It's been a long couple weeks since "Game of Gold", with last week seeming to be endless. After countless meetings with my staff and investors in SSW, I have to admit that I am astounded at the depths of damage one man can inflict on an organization. Of course, it was my decision to afford Devin Diamond the powers he came to abuse, and now I have the daunting task of rectifying the situation to the best of my ability. And frankly, much of it there is nothing I can do anything about...legally anyways.

All I can say at this point is what is for certain. Due to Mr. Diamond's shrewdness, we are legally bound by the confines of the agreements and the contracts he set forth prior to his actions at the close of our event on 12/29. Therefore, the outcome of the SSW Championship match between Vic Capri and Justice Jones is official, and Justice Jones is undoubtedly the current SSW Champion. Under the confines of the contract to that match, publicly agreed to and signed by both competitors, and under the powers bestowed on Mr. Diamond by SSW to assign officials to matches, there is no question as to the validity of the match or it's outcome.

Personally, I don't like it, and I wish I could roll back the clock to over 5 years ago and let Devin Diamond disappear into the ethos when I had the chance. Now, Devin was fully in his rights (at the time) to name Dave Rydell the replacement official to end the match, and the rules of the "Last Man Standing" match unfortunately made any sort of disqualification due to interference a moot point.

So, with that, I regretfully apologize to everyone, and without further rambling, I make the sincere promise that I will not rest until I make right the wrongs bestowed upon SSW, and it will start at our next event on February 9th!"

"First off, I hope everyone has had a fantastic New Year so far. I sincerely thank you all for your support in making 2013 the most amazing and successful year in our history. It was an amazing ride that for numerous reasons I could never have imagined possible when we started over a decade ago. We had many great matches, many new faces, and many surprises in the past year.

Unfortunately, as many of you saw, on December 29th, at the conclusion of "Game of Gold", we experienced a shocking betrayal by one of our own that has unfortunately compromised the integrity of our organization. When SSW Commissioner Devin Diamond interfered in the SSW Championship match by first attacking referee Mike Fleigh and then later joining Justice Jones and Dave Rydell in their assault on then SSW Champion Vic Capri, he clearly crossed the boundaries of conduct becoming of upper management of SSW, as well as leaving our future in flux.

That said, due to Mr. Diamond's unfortunate actions, I have called for a mandatory meeting of SSW management and our investors, which will be taking place later this week. We will be addressing the situation that transpired on the 29th, reviewing the contractual statuses of everyone involved in the "incident" that took place, as well as reviewing the validity of the outcome of the aforementioned SSW Championship match...as well as other issues regarding the future of SSW.

I sincerely wish I could give you more information at this time, but, I do promise that we will be having some major news and updates in the coming weeks regarding the future of SSW as we roll into 2014 and on to our expected return to The Brat Stop on February 9th. I apologize for my silence on this issue until now, but, the past week was a whirlwind and I felt it best to keep my silence until the proper actions were taken.

I do thank everyone for their concern for my well being, as well as for that of referee Mike Fleigh and Vic Capri. Though definitely battered and bruised, I assure you all that we are all doing well. I am nothing short of amazed at the resilience of Vic Capri after the brutality of his match with Justice Jones, and to further then have survived the assault he took afterwards. To be honest, he is lucky to still be able to walk after what he has been through over the past few months, and if ever there was a man to show us how to be a fighting champion, look no further than "The Icepick".

In closing, all I ask is to please be patient with me, and in due course I promise that one way or another I will find a way to make things right. I am hoping our meeting this week will be the first of many steps to lead our organization in the right direction and on to an even brighter future in 2014!"
