Well, I personally knew that one day this would come. Pope haven't dealt with any lame promoters, But...There's always those that like to pass the heat:
April 18 & 19th Pope was scheduled to wrestle for Premier Wrestling Showcase in North Carolina. The week of the event, the promoter calls and tells me that the event is canceled because of his mother's operation. Pope wished them well and prayed for a speedy recovery. We then reschedule for May 8 and 9th. On May 5, Pope's Booker contacted Ty (promoter) to ensure the event was still on to sort out travel. The promoter responds with a flight itinerary, without asking where Elijah would be flying out of. After informing the promoter of his mistake, he said, "Im sorry, I assumed you'd be flying out of Louisville Ky like last time." He told me he'd get with his "Travel Agency" and they'd correct it. He then told me, after several calls I made to him, that I had to change it because it's in my name. He told me he'd get back with me. After several hours later, no call back, and several placed calls to the PWS Promoter with no answer, Pope called from a different number and finally got an answer. Pope asked Ty was everything set and a go for tomorrow's show? I informed him do to my connection being in ATL that I could just fly directly out of ATL's airport. Ty then informed me that he was sorry he didn't contact me, but one of his financial backers backed out on him. He then informed me that they booked Richie Steamboat in my place as they thought I wasn't coming. WHAT!!! And you didn't even have the DECENCY to INFORM ME OF IT!!!???? AND your still advertising me?
Pope had members of the congregation coming from all over as you all always do, so for that, I apologize and know that ELIJAH BURKE didn't cancel out on these events!
Just another example of where we are as a society today! Pathetic and heartless! You should have seen what happened with me with the receptionist at my new lawyer's office on Thursday. I was going there for the 1st time to sign papers and I missed the turn to their office entrance. Well, I thought I could just turn around at the next street and come back. It turned out to be a street with a big center median all the way down with no way to turn around leading only on to the interstate highway. I panicked because I can not drive on interstate highways because of my dystonia condition. I can only drive on the back roads. I pulled over in a construction area because I knew this was literally a matter of life and death for me! I could not go on to the interstate highway and take a chance.
I called my lawyer's office on my cell phone, and the receptionist at the office refused to help me for at least 20 minutes as I begged for help, and she would not tell my new lawyer, Fernando, what was going on. I was beside myself and started to have an anxiety attack! Finally, she got a guy to come where I was and drive me back after I was so messed up from the hell I went through! This is what I asked her to do when I first called her on my cell phone! If I would have listened to her and got on to that interstate I probably would have been in a bad accident, and who knows what other innocent people would have been involved. After seeing where this guy had to drive to get back to their office, there is no way I could have done this under my condition. God does answer prayers! The Devil wanted me dead, but God gave me better judgement and I fought with that receptionist until the right situation was complete. Thank you God! It should have never come to this if this cold hearted snake receptionist would have just told my lawyer who knew about why I coming, and just knocked on his door and told him. This again shows where our society is today in this lost and dying world!
I hope everyone reads my comments on Pope's Miss California and Gay Marriage Blog! Those were my very 1st ever comments on Pope's enlightening blogs!

OK. This is some booty! Petey Williams vs Elijah Burke and they screw it up like that?!? How stoopid... I can't even comprehend.
That is messed up. I can't believe that they would replace you without telling you. *shakes head*
