"Real Action has done extremely well for themselves and they had a very talented roster at one point. I know that politics had a role in that disbanding eventually, and that’s what separates them from us. I met some of the "elite" performers there face to face and they’re not very pleasant to talk to. I think that eventually the egos in that promotion will be the destruction of it.......As far as their name goes, I think it’s rather pathetic that they decided to call their wrestling company RAW, just because it bares a close resemblance to the flagship television program of the WWF. Their booking is fair to say the least. The guys who are headlining the main events aren’t in a position to be doing so, and anybody who knows anything about in-ring scenarios knows that it should be done a lot differently. Shameless booking seems to be their route, but that’s their choice. Again, that’s all attributed to ego.

Cutting Edge Wrestling is a thriving promotion and the guys down there in Newfoundland have come a long way. I understand there’s some really good talent there right now and given the opportunity those guys will succeed. Gordon (the promoter) is a really great guy and he loves the business to no end. He has the desire to take CEW as far it can possibly go. The wrestlers that work there are coming along and they’re all doing really well. I don’t like all the hardcore angles but that’s their nature."

This is Kowboy's response to these comments:

When the promoter of another promotion that cant draw flies starts bad mouthing another it doesn't really mean that much. Backyard wrestlers (marks) always seem to have their version of what is good and what is bad in their opinion. Then there is the opinion of real workers, real promoters and agents from the WWF. All whom have stated they could not get over the talent and the size of our talent in Real Action Wrestling. "Psychology in the business is a long lost art.", Jim Ross recently stated, and I have to agree. Fortunately we at RAW have made this a priority. Mr. Chittick wouldn't understand what I'm talking about because his roster of mainly untrained backyarders are never taught this art. With a roster that has been handed down knowledge from some of the best in the business such as Leo Burke, Hubert Gallant, and Sean Morley, RAW is well schooled in this art. Not just shown a few moves from other workers such as Jerry Martell and Leroy Brookes.

An example of Mr.Chitticks knowledge is his compliments to CEW. He praised their workers and their direction. Bad Boy Batty Bat (former CEW CHAMPION) told me quite openly that it is just a glorified backyard promotion of untrained workers. His stay in RAW was very short because he openly admitted he thought he knew the business until he got around veteran workers and would have to get properly trained before he would ask to come back. Damien Dredd another of MSW's so called stars worked one show with RAW and needless to say his last. He openly admitted he wasn't used to such a high caliber of wrestling. This guy is a main eventer at MSW. Cliff MacDonald, the big MSW star said he wasn't prepared to wrestle in RAW, yet was prepared enough for MSW. Once again I will state the obvious about MSW why would people pay to see untrained 120lbs wrestlers when they can go to any play ground and see the same thing for free. As far as our elite performers being not pleasant, its a work ! I guess we have fooled all the marks! And one more thing, anybody who thinks Bobby Rude, Gary Williams, etc aren't in a position to be in a main event is retarded.
