This shall be my last post pertaining to Gladiator, I’ve posted several times (Gladiator) and made comments, questioned, defended and agreed to certain term regarding the Gladiator events. Some times were blinded by all the hype and with the integrity of our decisions; we hope were doing the right thing.
My position with the Gladiator was a horary board member, advisor, referee and representative for California and Nevada.
The intentions of thier objective is a huge demand, that is impossible to achieve with out a logistical approach and I believe everybody is riding a wave hoping these event will surface. It’s was kind of disturbing how our fellow armwrestlers were treated at last weeks commercial shoot and it displayed an unconditional impact.. With this and a “few” other things in mind, I shall remove my name from being associated with the Gladiator name.
If anybody wishing to chat about my decision I can be emailed billco1@pacbell.net
I wish all the best of luck (armwrestlers, promoters, board members and the Gladiator Championships).

Harry Z.
Do you know what happened Saturday at the "meeting"? I understand that the place they are holding the event is very small. What are your thoughts?

Rack's was a rather small place with seating for maybe 50. They have a small kitchen, limited parking and not the best neighborhood. The filming started 3 hours late
It was not what I expected to say the least. As of now I am withdrawing myself from any connection with the Gladiator Tournaments. They will have to find someone else to be the Regional Director and Head of Referees. There is to much confusion with the way every thing is being done. If anyone would like to call me or send me an e-mail before they make the trip to NY I will be glad to talk to you. I wish Jay and Larry all the best of luck and hope the events does well. I just will not be a part of the Gladiator events from now on.

You are right there Cobra. Reminds me of a Mark Harmon event that ended up paying $50.00.

If I may senor Brzenk it was as this"Uh UH boys...men....athletes" MG has gone on to the after life so I will not speak ill of the dead, but that was the first and last time I will be paid a few grand $$$ in T-SHIRT's. |

I AM SAD AND GLAD AT THE SAME TIME AS TO HOW THIS EVENT TURNED OUT ON JAN 8, FOR THE FILMING OF THE GLADIATOR COMMERCIAL !!!
HARRY ZAVERDAS CALLED ME UP AND ASKED ME TO SHOW UP WHERE THEY ALL GATHERED UP AT A POOL HALL IN ASTORIA....
I TOLD HIM THAT I WON'T COME, BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO ADD ANY FRICTION IN THIS PLACE, BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS HEATED ARGUMENTS THAT I HAD WITH NICK THE MORON !!!!....
HARRY TOLD ME THAT MIKE SELEARIS, MARCIO BARBOZA, CHRIS MYERS, SEVAN AND OTHER REPUTABLE ARMWRESTLING NAMES WERE THERE ALREADY....
HARRY ALSO TOLD ME THAT AS SOON AS HE ENTERED THE ROOM, THE MORON OF A PROMOTER NICK CARA, WENT TO HIM AND ASKED HIM TO LEAVE, THAT HE DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE POSTS ON THE NORTHEAST BOARD, AND THAT HE DID NOT NEED THE ARMWRESTLERS THERE THAT WERE NEGATIVE AND A DETRIMENT TO HIS EVENT, AND THAT HIS PROMOTION WILL GO ON WITHOUT THE ARMWRESLTERS...
HARRY ASKED ME TO SHOW UP, AND SO I DID....
NICK AND I DID NOT HAVE ANY CONVERSATIONS OR CONFRUNTATIONS....
THE SHOW WAS PRETTY GOOD WITH A LIVE BAND AND A TRIO OF GIRLS THAT DID A DANCING THING....
I WAS HELPFUL IN GETTING BESSIE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO GET TO THIS PLACE...
I HOPE THAT NICK HAS OPENED HIS EYES AND REALIZE, THAT IF THE ARMWRESTLERS DON'T SUPPORT HIM AND DON'T BELIEVE HIM HE WON'T HAVE A SHOW.....
NICK WAS BOASTING THAT HIS SHOW WILL GO ON, REGARDLESS OF WHO SHOWS UP.....
IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE ARMWRESTLERS, MAYBE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AT MOST 5 OTHER PEOPLE, THAT'S INCLUDING HIM AND HIS WIFE !!!
I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW, AND PLEASE DON'T HOLD THIS AGAINST NICK, BUT HE IS TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT HIS ATTITUDE AND THE WAY HE COMMUNICATES TO OTHERS IS WHAT MAKES HIM UNSUCCESSFUL !!!
I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THAT BILL COLLINS AND BILL COX DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS MORON OF A PROMOTER, NICK CARA.....
I FEEL THAT BOTH OF THESE GENTLEMENS HAVE REALIZED THAT NICK IS A LOST CAUSE, JUST AS I HAVE, BUT MY INITIAL INTENT WAS TO BRING HIM INTO THE ARMWRESTLING COMMUNITY IN A POSITIVE LIGHT....
I GUESS HE MANAGED TO FU*K UP HIS REPUTATION ALL BY HIMSELF....
WELL NICK, YOU HAVE NOBODY TO THANK BUT YOURSELF....
TO KAREN AND DENISE, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THE FILMING OF THE GLADIATOR COMMERCIAL....
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY HARRY WOULD NOT GIVE YOU ALL OF THESE DETAILS, MAYBE NICK INTIMIDATED HIM THAT MUCH, THAT HARRY HAS LOST HIS WORDS...
