I'm back after a rough weekend of getting spearing at JAP by Havok, hanging out with Matthews and Demanto, and going to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. What a fun filled weekend that was! My back is killing me....thank you Havok!

I just got done listening to the Masked Maniac hotline to hear my good pal (cough, cough), Billy Reil, tell me I should retract my statement regarding the RF situation. Well, he was right...I should. Even though I wasn't "of age" Billy, you had no idea. Rob however, knew it from the beginning. If you do the math, and YES, I CAN, Rob is 18 years older then this kid. Which also means Rob is old enough to be this kids father. I used to talk on the phone with Rob almost everyday. We would just bullshit. He would always tell me how he wants to settle down, get married (to a girl) and have kids. It is all a shock to me that all of this happened. However, after a while, it FINALLY hit me, that it was VERY wrong. I actually pictured what it would be like, if an older man tried to fuck one of my little cousins. I also pictured how flipped out I would be if I was a parent, and now I know how Billy feels. In one of Robs last journals, he wrote that I moved in with him. No, that was not true. He told me the reason for him saying that was to make one of his ex- girlfriends jealous. So I'm like, okay, whatever. Now someone at JAPW on Saturday approached me by saying, "i'm mad at you. You could've stopped it since you were there." Well, even if I was there, I don't think anyone could've stopped it. He was the only one who could've stopped himself, and he didn't.

Now, Billy, I NEVER put Rob "over" like you claim I did. It just didn't seem right at the time. It all seemed like a big joke. Its just really sad and depressing to know that this happened. To here all the RF jokes in the JAP locker room on Saturday, and know hat if this never happened, I probably would've been on the phone with him that night. Its just all so weird.

People are so against this whole situation that they won't show up to shows anymore (fans) or workers won't work the show because of what he did. Its logic that now Doug is named CEO/ President, that he didn't BUY ROH and RF Video from Rob, but I think Rob will no longer have anything to do with either companies because of the embarrassment he caused himself. So workers, and fans, in my opinion, are not supporting Rob in any way. The guy is a millionaire, and he can support himself the rest of his life without making another penny, which he probably won't be. Frank Goodman was right when he said the show should still go on, but it should just be postponed. However, I feel Doug is letting the show go on to refrain from disappointing the fans. I WILL be at the show, and as far as I know, I'm on the show.

Wow....okay now changing the subject a little, a few people have been complimenting me as far as my work, and attitude in locker rooms. Becky Bayless was the first. She mentioned to me that my attitude was getting a lot better. Becky, thank you. I really appreciate it and I'm glad to hear from you that I'm getting better. Kevin Matthews, you too! You've also said I'm getting better and I appreciate it. You've taught me a lot about the biz in a short period of time, and you know I'm always gonna listen to you. April Hunter, I've always looked up to you, and you have been one of the nicest people I know in this business. You are nothing but nice, respectful, and helpful to me. You were awesome to work with at JAP, and I hope we can work together again in the future. I have so much respect for you, and thank you for helping me out. And Buff E! Your my boy! Thanks for always complimenting me, it means a lot! I'm always willing to work, even though I'm not fully trained. Whether its regular spots, taking a bump, whatever...I'm always up to do something so I'm not the volunteer 5th ring post.

I'll probably head back to training next week. I've been going to school at night. Now that I'm done, I can't wait to get back in the ring, but this time instead of BWO, I'll be going to AWA. Hey its worth a shot, and I hear lots of good things about thats school.

Well, I'm out. I hope all is well with everyone. But you KNOW my column isn't complete without my list of SHOUT OUTS......

Jay Lethal, Sean, Mikey, Funker, Goodman, Fat Frank, Ray, Ricky O, Carmine, Ref Hanson, Ariel, Ref Garry, Ref Turner, DRS, Solution, CSC, Azrieal, Bravado, Alicia, Tobin, Inferno (good luck in OVW twinkle toes...lol), Lowlife Louie, Adler ($50), Penny and the ESK
