A Video Letter to Kyle Shane and PCW Managment

[Gerard Angelo]

(The following video was posted to Gerard Angelo's Twitter account on 1/3/19)

The video starts with a shot of the blue sky and the turquoise ocean meeting. White, fluffy, clouds float along lazily as the sun glitters off the salt water. The beautiful shot gets added to as the camera pans back, revealing the cabin of a private jet. The further the camera pans back we see Gerard Angelo sitting in one of the chairs, staring out the same window that started the video. He swirls a rocks glass of scotch around in his hand.

“I hope you all had a happy and healthy holiday. And of course a great New Year. Sorry I haven’t been seen much during the Holiday break,” The Hollywood Hero says as he turns to the camera. “I spent part of my time doing some charity work in the Third World.” Gerard takes a sip of his scotch. He is dressed in a flawless, black, Armani suit.

“I had a great time off. I helped a bunch of people in need. I finished filming my movie. I had some time to rest up the body. But most importantly, it allowed me a chance to reflect on the past year of my career. Specifically the last few months of the year.” He rubs the stubble of his chin. “Despite not being given the same opportunities as some of my peers, I won the Deadly Rumble. And if it hadn’t been for the conspiracy of PCW at large, I would’ve entered two thousand and nineteen as the World Champion.”

Gerard stares into the camera, almost accusingly.

“Now, I figured that Loki and the rest of the Pure Class Wrestling management would have some sort of resolution for what happened at Collision Course. It’s been nearly a month since the controversial ending to a World title match, and I haven’t gotten so much as a ‘Merry Christmas’ text, let alone an explanation for what happened from PCW. Yet there is no conspiracy.” He says with a laugh as he finished the rest of the pale yellow liquid in his glass. Gerard grabs the bottle of Glenfiddich next to him and pours himself another glass.

“If there was no big conspiracy to keep Kyle Shane as the World Champion, don’t you think a controversy involving the most prestigious title in the company would have been addressed before the company goes on holiday? It’s like dealing with the god damn Trump administration.” Gerard takes a swallow of the scotch from his glass. “Speaking of Kyle Shane, congrats on winning your vanity award. It would’ve actually meant something if, you know, you actually beat me at Collision Course. Though I’m not even sure you actually won that either.”

Gerry sets down his glass on the tray table next to him. He leans forward and clasps his hands together.

“Any other champion would’ve had their title stripped and declared vacant if that much nonsense happened at the end of a match that played a deciding factor in the outcome. The turnbuckle exploded and there were two separate referee decisions as it’s been well documented. But what does PCW do in another act of blatant favoritism? Not only is Kyle Shane still the World Champion, but they give him a fugazi ‘best wrestler’ award. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a company try so damn hard to keep one guy at the top of the mountain at the expense of everyone else.” He says this with a half-hearted laugh.

“Since the day I walked into this company, I’ve seen Kyle Shane get treated with kid gloves. The guy just gets treated differently. Though I shouldn’t be surprised management didn’t do anything about the Collision Course controversy. Kyle Shane lost custody of his son because of drug possession, and it was just swept under the rug with no ramifications.” The Hollywood Hero raises an eyebrow at the camera. “So here’s the deal, PCW. I want answers by the time you pinhead suits reconvene. I demand a rematch. A proper one. A fair one.”

The Man Without Peer glares.

“My New Year’s Resolution to finally bring about the change that this company so desperately needs. And it starts with taking the World’s Championship.”

end.

For some reason, Joey "The Handyman" Handy was reached for comment. It may havehad something to do with his proximity to the media room, where he was looking on like a nervous child hoping his parents didn't see his report card.

"Well, it may not be a comfort to Gerard, but I'm currently looking into the equipment malfunctions we've been plagued with around here.

"In the meantime, I think Gerard would be better suited to showing the world he is every bit as brave as the characters he portrays in his movies by not blaming tinfoil hat conspiracies or management.

"They are only human."

From @godofgame on Twitter, January 3, 10:50 pm: "Oh, here we go 🙄"

10:52 pm: "(01/?) Havent ref this match obliquely cause I 2 wasn't happy about the result. But if you want to cry favoritism the management has towards me, I really want you to join the rest of the 9/11 Truth Commission behind Justin Michaels and Tyler Scott who thinks that I've been extending my title run with the bosses help."

10:53 pm: "(02/?) But where is this favoritism people speak of? 🤔 because I've won awards?"

10:54 pm: "(03/) Need you to step back and think for a second about how absolutely fucking stupid that sounds. If you wanted a case for a rematch, I was willing to go any time, as I am against anyone."

10:57 pm: "(04/?) But this, this narrative just reeks of sour grapes from people I have consistently outclassed and it cheapens the entire dynamic. Like I have more cause to be outraged, you should almost be satisfied with what ya got."

10:58 pm: "(05/?) Do you realize @gerardangelo, that an entire confluence of events transpired just to give you an out? A freak accident, a rope snapping, me tripping on a rope, a second referee that saw a pin from a different angle"

10:59 pm: "(06/?) And yet the last thing that happened before it all broke down was me pinning your shoulders to the mat. Think about that. I have a bigger gripe."

11:01 pm: "(07/11) You had everything coalesce into your favor. But ya see the difference between you and me is that even with all those factors, all that bullshit... you couldn't straight up BEAT me. That's what it boils down to."

11:02 pm: "(08/11) And I know now I'm going to feed into your confidence by giving you this time on Twitter but I just can't help it. What do mealy mouthed fucks want from me. How can I bend over backwards to show you there was no bias that let me stand where I am."

11:03 pm: "(09/11) I got where I am because I'm good. And your whining about being underrated, overlooked, passed over while Kyle Shane gets to keep WHAT HE WORKED FOR, shows me I am better."

11:05 pm: "(10/11) Give me any opportunity, I'll prove it. Put me in the ring, I'll hit the mark. You? You're secretly happy you got away with half a win and half a claim to a title."

11:06 pm: "(11/11) Because if you were as good as you think you are, they wouldnt be disrespecting or overlooking you, you would have been where I am already. And that's all I want to say about that. /thread."

@godofgame I was waiting for you to respond. The ONLY reason you even got to pin my shoulders to the mat was cuz the god damn turnbuckle snapped, or are you too fucking self absorbed to remember FACTS about a match you were in?

@godofgame I don't need a damn out Kyle. The only reason you were even able to get my shoulders onto the mat was because you gimmicked the damn turnbuckle to explode. Hell, you cheated and you still couldn't beat me

@godofgame Hell if I were you I would be super fucking embarassed. Hell, you talked all this shit about me not being on your level, you got outclassed by me the whole match, and you had the whole company in your corner. and YOU STILL COULDN'T BEAT ME LMAO

@godofgame the only reason I'm not getting my proper opportunities is because you scared to death of me. Because you know I have your number. Because I'm the greatest threat to your status quo in this company. And that's not sour grapes, that's #FACTS

Oh and #JoeHandjob, keep your nose outta my business before I slap seven shades of shit outta you, you corporate suck up

[Kyle Shane]

From @godofgame on Twitter, 12:50 am: "Hold up, my eyes hurt. Your rebuttal was not only to turn my logic around and apply it to yourself like it was an original argument. Nuh uh, I couldn't beat YOU!"

12:51 am: "But I somehow... gimmicked the turnbuckle to break? That's what happened?"

12:52 am: "So I must also be using these magic powers to mind control the ghost of Luis Malave or whoever is in charge and make them keep me as World Champion too. Oh God... it all makes sense!"

12:53 am: "You're a fucking idiot. 😐"

12:54 am: "Your tenuous claim of leverage over me is waning. You're losing the thread with these conspiracies and incoherent accusations."

12:55 am: "Think your entire argument through. I was the one losing to you until a rope I gimmicked, while I hit one last move ON YOU, suddenly gave you an advantage. So how am I being given favoritism here?"

12:58 am: "While you're trying to work out the moment it went from me losing to me pulling my clout to save my own ass, ask yourself wouldn't this be easier if i just had said I'll get him next time!"

12:59 am: "Cuz buddy. Pal. Amigo. If you are gonna "Huh uh, I was beating you first! You cheated!" - your way through this, you're making it easier than it has any right to be."

[Gerard Angelo]

@godofgame Oh bud. I guess you more up your own ass then I thought, which is crazy tbh. The favoritism comes from you being given the advantage with the gimmicked turnbuckle and the crooked ref. I didn't think I needed to spell it out for you.

@godofgame I was expecting a typical Kyle Shane Ego Trip response but you trying to go the typical "You are stupid and so is your argument" is just hilarious.

@godofgame Like I said before. You couldn't beat me with the deck stacked in your favor. Which is why I still have a claim to the World title. Do you get it now, dumb dumb?

[Kyle Shane]

From @godofgame on Twitter, 05:12 am: "Is there an echo in here? I keep hearing the same thing I'm saying..."

05:13 am: "@gerardangelo I'm not saying this isn't fun, I speak the truth about how things really happened and you just come back along and claim the same things happened your way. Wait, no. This is boring and asinine."

05:16 am: "Your entire logic boils down to saying the same thing I just said, and when I pull the thread and make the entire sweater of your line of thinking fall apart, you double down."

05:18 am: "It's admirable... in a way. Props to you for sticking to convictions even if your entire ideology is built on the premise that I'm somehow both up on a pedestal that you deserve to be on and yet you're still the underdog."

05:19 am: "Sorry, you can't quite have it both ways there..."

05:20 am: "Either way, in the moments before you come back, delete my name from my last series of tweets and try to spin it as something original you thought of, let me review."

05:22 am: "There is NO DECK. STACKED. IN MY FAVOR. There was no turnbuckle I rigged to break. I didnt slip some ref a five to give me a count. You are full of shit. Your conspiracies are on the level of a third grader's."

05:26 am: "And 'I can't beat you' seems like a weird hill to die on since I literally hit the last move in that match but anyway."

05:27 am: "Especially considering I've not only stood over you with my hand raised before Collision Course. 🤔

05:29 am: "But if that's what you really think... that I absolutely can't beat you without this apparent magical "Help" why don't you just wait until we get into a one on one match you can't find an excuse in?"

[Gerard Angelo]

@godofgame Goddamn even you on Twitter with 280 characters is long winded. Let me make this as simple as possible, Ky.

@godofgame FIGHT ME.

@godofgame Fight me and shut my mouth, "Ace". That's all I want. Talk to your buddies in the front office. Call Loki on his personal phone. I'm sure you got a "Merry Christmas" text.

@godofgame I just want one more match. I don't even give a damn if it's for the World title at this point. I just want a fair shot to shut you the fuck up.
