Derek Sabato 10/30/2012: CHIKARA fans consider themselves the smartest of all wrestling fans. They know what comic book covers CHIKARA bases the DVD covers off of. They think they know the in's and out's of the company. They know what Wink's going to do before Wink knows what he's going to do. I know...I read CHIKARA101.com. When I finish reading it, I have to turn my computer monitor off and slam my head into it a couple times to make sure the brain cells I lost reading their idiotic ideas and thoughts didn't make me a completely brain-dead fool.

The short term memory of CHIKARA fans is another thing that amazes me. You can remember who won with this submission move in 2005 on the exact date somebody else won with the same submission move in 2008 and "THERE'S A LINK THERE! I BET YOU SOLDIER ANT USED THE CHIKARA SPECIAL THERE BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TO IT!" Or he used the CHIKARA Special because it's a successful move that's won him championships against everyone but the BDK and GEKIDO. All the things you remember...yet you seem to forget the actual important things.

Like Wink would not be running CHIKARA right now if it wasn't for YOU. You demanded Dieter be replaced by someone. While Dieter's job was on the line, you complained (to the same man you now complain about) about the BDK and that Dieter was being unfair to YOUR favorite CHIKARA wrestlers. You said he was messing everything up. You said he had to go. And the man assigned to the job of assessing the situation listened and reported back to his superiors. What happened then? The best Director of Fun in company history was deposed. And through some arcane magic I certainly don't understand, this unqualified nutjob took his place. Can anyone explain to me what qualifies Wink Vavasseur to preside over a wrestling organization?

Now you want me to replace Wink? You were the reason I was fired from CHIKARA all those years ago! You booed me every time I walked through the curtain, when all I did was my job. You think I'm here to help the fans? I'm here to cure the chaos that Wink has brought to CHIKARA because of YOU. YOU created the problem. You made people like "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush and "The Last of a Dying Breed" Eddie Kingston think they were above people and gave them the ability to act Holier Than Thou. When Mike Quackenbush wrenched 17's ankle in Indianapolis ending his career, the whole crowd gave him a standing ovation and called for more. Eddie Kingston disrespects the man in charge, and you laugh like it's a sitcom.

You're using Wink as the scapegoat for the real problem with CHIKARA: the CHIKARMY. You are as ignorant and bloodthirsty as wrestling fans come, and if you know where I've worked, then you know I've seen the worst. You disagree with Wink and call for his head. You want me to replace him. We all know what's going to happen if I take his job. I disagree with you and you'll call for my head as well. I don't want to appease you. I'm not going to go on a campaign for your support or try to sell $5 buttons and beg and plead for your approval. I don't need it.

I know what I can do for CHIKARA. I can make it bigger than Wink can. What I don't need is the support of lowlife fans who love you one minute and hate you the next. You're like a tankful of developmentally-disabled goldfish. Along with a majority of the CHIKARA roster, you're the biggest hypocrites in professional wrestling today. You cheer your "heroes," but let me tell you something: there are no such things as heroes. Maybe in the comic books and video games you play, but not in real life. You make me out to be the villain because you want things neatly divided up in your little cartoon fantasy. That's a familiar construct to you. But that doesn't work in real life. In real life, when someone goes off the deep end, you don't give them a standing ovation. In real life, when his partner stands up to him, you don't boo him. Only the CHIKARA goldfish swimming around in their tank think that's acceptable.

Hypocrites.
