Guest Doyo Report post Posted March 4, 2004 So this happened in September, and they're reporting it now after finishing the story up, right? That disclaimer automatically shows up on all their cases over there. RF is sole owner of ROH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 M.L. Curly had a weekly column in the Detroit Free Press (may other papers, as well, but that was where I read his columns) on wrestling that was pretty smarkish. A lot of my "insider" knowledge in the early 90s came from his columns (i.e. whatever happened to, what's going to happen, etc.). He was usually pretty accurate and most things he said would happen usually came to be. I'm in the dark as to what's happened to him in recent years (although the namedrop earlier in the thread would suggest it wasn't good). Anyone know what became of him?

"hehehehehehe I called it Ring of Homos right from the first show" Pedophilia != homosexuality Michrome said on DVDR that Gabe said in an ROH online chat room that the upcoming shows are still on, but that he wouldn't comment on the situation. The message you quote, BTW, was posted on ROH's board by Barnett, then deleted. The guy on DVDR just copied and pasted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doyo Report post Posted March 4, 2004 The person that did this "bust" over there has done 45 previous ones, dating back to August 2003. I don't think anything will come out of this as far as the law is concerned. Law enforcement is strapped for resources and don't do any more than they have to. Unless it is their own sting operation or some type of lawsuit is filed, they won't touch it. I saw a thing on the Tech TV show Cybercrime about child porn webmasters and how the law only has the time to go after the most blatant offenders. If they did set some type of sting up, you would think that RF would be smart enough to avoid it in the future. Just another thought - on any given weekend some of our favorite wrestlers probably have sex with 14 year olds. ROH won't go anywhere. This is the wrestling business where people like New Jack can still get work after threatening to have promoter's daughters gangraped. ROH could probably actually use this to make money. RF doesn't even have to show up to the shows and they could do a fake transfer of ownership to Gabe or whoever if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just read it yesterday, so seeing this is all happen is pretty weird. Anyway, from the sound of the story, law enforcement is extremly harsh on offenders, and put a lot of time and effort into nailing the bad guys...and these bad guys truly are bad guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 And BTW guys, who are Mike King and M.L. Curly? Not sure about Curly... But Mike King is/was a tape trader who RF sent to jail for bootlegging tapes (Smell the hypocrisy!!) That's pretty funny. Billy Corgan, a huge wrestling fan, once busted Feinstein of bootlegging a lot of his music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
