3) Expect a certain Australian to get his shot... and I don't mean Nathan Jones. (There should be a worked interview up with this person by the end of the week. That's why I'm hinting.) Oh GOD!!! NOT TNT!!! I've had pet cats more over then that guy and HE'S gonna be getting a "world title" Jeez...

It's about time Bill Dundee got his shot at a title that means jack s*** in wrestling. Dale Gagner is a self delusional idiot.
In other breaking news, World Class Championship Wrestling has just dropped out of the NWA! Click Herez.

Even though I know about this, reading the title made me think I fell into Jed's mind. Hahaha... Jed's old. Okay, I could not come up with something as convoluted and asinine as the the current "AWA" and their bizarre press releases and whatnot. Well, okay, the Angle/Austin story was pretty convoluted, but still ... this is beyond even my scope. But what's this "Jed's old" stuff? Don't make me send Chyna and her clenis after you.

Okay gang, here the deal: 1) Dale Gagne wrote the press release. I provided the bullet points. He wanted a modern version of the "Stanley Blackburn screws Hulk Hogan" angle and told me to go from there. 2) Despite what the release says, Zero-1 left the AWA. It had to do with HCW. I'm sorry, but that's all I'm allowed to say at this point. 3) Expect a certain Australian to get his shot... and I don't mean Nathan Jones. (There should be a worked interview up with this person by the end of the week. That's why I'm hinting.) 4) Aside from Mr. Gagne himself, Mister Saint Laurent is one of my absolute favorite people to deal with, along with Kirby Mack and Noah Lott. MSL always takes the ball and runs with it, if I may borrow a sports cliche. So...Dale Gagne is insane. Gotcha.

Dale Gagne changed his name to Gagne from Gagner.
Funny.
Talk about beating a dead horse. I mean, AWA was dead even when Larry held the belt. Does Gagner still wear Members Only jackets and drive a DeLorean?
Come on.
Just throw it AWAy.

This is a dumb question, but is the Gagne who runs "AWA" actually related to Verne Gagne? I'm not familiar with the "new" AWA at all.
He sounds like a nasty jerk (and not a smart one, either).
EDIT: Oh wait, his real name is "Gagner". Great, a fraud. Now I dislike him even more.

A few more things:
1) You know that whole "Larry Zybysko believes he's the real champion" thing? That's real.
2) My original "bullet points" weren't as convoluted... or as insanely bitter.
3) Ricky Landell and Kirby Mack are the future of the AWA. Everyone (and I do mean everyone) in the company believes that.
4) My biggest fear was of (yet another) Dale Gagne heel turn. He makes a serviceable heel, but the AWA doesn't need him to be one right now. I knew that this move wasn't going to be popular, so I suggested that Zybysko and Mister Saint Laurent (MSL) was forcing him to make it. Sadly, his real life bitterness towards "others" came through and, well, it's "heel-turn city" for Mr. Gagne once again.
5) I know that no one believes me, but this situation was not Mr. Gagne's fault. Can't say anymore, but trust me on that one.
6) Tanaka was in line for a long title reign. Mr. Gagne knew what he had there. He's not a moron.
7) This press release is also meant to help put over our big heel faction, Team Vision (Larry Zybysko, MSL, Chasyn Rance, and So Cal Val).
8) Am I "defending" Dale Gagne? Hell yes I am. He gave me a chance when no one else (both in and out of wrestling) would. He might be seem slimy to all of you, but to me, he's a stand-up guy.

I'm sure you respect him and all for everything that he's done for you, but even an outsider such as myself can't see this as being a good situation.

He is a real fake Gagne. It's complicated because he is acctuly Verne's relative and close relation. His last name is Gagner, I think he is an awful promoter personally.
I don't understand why people attack his name though, it's wrestling. The Undertaker is not a real Undertaker nor is little McMahon a real McMahon they are characters they play. He is doing just that playing a character.

I'm sure you respect him and all for everything that he's done for you, but even an outsider such as myself can't see this as being a good situation. He's bitter because of what happened. Again, that's all I can say. While he has made his share of mistakes (we all have), this one wasn't him.

Well, looks like ZERO1-MAX's Prez Nakamura finally responded to the situation on the Z1 English site at www.zerooneusa.com. As many wrestling fans have been made aware, ZERO1-MAX and the AWA have severed ties. This situation has been compounded by various reports on the internet and one very disingenuous press release put out by the AWA. While ZERO1-MAX was ready to make the split amicable, AWA ownership felt it was necessary to release blatant falsehoods in a sad attempt to spin the situation and to bash Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX. It is under these circumstances that Pro-Wrestling ZERO1-MAX President Yoshiyuki Nakamura felt compelled to release the following statement: "I know Dale Gagne personally, but I don't believe he is who he says he is anymore. Is he a "real" Gagne? I think he should show all Pro Wrestling fans his birth certificate to prove it. He told me when ZERO1-MAX became AWA affiliates, 'I will run AWA shows in San Francisco's Cow Palace.' Did he run shows there? I haven't heard that he has. What about the AWA Pay-Per-View show he promised me he would develop? When did this happen? Did I miss it?" "Why did ZERO1-MAX leave the AWA? We believe that Gagne (if that's his real name) cannot build the AWA any bigger than it currently is. I had a dream of a 'reborn AWA.' Yet all the wrestlers were always laughing at Dale, the fans were always laughing at him. CEO? President? Dale is not a "Gagne!" "I love the AWA history, so I stayed with the AWA for almost three full years. ZERO1-MAX did more for the AWA then they ever did for us. Of course I will always respect all former AWA champions, and I hope the AWA gets its act together. I wish them luck in the future." Yoshiyuki Nakamura ZERO1-MAX/Japan

I'd love to defend this, but I can't. My hands are tied. When it comes down to protecting the privacy of a few people that have helped me tremendously (Dale Gagne, Johnnie Stewart, Linda Bade, and Yoshie Nakamura - yes, I have dealt with him on more than one occasion) and "winning an argument," I... I think you know where I'm going with this. Yeah, I know that my credibility is pretty much shot now, but it's really no big deal. That's just how it goes.

He is doing just that playing a character. um, people make a big deal because Undertaker is a character and Hornswoggle being a "McMahon" is a story line, where as this is someone trying to cash in on the name and legacy of someone else
