Fans what follows is a copy of a thread on the message board attached to CCW's new website www.coliseumprowrestling.com under a thread listed as talent. What I want to know is who the snake in the grass is that gave this "new Owner" my phone number so I could act as his personal message delivery system. Keep your eyes open because there is a Benedict Arnold among us. Don't worry Brian those of us loyal to Eric's dream will not let it die.

See this is why CCW is so easy to pick up. No one is satisfied with the product... the fans or the wrestlers and to quote Abe Lincoln "A house divided cannot stand." I have laid the ground work for this for two years. I know that with the right hand to guide it that the Coliseum can return to its former position as one of the most respected venues in the sport of professional wrestling, but to do that heads must roll. I am intimately aware of the problems in front of and behind the scenes of CCW because there are those within the organization that will be more than happy to see that wannabe gangsta thug Brian Acker removed from the Evansville wrestling scene like the cancer he is. CCW has been ripe for the picking since the death of Eric Acker and I have bided my time until the time was right. What makes this the right time?
1) The weekly attendance has dropped to an all time low of 30 to 40 each week. This organization was set up as a fund raising arm for the Veterans Council. How much fund raising can you do with such poor attendance? Is the Veteran Council happy... would you be?
2) As voiced here and on other boards the few fans left and the true fans who refuse to show up for what currently passes as CCW are loudly opposed to the talent and product being offered to them.
3) The blame has finally come home to roost where it should. Although there are those that attempt to blame the booker in an attempt to earn the job for themselves, those who know anything about the wrestling business at all know that you can't book a wrestler if you have no money to pay him with. The blame at CCW lies with the owner Mr. Brian Acker and his failure to consistently promote his show in any way. How ridiculous is it that in Evansville when you mention wrestling at the Coliseum the only response you get is "Are they still doing that?" Between that and his total lack of people skills in front of and behind the curtains Brian Acker has been a one man destroyer of what little reputation CCW had left. It seems that the only response that Mr. Acker has to any criticism of his attempt to run a wrestling company is to resort to name calling, take off whatever over sized jersey he is wearing to reveal his pasty white body, and threaten to beat someone's @ss... and he wonders why no one in the wrestling business takes him seriously. Whether it is threatening fans or launching attack that drove away some of the hottest young talent on the independent scene today everything he does drives one more nail in the coffin.
I know from interviewing former CCW staff and wrestlers that they are not interested in returning as long as Brian Acker is in charge. He isn't smart enough to recognize those who would help his company from those who are only kissing his @ss to further their own agendas.
There are those within the company who understand the business and are good at what they do. Hold on a little longer and your prayers will be answered. Brian Acker's days of running and ruining CCW are coming to an end. I look forward to working with you. Those of you including the young wrestlers who are working for nothing, Dave Matthews, Walt, and the veterans who stay out of respect for what Evansville has meant to wrestling or out of respect for Eric Acker... your day is coming and I thank you for your dedication.
To the fans you have a right to be angry with what is being shoved down your throats every week but I kindly ask that you direct your anger to where it is deserved. Show nothing but the utmost respect to those who bust their @ss for you every week to do their best with a horrible situation. Show love to the wrestlers and workers of CCW and save your contempt for the real reason CCW is in this shape Brian Acker.
A final note for any who might read this who have been chased off by Mr Acker's antics whether they are wrestler or fan. Return now because I know you want to be there when he gets what he deserves and he is sent packing from CCW. I am coming and there is nothing he can do about it. My apologies to anyone he has offended with his vulgar rants and I promise I will make it Right.

Response by one of the Oboys:
Sounds like some poo is about to go down in CCW. The eyes of the Oboys are on you Mr Big Talker, so im expecting you to deliver. This isnt a shot at Brian, because i respect him for carring on his brothers company, but i would look forward to a shot in the arm at CCW. Good luck getting the crowds up on a weekly basis. To me the only way to raise attendance is to have a montly show, instead of a weekly show. People in Evansville are stupid to "talent" in Wrestling, so big names prolly wont even do the trick. When Ian ran Evansville, he promoted for weeks, guys like Christoper Daniels, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and Abyss and drew about 50 people. That being said, i would welcome some talent back to CCW in a heartbeat and it would at least put some more asses from Owensboro in the seats.

Response by Brian:
This does not suprise me at all. All i have 2 say is over my dead body will i ever pack my stuff and run away with my tail between my legs. To whom ever you are pack your lunch cuz we fixn to have a show down at the ok corral and I'm feel'n a litttle bit like Wyatt Earp Been in a lot of battles with thousands of shots fired and never even grazed by a bullet. Looks like the name calling and threats you talk of maybe you should practice what you preach. I'm a thug a 50 cent reject ohhhh you really hurt my feelings not. My brother always told me you are who you are and i love you for that never changed 4 no one never ran from nothing always said what you meant. Lil brotha you are one of a kind i'm no wigger , no wannabe. You are right i am a whatever you say i am but i have nuts something you have none of. I have been walking through the valley with the shadows of death and since My brother has been gone i've been walking throgh the valley by my d**n self. Full speed ahead not scared to die , get beat up , or anything else. So when my time is up its up. You want this company come get it its going to be a dirty no holds barred dog fight and i ain't rolling over so it is what it is. There's no kool aid running through my vains, you know where i am come get it.
