DOI Note:The following is an open commentary from indy wrestler Malia Hosaka, as she follows up her previous commentary from several days ago.

First, let me say that I am sorry for the misinterpretation of my post in EZ's Yahoo group that seemed to cause the turmoil here. My post and views were NOT directed to Angel as much as they were to what she said. No one likes to get "screwed" on their deals and money and had she just simply warned everyone about the company without coming across full of herself then perhaps my "feathers" would not have been ruffled. I, as well as many others with time and experiance, am thoroghly fed up with the lack of tradition and respect that has come about lately... if I take it personally, well then my only excuse is that I take this business personally. I love it and the fans, I have paid my dues and am thankful for my veterans, whether I like them or agree with them or not, God Bless them for paving the way and showing me the business and traditions.

Second, as far as me suddenly re-appearing... well, JTW, [The webmaster of Glory Wrestling] I have always stopped by from time to time, I didn't know I was not welcome here. I posted about Team PMA returning for fun since EZ and Syren had attended the convention. I did not post my feelings about everything, I linked it just as you had told me to do so many months ago when we disagreed on my post being deleted or edited. It was in a place where everyone could have replied freely as well. However, if you are not going to allow links to thinks this site would not approve normally then perhaps you should talk to Lady Victoria because last time I checked you did not approve of her POD's and things being included in this site, but is is fine for the link to exist. Or does this just stand for me "the former GLORY girl, who has not knowledge"?

Third, while I may not have been at the convention, you also do not know everything that went on there either. There was friction in your lockerrroom, attitudes and disrespect shown, as well as one of the girls who was injured. This girl can say accidents happen, but most of the girls who saw what happened do not believe it was an accident, especially after hearing the things stated in the back.

Finally, I am sorry I was broke in the business with the values and morals of "old-school" training. I will continue to stand by and live that way in the business and to teach it to those who come behind me. If that makes me the bd guy then so be it. You can say all you want about the Debbie Combs's, Judy Martin's, and Luna's of this business, but these women did it right. They were the best in their day and they taught me to expect no less from myself and the generations that followed.

DOI Note: The following is an open letter from Malia Hosaka, as she comments about the Angel Williams situation with ELW, and the ELW promotion as a whole. The following are her words only:

My thoughts on the ELW

Ok, First let me say thata in NO way do I condone the fact that girls lost money and did not get what they were promised. When a person decides to run a show they should have all the funds they need in an account to cover their agreements prior to making the first phone call. IMO to run a show and count on sponsors anf the gate to pay the wrestlers, ring truck, building, etc. is not only stupid but unprofessional. That being said, let's get real... alomost EVERY new promotion out there gets their start that way. VERY rarely will we (the wrestlers) ever come across a new promotion that has the money they claim to have backing them, especially locate independant promoters running for the first time, so expect to get screwed! Now then, (Angel) welcome to the business! Who the F ddo you think you are??? a little TV time with TNA does not a star make you! Here's a news flash, tits and ass are a dime a dozen in this business, talent is what is lacking and sweety you have TOO much of an ego to ever aquire the talent I have seen in these other girls. YOU cut a friend a deal?? You have a set price but waas being nice?? yet you were taking a booking fee from him for your other friend?? Be honest, what you were doing was working a fn and trying to seem like the "nice guy" doing him a favor in HIS eyes yet looking out for yourself. I have friends in this business that could call me today and I would be at their show with no questions asked and not even expect to get paid because of their friendship. I have watched Dustin Rhodes had his pay off back to a friend who had booked him, that is what friends do in this business, they remember and help thise who have tried to help them. Business is business, but don't go around posting as if you are some great draw and the people all showed up to see you and the rest of the card was just along for the ride. Try paying your dues for a change, and part of doingn so is getting screwed on money. Hell, be glad that he at least tried to give each of you something for showing up, he could have simply kept what little he did make to recover what he put out for the building and advertisement, etc and let you all go without a dime. And who's bright idea is it to turn it into a legal matter?? Save your email and write down your phone conversations?? What are you all going to do sue him together? You can't get blood from a turnip. But go ahead and stick together and file a lawsuit, think thata won't hurt you all the way to the WWE?? I am sure Vince is just dying to hire a few more egotistical women who he'll have to worry about filing some class action lawsuit together. Why is it we want to be in a man's world but cry and whine like little girls when things like this happen? Do you ever hear of the boys saying "let's sue, him" NO! They aren't happy when it happens but they at least take it in stride and are glad to have a place to work and an opportunity to learn their craft. So, until all of you get a name like Hulk Hogan and are as big of a draw as Mick Foley and actually deserve to sit in the same lockerroom with your veterans I think you should drop your egos and attitudes and pay your dues!
