Watch
yourself, Norm. Believe me when I say that you'd
rather have me on your side than against you.
