This is a quick update…and I’m only doing this because I am a bit outraged about some of the events that took place last night at Ringside Wrestling in Plainfield, CT. I had the assignment to referee the match between RW Heritage Champion, “The Pinnacle of Perfection” Paul Lombardi and challenger Alex Chamberlain. Before the match could go on, Paul took the microphone from Sheldon Goldberg to make some statements and demands.

RW Champion "Pinnacle of Perfection" Paul Lombardi

Paul Lombardi ridiculously slandered me in front of the RW fans. I don’t understand where he gets off saying that my hair is a distraction, or that I am a liability to RW. Then he went to say that I am a biased referee with the speed of my counts. I have never been a biased official in my career. However, the man he demanded to be the referee in the match is most definitely a biased official. Sheldon Goldberg granted Paul’s demands, and sent me to the back. I have no problem with Sheldon Goldberg for making that decision. My only problem is with Paul Lombardi’s slanderous remarks towards me. I thank Sheldon for standing by my reliability as an impartial referee.

The RW Senior Official, Rich Bass seems to be in a close friendship with Paul Lombardi. I don’t know exactly what is going on with this, but something needs to be done soon. I just hope someone in RW management reviews the tapes and does something of this disgraceful act!
