Gestrige TNA Houseshow in Bloomfield, Connecticut wurde gecancelt

[Nefercheperur]

Am gestrigen Samstag sollte in der Bloomfield Tennis Academy in Bloomfield, Connecticut eine TNA Houseshow stattfinden, die jedoch nur wenige Stunden vor dem Event gecancelt werden musste. Etliche Polizeibeamte informierten TNA vor dem Event das die Show nicht stattfinden kann, weil es dafuer keine “Erlaubniss“ gab. Zuvor war bereits der Event aus East Hartford verlegt worden, weil die Halle dort nicht geeignet gewessen sei fuer so einen Event.

Nur wenige Stunden nach der Absage wurden Geruechte laut das WWE dafuer gesorgt haben koennte das der TNA Event gecancelt werden musste. WWE hat bereits in einem Statement die Behauptung zurueckgewiessen. WWE Vice President Gary Davis meinte:”WWE had anything to do with the cancellation of the TNA event in Bloomfield. I don't know why the event was cancelled, but, whatever the reason, it had nothing to do with us.”

Der Vorwurf das WWE vielleicht damit etwas zutun haben koennte, ist jedoch nicht allzuweit hergehollt, schliesslich ist das eine gaengige Taktik aus frueheren Tagen. Eine erfolgreiche Taktik von Vince McMahon oder der NWA frueher war, das sie ihre Konkurrenz aus Hallen verbannte, und wenn es nur aus Prestigegruenden war oder um die Konkurrenz bloss zustellen. Es gibt in Nord Amerika nur sehr wenige Hallen die einer 100% Inspektion standhalten wuerden. Ein Hinweiss eines “besorgten“ Buergers eines verstosses denn man leicht findet, und eine Untersuchung reichen oft schon aus um einen Event platzen zulassen.

Captain Jeffrey L Blatter von der Polizei in Bloomfield, Connecticut hat nun folgendes Statement bekannt gegeben zu den Vorfaellen am Freitag:

“TNA’s attempt to manipulate their fan base into believing the Bloomfield Police Department, or any other Town Official, was responsible for the canceling of their Saturday event is misleading and disingenuous.

TNA failed to notify the Town of their intent to hold an event, nor did they apply for the proper permits. Had TNA made the proper notifications, in a timely manner, the Town would have had the opportunity to address the public safety concerns that were identified, and the wrestling fans would have had the opportunity to enjoy the event in a safe environment. The code violations that were identified were not obscure administrative matters, but real concerns for public safety, and were in fact explained to TNA representatives.

Allowing an event to go forward in violation of known public safety hazards is a breach of our responsibility to the citizens of Bloomfield and those who visit our community. The Rhode Island Night Club tragedy is a sobering example of what can occur if this responsibility is not met."

……………….

After I sent my statement to you I had the opportunity to further speak with a Supervisor who was on scene. Your inquiry into Vince McMahon appears to be on target since someone at the incident alleged our actions were predicated on the behest of Vince McMahon, who, according to the individual, "owns Connecticut".

To dispel a completely false notion, Vince McMahon had no involvement in this matter, and my Supervisor had to ask who Vince McMahon was. We became aware of the event only hours before it was to be held, when the East Hartford Police Department brought our attention to the TNA Web Site, which made reference to Bloomfield.

I believe it is also appropriate to note that the Supervisor on scene was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and cooperation he received from the wrestlers and most of the event staff. He particularly noted the wrestlers desire to stay and greet their fans even after the event had to be cancelled. Had they not done so, we could have been faced with a situation that may have spiraled out of control.”
