WrestleCrap Has Been Sold
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 1, 2005
ATLANTA, GA - Vincent K. Russo Ministries LLC (Altanta, GA) announced today that it has purchased all assets of WrestleCrap.com (Indianapolis, IN).
The WrestleCrap name and all prior web publications were included in the purchase and will be used in the any required future endeavors. The new entity will be known as Vince Russo Presents WrestleCrap.
Since its launch on April 1, 2000, WrestleCrap.com has been as the internet's leading source for documenting the many absurdities in the world of sports entertainment. The success of the website also spawned two books, WrestleCrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling, and WrestleCrap and Figure Four Weekly Present: The Death of WCW.
Vince Russo, former writer for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Total Nonstop Action (TNA) said, "The acquisition of WrestleCrap.com just made sense, as I have my own book coming out this fall, also from ECW Press. With the closing of VinceRussoForgiven.com, I needed a homebase to help publicize my work to all the internet wrestling fans, and this was a perfect fit. Plus the added name recognition of having 'WrestleCrap' in the title will surely help sell at least a dozen more copies of my book."
WrestleCrap creator Randy Baer (known as “RD Reynolds”) welcomed Russo aboard. “Over the past five years, I have worked hard to establish WrestleCrap as the premier sports entertainment website for fans looking for a few laughs. When Mr. Russo approached me with his desire to purchase the site, I was skeptical to say the least. However, after spending a few days with the man, I see that he has changed. I can see him becoming a Reverend Slick for this generation, and am happy that he has chosen WrestleCrap to be his pulpit.”
Reynolds and co-hort Madison Carter will resign all duties contained therein effective immediately, thus giving Mr. Russo full control over the site and any future publications. "I wish Mr. Russo the best of luck," proclaimed Carter, creator of the popular Weird World of Wrestling. "I have no doubt he'll be just as successful in this endeavor as he was in running WCW."
The only original WrestleCrap employee to be kept on will be Blade Braxton, who will be working for the new company under a five-year, no-cut deal. "I knew nothing about this," said Braxton when contacted. "I was never asked if I wanted to be involved, but I guess I don't have a choice. Now I know what Hercules must have felt like when Bobby Heenan sold him to be Ted DiBiase's slave."
