Before I get going in my weekly rant, I first want to apologize for coming off incorrectly on the Masked Maniac hotline. Alot of people probably have no idea what I'm talking, and I didn't think that talking about this publicly would help matters because it was nothing but a big goof up on my behalf. Basically, the Maniac was asking me various questions that I answered . The one that I'm talking about here is about Alicia.. Alicia is a very good friend of mine, and I was asked a few questions about her that Maniac always asks me everytime he interviews me. This time however I decided to change the answers figuring it would be hillarious to imagine Danny Demanto calling up and losing his lunch. (Demanto has a Crush). I also figured that I had 3 more minutes on the hotline to mention that this was nothing more than a rib to Demanto beings that it was twelve minutes in and the hotline usually lasts 15 minutes. However the hotline cut off right afer I began the rib, and I didn't get a chance to do it over. After this debacle I was called earlier and told of the numerous message board posts that were created in the past few days. Obviously this would have never happend if I didn't try to rib Danny. I truly apologize for this, as I have you used this column for an apology before, but this time I do mean this sincerly, as Alicia is like a little sister to me, and I have nothing but respect for her and her family, who I consider family to me. Vultures in wrestling live for shit like this to happen, so they can go posts on message boards and make people upset.

I take full responsibility for this, but I really had no idea that the hotline was going to cut off like that. Just thinking about WM and Linda reading about nonsense really upset me, but like I said if I didn't try to be cute with Demanto this would never have happend. I'm sorry...

On another subject that was touched on the hotline The Maniac told me that many people were dissapointed about the way I handled a certain situation regarding my employment with SSCW. "Billy Reil doesn't do that." I think was the quote that he said, and in a way he's right. I think Billy Reil wasn't being Billy Reil and that's the core of that problem. With that being said Billy Reil and SSCW have parted ways... I know that everybody came to see me and my cousin Vicious Vin anyway. I will say that I do like Simon and I do like Carmine, but I do not like politics. If I wanted to be a kiss ass I would have chose another profession that actually pays the bills when you kiss ass. I'd rather live on my feet than die on my knees.
