OH. MY. GOD.

[Chris Casino]

I lost to frickin' Karl Brown in the damn TEAM tourney. That makes me the ONLY guy from NAPW who has never beaten him.

To say I'm shocked would be an understatement.

Sorry guys........

[Sebastien Martyr]

I beat his other guy not sure on the name... but i doubt that makes you feel better.

[Simply Beautiful]

Honestly, there was no way I thought you lost to Brown. It's is a CHORE to even read his promos, let alone actually enjoy them or even understand the point he's trying to make. And then they knock off Allan too...anti-NAPW bias? Well, Ryan did help judge. I dunno man, it's hard to say. Certainly feels that way though.

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

I didn't judge any match with an NAPW guy involved.

Talk to me on messenger for further commentary.

["LDK" Lloyd Rees]

I can't believe you guys are out!! Am I the only NAPWer left??

Man, that sucks!!

[David Banks]

TEAM hates you


After that verbal bomb you dropped on him, I thought you had him.

[Chris Casino]

Pfffft it's all good. I have other fish to fry anyway bwahahahahah!

[Lex Vain]

If it makes you feel better, I don't even know who that is.

and if that doesn't help, then at least you got through the first round. (because on FEB 10. I figured out that the deadline was FEB. 11 and not FEB. 18, which I though it was)

...not to make excuses

[Prince Darko]

I'm happy I lost. Grin was crushing my promos.

[Chris Casino]

go get 'em Hussey! You salty bastard!

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

I do want to point out that Tom has been nothing but supportive of NAPW, so whatever beefs you may have, Tom Holzerman probably did right by all of you. So be a bit easier on TEAM. Some of you will probably not do a TEAM event and you know that myself personally, I'm never going to push NAPW as being part of any e-wrestling circle. I like getting recognition for NAPW and TEAM has been good to us in many ways.

I still hate the stacking rule and I do feel we're little fish in a big pond and perhaps that hurts us. But let's be professionals in online forums. Feel free to bitch to me and vent though. Just give Tom himself a bit of a break.

I've gotten some impression that for all the good NAPW has done, some people are beginning to feel that they're walking on eggshells with NAPW guys in tournaments, wondering if they'll blow up if they lose. Just something to consider.

[holzerman]

As the head of TEAM, I assure you that there is no bias against NAPW. If there was, I wouldn't be on these forums every time there was a TEAM event, letting you guys know that I want you aboard. An NAPW guy won the ToC. The fed's team went to the playoffs in the Dupree Cup. I mean, you win some, you lose some. That's the name of the game. I don't mean to sound callous, BUT when there's such a public outcry against decisions me and my judges make, then it puts me in a tight place. Do now have to bias my booking to try and please certain people? That's an unfair thing to make me have to do.

Have I screwed up in the past? Of course I have. One such instance was the allowance of Solian to post a buzzer beater when there was more than an hour left in the deadline when the post in question went up. I apologize to SB profusely for that and it should have been caught. However, I would have judged the match to be the same with or without that last RP. But I'm not biased, and any folks I know have raging biases, I keep them away from the things they're biased for/against.

So, I just ask that you look at things from my perspective if just for a second. If you really think any of my decisions are unfair, you can always PM me and I'm more than willing to explain my thought processes to you.

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

I mean, I wasn't allowed to judge the Karl Brown/Casino match. I mean just because I can't stand any of Epyon Marx's characters. What the hell is that about? LET ME JUDGE IT.

Seriously.

[Simply Beautiful]

Don't worry Tom, we're straight. I agree that Solian beat me, after going back and re-reading it all.

[holzerman]

This isn't about admitting defeat, man. You can still think you won but respect a decision against you, y'know?
