Tim Dolan on SCW Speaks on the State of SCW & Rob Hochman
After SCW promoter Rob Hochman faked his own death, only to realize that not alot of people cared that he died and offending the few that did, SCW has been in complete shambles. The following statement comes from Rob's former partner, Tim Dolan:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From the beginning of November, the situations surrounding SCW were unclear. What was going on? What would happen with SCW. Could this be for real? Everyone had a million questions going through their heads, and everyone wanted answers. Personally for me I yanked the message board within that first week because the message board was on my server. I wanted nothing to do with the whole situation. I will not expose the truth and what went on behind the scenes of the situation, but I will say this. From the beginning, this was not my idea and will not be blamed on me. Certain circumstances led up to what happened in the first week of November, and with that being said, certain things were decided on. What was meant to be a huge work turned out to be a devestating blow to many. I for one had nothing nor will I have anything to do with it. From mid November my intentions were clear, I would not participate in what was a tradition for me, attending SCW shows. Anyone who has been around the SCW shows has seen me doing a variety of tasks, from picture guy to security to crowd control, hell, I wore many hats when it came belltime for SCW. I spent countless hours behind the scenes working on this very website and graphics, posters, and many other items of interest.
This is not a I am a disgruntled employee saga story, because I am not disgruntled. I am fucking pissed. I am pissed off at the fact of what happened. I cannot believe that someone who says that have someone's back would stab someone like they have. From the beginning of this whole work it was announced that the new CEO was none other than myself. Well fans, that is lie #2. Lie #1 was the work itself.
I never once had any intentions of getting into that ring as the new CEO of SCW, nor will I ever. As far as I am concerned, anyone can have that title, its something that I do not want. I am quite happy being in the shadows making it look good design wise than I would be talking in the ring and making wrestlers lives a living hell. It is something that yes I can dream of, but lets face it, I do not have the body or the voice to be in wrestling, period. From the beginning it was told to the man that I would not be at the show. It'll be fine, we'll take care of it. Then bulletin after bulletin was released through the company's MySpace site stating the same facts, even including my personal cell phone number in those posts in case anyone wanted more details surrounding the "work."
Here is the breakdown of everything from the ones working their ass's off to promote and make this show a huge success.
1. The boys (Death, War, Famine, Pestilence (aka Minion), Christopher Shane, 2DXtreme) have been screwed. They will no longer associate themselves with Rob Hochman nor SCW. If you want to see any of these guys work other promotions, please feel free to check out another promotion they work with, the AIWF.
2. This was a complete work on behalf of the CEO and promoter, Rob Hochman. The boys were not involved in this work whatsoever. The boys were actually worked themselves. Don't have harsh feelings towards the workers, as they would have not participated had they known.
3. I myself knew the entire time of the "work" and was not happy nor going along with it. Rob himself made the changes to the website, promoted his own tribute show, and had posters and tickets printed all for his memorial show. Rob also collected the advance ticket money. For those people wishing to have their advance money refunded, please call him on his cell phone, otherwise known as the SCW Office number, at 843-241-3906.
4. This website is not owned by Rob Hochman. This website is owned by a former partner in SCW. The former partner has nothing to do with this entire situation and has not been affiliated with SCW since April 2006. This website will be removed in a few weeks, with all information on the site.
Rob's claims of the building screwing the show are false. Rob knew of the deposit to be made for the building along with the fees being paid upfront but claims that they lost the money order. The Armory claims that he is full of shit.
There are alot of pissed of fans I am sure, but imagine being a worker driving 8 hours to do a show and making that drive just to find out that the promoter did not have a sack of balls to cancel not only the show but the workers themself. Let Rob claim what he wants, but all in all, Rob Hochman is alive and laughing at us all. This is the time to stand up for yourself and make a decision. Will you let the actions of Rob Hochman kill your love for wrestling, or will you stand up, and view him for the piece of shit that he is. He will make press releases in the upcoming weeks claiming that he did none of these things and has been out of the country for a while or working in Connecticut for Vince, which is also a lie. I have bit my tongue on this entire subject many many times, and I have the backup to prove it. I am not scared to stand up for my actions, and will do so right now. I am sorry to anyone that I have discussed this matter with and have lied to, but after 3 days of the story beginning, I was done and not associating myself with it. In the beginning I was misguided and told lies to help perpetrate my actions, but realized I was a pawn in this big game. To the boys who were worked, I am sorry for bringing you into this, as I know that some of you were really upset over the news. For the ones who knew it was a work from the beginning, I told you I would come clean with this. Rob is a piece of shit and you fans deserve better. You deserve someone who would take care of you and run a show for the fans, not just for a buck.
In closing, please remember two things.
1. SCW does not have a valid promoter's license in the state of SC. It expired in the end of November / early December.
2. Wrestling will be coming to Myrtle Beach soon, but under a different banner and owners. I guarantee you that Rob Hochman will not be involved in the company coming to run Myrtle Beach. The 15 year old company coming in will treat you fans with respect, and will not begin to assume that you are dumb fans, they will pour out their heart and blood just to send you home happy.
Thank you all for your continued support over the many years I have worked with SCW and Rob Hochman. I am sorry for what he has done. He cannot change this message, as I have blocked him out of this website in full. This is coming from me, and this will be my last ever post of anything on the SCW Website.
Thank you,
Tim Dolan
Webmaster and not the new CEO
