So, I'm going to make this thread right now, right here, to finally just lay it all out on the table. For the better part of the last nine months we were able to just sort of keep this out of the public eye on Gaia, and sort of let the community just exist without issue. I think it's finally time I pull back the curtain fully and explain everything and why it's time it finally stops.

In April of 2014, I lent Freakshow (Scott Norton Fanclub/Vic Venom) $34,000CAD.

dont be stupid
That's where this all started. He told me he needed some money to help launch a firm in Calgary, and he was looking for some help in gathering the start-up capital to get going with the endeavor. He needed around $130,000CAD and I decided to contribute my savings to help him reach his goals as I thought of him to be a friend and a valued member of a community that, while stressful for me at the time, was one I loved being a part of so much. Freak had intially promised me a return of investment, plus 24% bi-yearly intrest until fully paid off. I was also going to be allowed to serve as a member of the firm's board of trustees and would have been sent some branded merchandise when printed. Obviously, Freakshow and I would go on to be friendly for another two or so years afterward, with small payments being made to me quarterly until suddenly they stopped around June 2016. This was, of course, after our Wrestlemania story in WWF:G had concluded and we'd both taken a step back from the community to come down from what was, inevitably, a period of time that really took it's toll on us both creatively.

This isn't at all the only part of the bad blood between he and I. While he still owes me several years of interest as well as $19,543CAD, he also betratyed me in a way that I really never thought someone ever would.

In 2022, Freakshow adopted a basset hound from Georgia that I told him I would be adopting for my family to enjoy when we moved out to our new home.

seriously
Her name was going to be Peaches, because she was from Georgia. She was a black and white, 1 month old basset with the cutest floppy ears and such adorable little legs. I loved her so much, from the moment I saw her on Southern Barks Instagram page. I decided to speak with Freakshow about it, because while he has owed me this money, we remained cordial and I actually wanted to stay his friend. Despite the fact that in 2021 (and I know now a lot of you know this unless you were involved) I had my 2019 tax information leaked by Brantley Summers to the Soyjack website, I still trusted Freakshow to share this with him while FULL WELL knowing he was the one that sent my info to Summers. So, I'm going to get this dog, going to show it all the love and live it out MY dream in my new home (which I moved into last May, thanks for asking), and they tell me it's been adopted by a "nice chinese boy from Texas". Huh, crazy, have you ever heard of a nice chinese boy from Texas? Well, I had. That's when I put two and two together and realized it was Freak who went behind my back to get this dog so I wouldn't be able to. He then proceeded to give it away as a Christmas present to a coworker.
parody
This goes beyond g-fedding, guys. I know we've had a lot of issues here before, a lot of drama in our community from me, to kal, to angel, to salem, to chrono, to cartwright, to currin, to matt, to king, to jed, to snypa, to drako, to summers, to major, to dion, to tim, to rex, to nuke, to pantera, to killa-mo, to marts, to mardy, to rich harden, to ryan the lion, to downupside, to rosario...but at least the VAST majority of that has all been in character, or at least related to character s**t. He said she said, photoshops, backstage politics...only two or three times prior has any of this truly leaked into real life. This is one of those times.

Freakshow is just as his character is protrayed: a con-man, a scary individual, a monster. He wants to snuff me out in g-fed, and honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if he wanted to take me out in real life too. I spend everyday now having to look over my shoulder and make sure this guy hasn't sent some sort of goon after me.

I dont know if there is any coming back from posting all of this and making it known, but if I'm gonna have to blow the whistle. I want to do it now before it's too late and someone else gets hurt. That's all.

I'm going to keep this short on advice from my legal council. What I can say is that me and Jake, or Hiro, go back several years, but any claims of any business arrangements is false. Moreover, I want to clarify something about my identity. A lot has been said about who is the man behind Freakshow and that's something I've kept private deliberately. While many of you know me for my portrayal of a street wise, tough talking New York Jew, others such as Jake Frato have worked tirelessly to peal back the layers of my extremely successful and respected non-political online persona to try to expose the real me. Let's get one thing straight. I am not a Texan. I am not Chinese. I am and always have been a proud Serbian man raised in the Chicago suburbs.

But one thing you have to respect about Jake here is that he would never do something to another person that he wouldn't have done to himself. Allow me to explain: About a year ago Jake approached me with a plan to revitalize the community here. It involved blurring the lines between real and fake, manufacturing conflict not just in the fictional matches & storylines we all enjoy in the g-fed universe but in the very hall of power we call the social guild. Now some of you may laugh reading that, I'm sure some of us remember how heated it got back then.

Like my motherland, g-feds could be a cold place back in the day. Unfortunately, during that time Jake, or Hiro, bore the brunt of some of the nastier moments in our history. I think that he was working through some of the trauma that he dealt with when he got here by recreating the experience he felt being bullied on here as a kid. So he got me involved in the last couple of threads you see here and gave me direction on where to go with it. Kind of like a performance art thing. It's not my proudest work, but I felt like I owed it to him. Why? Allow me to explain.

When Jake had first started I was a veteran in the community or so people thought. In reality, we were more close in tenure than was apparent because as some of you may know my original account which I was posting in 2006-2007 in guilds such as OECW & AWF was actually the mule account of another member of the community who was friends with someone I knew in real life. Once he saw the writing on the wall for Reals I guess he felt like he didn't need the account and gave it over to me so I could inherit some of his push. Shortly after So to reiterate for legal record, there are actually several degrees of separation between myself and the original person who created Freakshow. (Sidebar for those who are really students of my work you this is why you really start to see the Freakshow character evolve from 2007-2008, it's because it was literally run by two different people.)

I benefited from this a lot obviously, but one of the casualties of this is my friendship with Jake. Because we started at the same time I viewed him basically as a contemporary, but I think in his head he put me on a pedestal like he did with all the vets. That was always his thing, bringing back older names for one last shot. I helped him out at a time when quite frankly no one liked him but I think part of him always resented that I didn't do more. I helped him as a friend but not as the elder statesman of the community you all now recognize me as without exception. And in a way I failed Jake Frato when I left the community 2012. So after that I tried to help him out when I could. Joined his indie guilds for one shots, eventually got roped into another WWFG title run. Lots of highlights working with each other for sure. But in the back of my head I always knew that in the back of his head there was resentment. Resentment for how easy I had it compared to him. So we did the meta-ironic angle exploring his neurosis and instead of seeing the social commentary of how poorly he was treated or whatever some of you were, for lack of a better term, "worked" into thinking there was a real life conflict between us and overwhelmingly took my side despite the "angle" being set up for me to be the bad guy. And so just like the 2011 WWFG Dance Off his big idea was received far differently than he expected. Probably not the trauma you were hoping to rehash huh Jake?

So he doubles down. Asks me to doxx him and post pictures he took of the outside of his house and pretend like I had shooters on him or dumb s**t like that. I tell him he's out of his mind and think that's the end of it. Fast forward a year later, WWFG is running out of gas, again, and he's doing this rudderless losing streak gimmick yeah I think we can see where this is going. Luckily BS tipped me off ahead of time so I saw this one coming a mile away. But so so we're clear going forward:

1. Any information that leaks about Jake is NOT my responsibility.

2. Any photos that you see claiming to be taken by me have NOTHING to do with me.

3. Any thing that happens to Jake either real or alleged has ZERO PERCENT involvement with me or anyone associated with this account.

Wow. Okay.

I think this is starting to get out of hand.

I'm going to be locking this.
