Dearest IWF "Wrestlers" and Management...

Dearest IWF "Wrestlers" and Management...

Posted: Sep 1st 2010 By: mikeiles

Oklafan Editor's Note: The following is an open letter from Asylum Championship Wrestling owner Brandon Bishop to IWF Premier Wrestling in Colorado.

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG UNTIL IT REACHES THE DESIRED PARTIES...

I kept quiet for about a week, regarding the events that occured at our August 21st 8th Anniversary event. But now I figure it's as good as time as any to make a public rebuttal.

But first, let me explain why ACW "Invaded" your July 11th event in Golden, Colorado. First off, Golden is such a beautiful little town up in the mountains, and we always enjoy any opportunity to see see some sights and get out and breathe the mountain air.

The reason we decided to stop into the Buffalo Rose, was pretty simple on our part. For Months, probably YEARS, little people, with little negative thoughts and giant mouths have been putting them into overdrive trashing and slandering ACW. I don't need to name names, but i'm sure they certainly know who they are. The funny thing to me, is that none of these little people could muster up enough intestinal fortitude to say such things directly to me or anyone else on my team. It's always from third party sources, or internet blog sites, or shout boxes, or any other number of indirect mediums.

Well guys, sometimes when you sharpen your tongues on those outside of your willing reach, those outside of your reach find a way to make themselves accesible, and that's exactly what we did. We came in force, we all bought tickets and probably made you a few extra dollars. We all orders drinks and food, made your venue a few extra bucks, and just had ourselves a great time at your expense.

Now I have nothing personal against many of the IWF roster members, hell quite a few of them (The Better ones) all call ACW their main home promotion. And of course I understand wanting to get more ringtime etc. So to those that were trying to do their thing, that found us to be an interuption, first off, thicken your skin and expect the unexpected in this business or quit, but secondly, we half heartedly apologize...

We never got physical, we never made threats, we just wanted to show those of which we speak of, that we were NOT afraid of your threats and slander, and wanted to give you every chance in the world to back up your worlds. You didn't... Outside of some large half Asian guy whose name I cannot promounce, no one did anything....

So over a month goes by, ACW gears up for our 8th Anniversary, an important night for me and this company. I get jumped by my old mentor Bad Brad Michaels, ACW Champion Jesse Williams, JAson Noal , Uncle Mikey Quinn and my ex-Girlfriend Jessica Love...I'm carried into the back and completely hanging out in LALA land... I hear from others that during the Mitch Carter/Dallas Murdoch match a bunch of ugly jabronis ran in from the crowd and attacked them both. I heard that security handled it and outside of taking up about 10 minutes of our show nothing really bad came of it. Later on I found out it was the IWF's big answer to our visit. I started wondering if theyw ere planning to attack me, but the QUinn faction beat them to it, so they just decided to pick another spot to make themselves known...

Later while watching the video I see my old pal Joey Kincaide joining the IWF faction and also killing Mitch and Dallas. Hmmm... So I could file charges, I could easily have IWF in so much legal muck that they'd close their doors within months, BUT that's not how we do things in the wrestling world is it? I have a much bigger and better idea... Let's make this fun.

Kincaide... Big tough man.. I know, Back in the Saga days we beat each others asses in a best of 3 series of matches ending in a bloody violent Hardcore Match that nearly killed both of us. I left that match with a broken left hand, cracked rib and a wooden stake stuck in my cranium. But don't forget who won that match Joey...This guy... And no matter how bad ass you truly think you are, I mirror it. You may have been the hardcore son of a bitch before I moved to Colorado, but now you're swimming in my shadow.

I think we'll have to make another visit to an upcoming IWF show, just to say hello and throw out the same challenge im about to throw out right now. And I have to credit IWF for running their next event on September 11th, the same night we'll debuting be in front of hundreds of fans in Cripple Creek at The Double Eagle Casino. So I guess on that night we'll have to call an involuntary truce eh? Then again, I may have a few guys that might show up and say hello... anyways...

Here's how I say we have ourselves a little fun in the midst of all this drama and conflict... On saturday October 30th at The City Auditorium (The Building my security team kicked you out of ) ACW will be having the 4th ever CAGE WARS EVENT... That's right, a TEN FOOT HIGH STEEL CAGE will surround our ring. It's designed to tear flesh and change lives... IWF brings ten of their very best, ACW provides ten of our very best... We have ourselves a 20 Man ACW vs. IWF CAGED BATTLE ROYALE! Your guys will be eliminated one by one by being throw over the top of the cage and to the floor below, or pushed out the cage door... You guys call yourself hardcore and violent... PROVE IT!

I brought it up to the guys and have had an overwhelming response. I'll have no issue assembling a team of ten, will you? We don't need any stipulations of added non sense, just bring everyone together for some good family fun...

In Closing... If IWF wants to call this a war, feel free to call it one.. But ACW is looking at this as a joke. A Small fire we're going to stomp out with the soles of our boots. The talents levels, production levels, and just overall promotional levels bewteen ACW and IWF are vast and intense. You want a war, be careful what the hell you ask for. As once again owner of Asylum Wrestling, I get to have as much fun with you as I want to, and for now I'm just going to let my eager guys do the light work... Trust me, you do not want Brandon Bishop standing across the ring from any of you... I will hurt in ways that these other guys are far too nice to.

So i'll be waiting for an answer...we'll all be waiting for an answer.. think hard.. Give us your very best... Keep the backyarders and punk ass jabronis at home, they would probably die in an ACW ring.

See you all real soon.... And Tamara, sorry about the ice cold water on those fantastic boobs... But dont lie, I know you're starting to like me...Haha
