For four years I worked tirelessly to promote the company and it’s wrestlers, online and elsewhere, to the detriment of my physical and mental health.
When I quit the company, for a variety of reasons, in 2005 it was my hope that I could, on occasion, continue to attend their shows, shaking hands with a few old friends while remembering old times. The sad thing is that I learned within a few days of my resignation that this would not be the case.
Since 2005 I’ve had to put up with a ton of abuse from some of those connected with WAW, and in particular the Knight family. At one point I would hear stories on an almost weekly basis of my supposed attempts to bring down WAW, Ricky Knight and his family.
This isn’t the only thing I’ve had to put up with though. As well as these frankly ludicrous lies I’ve had to put up with threats of violence and attempts at intimidation, including a member of the Knight family hurling abuse at me while I walked through a local shopping centre. All of this despite the fact that, until now, I have not written about all of the things the Knight family and their associates have done to me over the past few years in my Two Sheds Review column.
But now, just a few weeks before my 40th birthday I’ve decided to take the following action.
As of now the majority of WAW-related material has been deleted from my website. These include my live show reviews, DVD reviews, interviews as well as various articles written to promote their live shows.
I have also deleted reviews from the defunct DAM Promotions, the company owned by Mike and Dave Waters, and from Herts & Essex Wrestling, the promotion owned by Sam Knee. I have left reviews where WAW talent appears on other shows though out of respect to those promoters.
I have done this for one simple reason, and it’s something I should have done years ago. I don’t see why I should continue to give exposure to companies and people who continue to treat me in such a disrespectful manner. After nearly six years it’s getting beyond a joke, and as I said in a recent Facebook update it’s like having a girlfriend you dumped years ago unable to accept the fact that they were dumped.
So in future I will no longer review any WAW-related material, and if I’m asked to review a DVD or show where a member of the Knight family performs I will not review that particular match.
In closing I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and The Two Sheds Review since it’s online debut in the summer of 2000, and I hope that you will continue to enjoy reading my reviews. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
Bloody hell mate, feeling for you. Just found this site and am shocked at what's happened. I've had similar problems on the Dance Scene - I don't even write reviews any more for certain people but they just keep wanting to attack, attack, attack. It's a crying shame.
ReplyDeleteAn example of some of the lies I've had to put up with, recent comments from Julia Hamer's (aka Saraya Knight) Facebook account. One of them anyway.

Ok, why do you keep posting stuff if you want to be left alone, I don't understand it, you are not popular enough for people to take any notice of you, you sound like a whining imp with a.d.h.d, make up your stories and blather on about being hard done by, by all means, just don't involve us............now fuck off!
Sam Knee Dare i ask? You ok?
Julia Hamer I'm fine just sick of certain little wank stains that we have no way or want to contact posting shit about us every now and again out of the blue, it's as if he wants the negative attention. He must sit there after tossing himself off wondering how he can annoy the world, he shpould get laid really!!
Ricky Knight scrawny little prick needs to get a life, his next shag will be his first.
Luke Tench Jennings i did email zak and give him the heads about it, i saw it this mothing and was livid
Ricky Knight the guy is a 22 carat div luke
Luke Tench Jennings u know it mate, i expressed my fury on ukff, no doubt he will read it and get on his high horse
Julia Hamer tbh, we don't talk to him, contact him, I saw him in the mall in August and walked straight passed him, no conversation at all. I have tried so many times to apologise for some stuff I actually did do or say and all I get is a tirade of abuse. He e-mails the kids and abuses them verbally, Saraya not so long back got one because he was reviewing a match she was in. I give up I wish he would just leave well alone and get on with his life....I'm bored now!
Luke Tench Jennings so u didnt throw abuse his way, lol. Why shud u have to apologise he is the one who thought he was better then u guys and bigger then waw and the one who has slated u guys and made u look silly
Julia Hamer Well we were in the gutter, drawing 4 people a show with no talent or wrestlers before he came onboard..................................not!
Julia Hamer I apologised to him because his brother helped me out once when I was stuck, but he often misread signals!
Ricky Knight bottom line he met us at a waw show which drew 2000 before we ever new him, god how did we do it, he made money on a book about WAW i never claimed copyright, maybe if he sits down and thinks, he might realise he is the one with the problem.
