VCW censors commentator: "Banger" fined $100
Controversial VCW commentator Ritch "The Banger" Howe was fined $100 today by Executive VP James Post. The fine comes after an incident involving comments made by "The Banger" concerning Post.
Howe's comments, which have not been released to the public, earned him a $100 fine and a stern warning from the VCW offices.
"Mr. Howe is not someone unknown to us" said Jim Post during a telephone interview today. "His, shall we say "controversy" will be kept to a minimum here. To coin a classic phraze "this little puppy is going to get housebroken."
This is hardly the first time the outspoken and unpredictable Howe has faced VCW sanctioning.
In the fall of 2000, Ritch was fined $500 and suspended for one year following an assault on a non-VCW referee. 3 months later, he was fined another $100 for derogatory remarks against then-president Lars Morris. His tumultuous relationship with VCW began in April 1999.
A chuckling "Banger" has a less drastic view of the situation.
"This is a text book example of Jim Post being Jim Post." said Howe today via Instant Message. "I'll pay the hundred bucks....which I know will end up in Post's pocket. Whatever."
"The Banger" is still slated to provide color commentary with J. Gordon "Gordy" Morella at the 9/29 event.
