Just in case you missed it at wrestlingnewscenter.com....you need to read this....
A story I didn't get to cover as much as I wanted a while back aside from a discussion Neil Taylor and I had during his last interview on CHR, was the Ripley, MS. show where "promoter" Kenny Valiant under the name XOW (because the name of his former promotion All Pro is mud after all his douchebaggery)...ran a show featuring a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin impersonator....if you haven't already read Axeman's column go to the link below where he gives some detail and provides a couple of pictures of this 'Stone Cold' wannabe....go ahead, read it...I'll wait and then come back for my 2 cents..
Axeman Speaks- 7/1/11 at wrestlingnewscenter.com
Ok....so my 2 cents on that. I agree with Axeman's assessment that this guy doesn't look that much like Austin...the picture on the poster makes him look more like a Kid Nikels impersonator than Steve Austin. Now the one thing I disagree with is where he said he was shocked that Kenny would do this....He's watched Valiant do this for years with that phony Undertaker he books...now granted he never outright called him "Undertaker" on the poster, it was always "The Deadman" but it's the same basic premise....As for him "having respect for the business", Kenny has NONE and never has, Kenny Valiant has always been a con man and shyster who was trying to make a quick buck and it's funny THIS is what it took for EVERYONE to finally see that. Sad thing is...this won't be his last stunt...he'll be back with a fake Sting or "Jon Seenuh" impostor or something.
So sad...and just another nail in the coffin of a once great industry.....
