'Here it is ... the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT .....' from June 17th, 2000 at 3:37 PM

First and foremost, Buenos Nachos RSPW.

Well, I've been hyping my RSPW-anniversary for quite some time now and like the mail man, I will deliver. So here goes ...

On the 17th of June of the year 2000, I, the man formerly known as DugganFan1, announce my retirement from RSPW active IMMEDIATELY.

{'I Will Remeber You' plays}

Yes, after over 3500 posts. I am leaving RSPW ... FOREVER !

Now you may be asking "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM ?? Why couldn't his brother JACK leave instead ?!?". I will do my best to explain to you why I did such a thing.

You can say it was because :
- As you have all noticed, I haven't been posting any LATE BREAKING, HOTTTT newz as I was back in November. I had my chance to eclipse the ALWAYS truthfull Sabu424 when he was gone, but I failed.
- I haven't been giving you any of my ORIGINAL Commentaries on pro-wrestling in a few weeks now.
- I didn't even tell you my VAULTED predictions for the Great American Bash.
- I haven't been my 1996 self. I have not lived up to the name 'DugganFan1', the premiere poster of my kind (i.e. SUPERIOR intelligence), in the past few months.
Or, you can say, in other words, I lost my smile.

It just hasn't been the same. In this 'ATITUDE' filled era of wrestling / sports entertainment, there isn't much to keep the good ol' TNOEoHJEJE happy. Sure, we get better matches on Nitro and BRILLIANT stories all thanks to Vince Russo (THE POWER THAT BE) AND 100% pure SHOCKS, but it is not the same. wCw still is WHERE THE BIG BOYS PLAY, but it just isn't the same I say. Everything is different now, and I don't like it BRAHS.

Everything has changed. RSPW, WWF, WCW, nWo, HoW, and yes, even good ol' DF1 changed on April 1st of 2000.

On this day 4 years ago, my life and, I know all of yours, were changed forever. And I felt it was fitting that I come around full-circle after 4 years of memories (despite the fact I have only spent a total of 2 years here altogether, but nevertheless ...).

I have many BRAHS, friends, enemies and even a brother on RSPW, but that is what makes RSPW so different from everybody else. I will miss the lemmings, sheep and mutants. I will NOT trade these four years for anything in the world. Well that's not true, I'd like to have Hacksaw's restraining order on me lifted, but that is another story.

I'd like to take this opportunity to leave a few notes to the people who made me the Number One Enthusiast of Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

- THE DOC : HE was/is the Higher Power and made me see the Light Side of the 2x4.

- Jim Neidhart : I think RSPW must thank him more than anybody else.

- Andy Atkinson : When I went MIA (nMIA) for a few days, Andy posted on my whereabouts. That always resounded in my memoree.

- BIG JOSH (not EVIL) : You made me remember something that I forgot to do. You were instrumental in many parts of the last few weeks of 1999 and you added something more to me. Of course you threw it all away when you betrayed me

- Funky M : Continue making those great RSPWECW cards. And you don't have to stop using me. Just make me the Comissioner like Shawn Michaels (the one who shows up once every 6 months rocks their world, and disappears for yet another 6 months, as the cycle repeats forever)

- OldSchool : You amde me realize something and you tried to steer me back on course, but I couldn't. But I knew what I had to do thanks to you.

- Danger3210 : Bring back your 'WHEN DANGER STRIKES' sig ... 4 LIFE !

- SHERIFF MANNY VARGAS : Wherever you are my buddy, you truly were a 'Hulk Friend'.

- JimDugganFan1/DF1HOOOOOO/etc.. : My equal or most of the times my superior. Without you my BRAH, who (nN) can I fight the evil forces of Vince McMahon and his SALTY language with ?? You, that's who (nN). We were partners in crime (like Patterson and Brisco) and we sure cleaned up RSPW, right brother ?

- Don Martin : Just like SID~!, you died and came back from the grave. Maybe one day you will tell us how you did it. But for now, keep on preachin' the ways of the WARRIOR, destrucity. You must get foked first and foremost.

- David E. Powell : DEP, you are THE reason to visit RSPW. Not biased towards the WWF or wCw (but I think that wCw is better than the McGagaSEF) and you admit stuff and say things that others won't. I salute you. Kudos.

- JACK EPSTEIN : Well I MUST thank my brother ! Afterall, if it wasn't for you, DF1 would NEVER have existed ! I remember you were one of my first enemies here in RSPW, and now we are like brothers ... wait ... we ARE brothers !! See you at the 4th of July party at mom's ! USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- BUZZKILL : Don't hurt Brad too hard. How will he climb walls like Arachnaman if you crippled him ?

- The Chosen 1 : When you return, keep being wCw's #1 Enthusiast.

- Satyr : Who (nN) else but you can put up an audio clip of WARRIOR University AND Hacksaw's USA music video ? Keep up the good work and I will continue to visit your site well-past my days in RSPW.

- Trevor Lowe : You are so splendid that I not only do I hope you become a WWF and/or wCw Champion, but I KNOW it ! And you can bet that when you do, the TNOEoHJDJE will be here congratulating you.

- YAPAPI CHEIF : I AM NOT YOU !!

- Hulka R Maniac : If there has ever been an heir apparent, it has been you. I know RSPW is safe with my main Hulkamaniac BRAH on helm. Nobody else will carry on the pro-wCw and pro-HULK flag and maybe the pro-Hacksaw flags as high as this man will.

- James Fabiano : IMO, the most underrated man in RSPW. Give this guy a chance. He's a FOUR (or maybe FIVE) YEAR POSTER fer Hulk's sake !! I say, I say, there's a little James in everyone of you.

There are SO many others, but I can't name them all here. I apologize if I forgot somebody.

As for the future of my site. I do not know. I might update it every now and then, but I do not know as of right now.

One more note of interest, I am NOT leaving the internet or anything of that sort, but if you ever need to e-mail chat with the D-U-Dubba G-A-N F-A-N O-N-E, then give me a HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOlla at DugganFan01@hotmail.com if ya hear me.

If you miss me, then go to my site and check out 'Classic DF1'. From 1996 all the way to 2000, there is my collection of my greatest acomplishments.

There is also one more thing that I believe that helped me reach this decision. I have been inspired by the new wCw Power Plant website, and I have decided to join the ranks of Prince Iaukea, Chuck Palumbo, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea, Tank Abbott, The Artist and EVIL basketball player Mike Jindrak as a wrestler who (nN) plans to join the ELITE of wCw. So starting on monday (before Nitro of course), I will undergo serioy training in attempt to get one of those famous 3-day tryouts at the Power Plant (the HA-VAHD of profesionnal wrestling). Wish me luck BRAHS. Maybe I will wrestle T-LOWE one day ... And maybe THEN I can accomplish the ULLLLLLTIMATE goal that I have been trying to accomplish since 1996; introducint the Taped Fist competition at the Olympics. That is my Destiny.

Maybe Stu Hart will see me and take me into the Dungeon and when he isn't lookin', I can steal away poor Helen Hart away from him (what a dead SEXAY lady). And when my wCw career is over, I can go to the WWF and I can do the same with Linda.

Also, I would like to teach the kids in my community a new language; Ahmedish. Imagine all the people in Glens Falls NY speaking like such "lkjwer jwakler jvkl resapr pewrc s erlkj jslejr jb. wlrk bosdfu gwoi ahor !! jalwkrj wlwjrlbmla zxbn zljf.,m doeur gslj lsdaw sdjf !! jer3djkb jrle. jrl klrjaw? rwakjer !" ? What a joyous place it shall be !

All that I have mentioned will take time and effort. And RSPW just takes it all away from me. All of that explains my decision to leave you all.

In conclusion, let me just say that I am going for good. Just like Rowdy Roddy Piper after WrestleMania III, you will NEVER see me again. So long all, and remember to ...

ALWAYS BELIEVE,
The Number One Enthusiast of Hacksaw Jim Duggan JIM EPSTEIN
