Re: Jasmin St. Claire No-Shows Her Own Company's Event Last Night

3PW's event at the ECW Arena was tossed into a state of disarray due to a series of chain reactions that followed owner Jasmin St. Claire not appearing at the event, which led to the departure of Tod Gordon from the promotion and several wrestlers who were scheduled for the show to leave without wrestling.
When reached today via telephone, The Blue Meanie (who rebooked last night's event with Rockin' Rebel Chuck Williams, who holds the license 3PW uses in Pennsylvania) stated that St. Claire sent him a text message informing him yesterday afternoon that she would not be making it to the show due to a personal situation, so she had wired funds via Western Union to handle expenses for the show. The remainder of the expenses would then be covered from the live gate at the show.
Due to the late nature of the notice (around 4pm), Meanie claimed that he wasn't able to make it to the Western Union location in the area of the ECW Arena before they closed at 5pm, which left him without funds to handle expenses for the performers, the building, etc. He later learned of a location that closed at 7pm, and rushed over, only to miss the location shutting down by minutes.
In regard to the performers walking out, Meanie said that he tried to make the best of a "crappy last minute situation" because he didn't want the other wrestlers and the fans to get screwed over. Meanie said that he attempted to give the wrestlers as much as he was able to with the limited budget from the gate, and the promotion plans to "make good with the boys" in the future.
"It wasn't a case of anyone trying to screw over the boys. It was a f*cked up circumstance and everyone last night tried to do our best for the boys and the fans."
Meanie claimed that he picked up the money today via Western Union and was heading over the venue to take care of payment for the rent and the ring crew (which CZW provided).
Although there are no set dates for the promotion in the future, Meanie stated that 3PW isn't done as a promotion. "We'll regroup and make good."
Meanie declined to comment on the departure of Tod Gordon, citing that he hoped to be in touch with Gordon this week to discuss the situation.
