My explanation

[Thunderkiss]

I just want to clear the air on a few things before I just jump back into things pretending some things didn’t happen.

First and foremost, the reason why I left is because I feel I was told to leave. I may be too proud for my own good, but when somebody who has senior capacity tells me “Like it or Leave” – I’m going to leave. I don’t care if it’s a job, class or anything else – when somebody says something like that – its disrespectful to me as a man. If there is something you feel I am doing wrong … look private chat or email me about it and I’ll set down and talk to you about it. One correct thing that was said is I am impulsive. I admit to being impulsive and perhaps if I did listen to Shawn a bit more this whole thing wouldn’t have happened. I am at fault there.

However, I am a bit frustrated at the appearance and belief that I am a backstage “troublemaker” here in ACW. I can see where perhaps some thought I was causing trouble with Lambert a few days ago in the chat, but the truth about that is it was about stuff that happened between us long before I came to ACW. My regret is that I didn’t take it to private chat and instead provided a show that did make me look like an angry son of a bitch. Though for Nick Durden to say an “ultimatum” needed to be laid out is completely and totally ridiculous. I’ve seen bitching – I’ve dealt with players who need an ultimatum. I feel most of my comments were completely more sarcastic in nature. To say I need an ultimatum is trash and compares me to those who have done such things as “cyber stalked” others.

Now about my tirades about Adrian Flamingo. Typing my response to this is hard to do, because I am totally at fault and am ashamed at the way I acted in some situations. My story lines have crossed over into reality and I became frustrated that something’s were coming more easier for Flamingo than they were for me. Though the “TK” expert himself, Nick Durden, would have you believe its jealousy .. I feel its more confusion & frustration than anything. I will admit right now to Flamingo, I called you and do believe you are an Adrian Adonis knock off. But you know what, I am totally a Hulk Hogan rip off so its all the same. Also Adrian, I do respect your work and respect you as a person and I do not *hate* you. I honestly have no clue on what “vulgar” remark I apparently said but I am most certain I didn’t say anything about you that would be classified as “vulgar”. Though I may not agree on all of the praise about you, you are a good roleplayer.

Also, Nick Durden, I have completely lost respect for you. Before hand, I’ve always defended your writing style and thought you were a great person who just wanted to give people good advice. Now I regret even talking to you because you wanted to become the “Thunderkiss Tabloid” as soon as I left. As I read through “my” post, I can’t believe some of the things you are saying about me that simply are NOT true. Saying that I just wanted to have things “handed” to me is completely wrong. I told you that yes, one day I wanted to become champion because I likely have 2 years of e-fedding left and its one of my goals to win a title that counts. Do you honestly think I am going to come in a place like this and say “Belt, gimme now”?!? What I said to you is this: I didn’t think I was getting noticed enough thus it was frustrating and might stop me from achieving my goals. Who’s fault is that? Well that’s on me and as I told you – I would and will work harder. I also talked to you about my hopes for a match with Macho, and some of them were off the wall yes and I did take your advice and decided against them. But here’s what you don’t know:

I DID talk to Macho about a match. I TOLD Macho that what he saw in the chat was just an act and that I like him and have nothing but respect for him. Do I honestly think I am going to win against Macho? Hell no…. but I respect the man enough and love his character that I just want to say – “I got beat by Macho Man”.

So Durden you can take comments like these:

Eh, he couldn't accept the fact that he'd have to actually do something before he'd be world champion.
He didn't hate Flamingo. I think he was just jealous.
When I talked to him privately, it seemed that he wasn't willing to take his lumps to get to the top. His plan was basically to pull a Paris Hilton and make himself popular for all the wrong reasons


Print them up on your printer, go into the bathroom and cram them straight up your ass until it bleeds, Dr Phil.

I would seriously like to thank Latino for his “intervention” on this matter. Through him I saw my own faults and plan to improve on them. Also, I was really surprised that many actually did notice me, which makes me feel like a complete ass. I really figured that most people wouldn’t even notice I was gone nor care. I am totally sorry that I let those people down, including The Chef who I hope can forgive me just walking out on him like that. ACW is where I want to be. As I’ve said, I would rather lose here than go to the bush leagues – and I sincerely mean it.

I only became "Thunderkiss tabloid" because a few people were wondering where you went.

The fact that you apologized to RDK after the chat still doesn't take away from the fact that you had said those things to him. They were still out of line and completely uncalled for.

It doesn't matter if you had talked to RDK about the idea of a match because you were planning on following through with your idea anyway, with or without his approval of a feud.

I only said you Paris Hilton'd yourself because you told me explicitly that you'd do anything as long as it got people talking about Thunderkiss. I told you people wouldn't like the idea of you trying to coerce RDK into a feud, but you simply replied that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

As for my claims that you wanted to move ahead too quickly, what else was I supposed to think when you were constantly talking about how you didn't get enough credit and how Adrian Flamingo took all your thunder? If you wanted to proceed at a normal pace, accept the fact that not everyone can read every promo, and therefore will choose to ignore promos from newer people.

Frustration at other people's success = jealousy. And don't feed me any junk about how you were frustrated more at your own shortcomings than Flamingo's success because you mentioned Flamingo and only Flamingo time and time again. You took numerous shots at him both in promos and in chat conversations.

Ultimatum is appropriate when someone causes trouble on the magnitude that you do at the frequency you do. Last night alone you called out both Freeman and Stark.

[Thunderkiss]

I never apologized to Macho because there was nothing to apologize for. Do you think his feelings got hurt? If anything I provided him to be “Macho” again and the people there that day LOVED it and I liked being the “bad” guy. It was like watching a match where everyone wanted to see him verbally destroy me. That day I was “in character” though I don’t plan to do that much longer because it has provided me with nothing but trouble. Within a few moments after the exchange, I let him know my feelings.

Here you are telling me to accept that most people cannot read every promo when you about broke down and cried a couple of weeks ago because Bob “didn’t care” about the match you were writing?!?! Talk about being a hypocrite.

LOL! Oh lord. I cause so much “trouble” that you even had to use the word magnitude?! HOLY SHIT! I “called out” Freeman and Stark?! How did I call them out? It was nothing more than the typical banter that I usually have with those guys. Just another day in the office. If anybody is stirring shit up its you since you had to comment about me practically after every post on my departure thread, or shall I call it “Durden analyzes Thunderkiss”

[Latino]

Please remember guys that I think the point of this topic was to give one person's side of the story, not for any accusations. So just try to keep that part on the low or atleast take that amongst yourselves privately.

[chengling]

I didn't ask Bob to be enthralled in that match or even read that match, I just asked that he be more considerate of other people's feelings and not be so public about his apathy.

Being in character is no excuse for saying rude things. If Lashley speared someone in public, he couldn't use the excuse that he was "in character."

Any time TK, Any time *shows off belt*

[Thunderkiss]

I have something very funny to say Freeman, but I wont because Mikey here might once again confuse my playful kayfabe satire as being 'rude'.

Durden .... me saying Macho Man is a "has been" in character does not equal Bobby Lashley spearing somebody in public. You should be a used car salesman with your ability to hype up a situation.

Nice excuse...I call your bluff and pledge to not be offended...so say it? If you actually have anything to say...which I doubt.

[Thunderkiss]

Since you're the "savior" of ACW, you can do some saving right now and save yourself the embarrassment of stepping in the ring with me. And thanks for showing me my title, just don’t smudge it and get Dan’s stank off of it while you’re at it.

[chengling]

The problem with your kayfabe satire is that no one can tell when you're in character or not. It's too easy of a cop out to claim that you were just in character.

[Jason Freeman]

I AM the "Savior" of ACW, and Ill save the fans from the torture of having to watch you wrestle...by not accepting your challenge. Nobody deserves the pain that is a Thunderkiss match.

[The Senator]

Blame me if you want to blame anyone for TK mixing character and ooc stuff a bit. I encouraged it, not that he didn't run with the ball(and even so, I don't think he did much of anything that I saw which could be construed as being something to take offence to, outside of his horrible vicious comments about the Rabid Wolverine), but I did tell him that it'd be great to have him be a second Predator at one point. I do think that now that he's back, and we're all calmed down again, that we can let things go, and just slow down, and calm down.

In any case, I'm relieved to see you back, TK, and I apologise if anything I did might have led to this situation. I once again look forward to reading your manic segments, and engaging in friendly arguements with you in the chat about the merits of Chris Benoit, Hulk Hogan, and the VKM:)

[xs3]

Rather than say something that would cause a backlash, I'll just say it's great to have you back, TK.

[starkweather]

Oh, TK, the vulgar comment that you made was "Adrian is nothing but an Adrian Adonis knockoff and everyone is riding his dick."

And he's not an Adonis knockoff. He's a Larry Sweeney knockoff. Get it right.

[Thunderkiss]

Sweeny is a knock off of Adonis, but then Adonis is a knock off of Gorgeous George. And I didn't say "dick" I said "rod". I phrased it that way to protect all the young Thundermaniacs in attendence.
