This came up in the twitter thread but I think he deserves to be posted about in here:
GREEN LANTERN FAN
From http://taimapedia.org/index.php?title=Green_Lantern_Fan

The biggest loser in the history of wrestling fans. His highlights include:
- Showing up at Chris Candido's wake to hang out and talk to/creep at wrestlers. At a wake.
- Swearing he would never support another RF Video release again, then immediately attending a PWS show eating Chinese food and being heckled by Eddie Kingston.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDYMiJ_BqIE
- Timing every match like a jackass.
- Making a scene at ROH Final Battle 2009 after there was a ref bump in a match, loudly and awkwardly walking out to protest this decades-old wrestling trope.
- Buying every front row seat for NYC ROH shows and then scalping them on the street the day of the show, in full view of the wrestlers and ROH management.
- Booing a wrestler working a retirement match that was a tribute to his dead friend.

- Getting kicked out of a JAPW show for throwing a water bottle at the wrestlers.
http://board.deathvalleydriver.com/index.php?showtopic=22217&hl=
- Proposing to and getting rejected by his girlfriend live on Monday Night Raw in 1993.

He personifies the "Get myself over and act like I'm part of the show" fan that people hate about indies. There's the thing about Candido's wake. There's disrupting the scene of the Wrestler he was in where the crowd of extras was asked to stay quiet during a speech and he yelled something. He has bought out entire front row sections for big shows to try to resell to people later and making them act extra-grateful to him. He got pissed when they capped how many presale tickets you could buy one time because he thought he deserved to decide who sits by him (and was banned when he demanded to speak to Gabe about this).


Here's his "version" of events from CZWFANS


Green Lantern Fan posted:

I don't want to ramble and rave but I just wanted to get a few things off my chest and I know from talking to the ROH guys personally that they are on this message board all the time. I know if I post this on the ROH board , gabe will come along and delete the post in nanoseconds since he is always home on message boards. I did try talking to RoH representatives this weekend and on email but I was shunned everytime.


Everyone knows who I am. Some people do not like me. Some people do. If you know me you know I'm really not a bad guy , I'm just a guy with a huge heart for wrestling and maybe I'm a tad obessisve. I've met many friends through wrestling and I've met many people in wrestling that I'm proud to call friends. Teddy Hart is one of them and after seeing how ROH treated him then maybe I should've woken up.

I saw posts here and on other forums that I got banned at ROH. What happened was after the show I bought some DVDs and hung out to talk to some of the wrestlers. I do this EVERY show. There's never been a problem. For some reason one of the ROH students try throwing me out. I wanted to have a conversation with a wrestler (don't want to bring him heat by saying his name) and I get kicked out. I can't believe it.

Before I go on, I've spent thousands of dollars on ROH tickets and thousands upon thousands of dollars on ROH DVDs & other products sold by ROH. Not to brag, because this is nothing to brag about but I know I'm one of ROH's biggest supporters. I spend alot of money on them.

So I tried going back in and I get kicked out by a rent-a-cop. I couldn't believe it. I tried talking to Cary and I was told to stay away like I was some stalker. Cary knows me.

The next day I try to go to ROH by my home in Edison. I was told by Syd (who I know for a fact stole from Prince Nana) that I wasn't allowed in. Imagine this. A loyal customer who loves the product being told their money is no good here. How do you ban fans?

Anyway, I waited outside the venue since my father was with me. I told my dad to enjoy the show (no i didnt give him my stopwatch). I tried emailing ROH sevral times since Saturday and got blown off every single time.

Let me say right now gently caress ROH! If this is how you treat your fans I don't want to be a fan no more. Soon I will be selling my ROH DVD collection on ebay at a really good price because I don't want the filthy letters in my house.

In the past I was ejected from a JAPW show. It was an accident, but after the case all was forgiven and Fat frank and Japw welcomed me back with open arms. I've spent less time & money on JAPW but even though I hosed up they treated with me respect and I appreciate that. I couldn't get the same from a commpany I've loved and supported from day one.

I'm going too long but as I end this I just wanna say ROH isn't true to their fans. They are all about money and nothing else. Alot has been said about ROH on these boards and now I wouldn't doubt if any of it was true, especially the talk about Gabe and Lauren (Biscuit).

I am a little heated right now but assure this is really from the heart and I will never be at ROH again. I look forward to enjoying JAPW, IWA-MS & Pro Wrestling Xplosion.

I hope other fans dont make the some mistake I have, and suport ROH.

It should be noted that Bubba Ray, Chris Hero, Steve Corino, Homicide, Samoe Joe, and AJ Styles have all threatened to kick his rear end, many of whom were faces at the time. He also was spotted on camera at ECW ONS CRYING at the beginning of the show.

There's also this


Some guy's livejournal posted:

This is a pretty recent one. There is another wrestling federation in Pennsylvania called Chikara, it's smaller than ROH and is sort of a goofy fun thangalang. Anyway, this wrestler named Blind Rage's girlfriend recently died. The chair that she always sat in at ringside was kept empty as a tribute to her. Blind Rage came to the ring and brought a rose which he placed on her chair. (This is sort of a ridiculous tribute but whatever the meaning is pretty clear.) As he did this, GLF and his cronies started a "BLIND RAGE SUCKS" chant.

So does this mean he's done with TNA, or have they relaxed their policy about wrestlers accepting outside bookings (IIRC, they basically make it impossible for wrestlers to do so because they can't appear on any show that's being recorded for DVD or iPPV or whatever, which covers a fair amount of indy feds nowadays)?

I'm guessing the latter, since he doesn't say anything about leaving, and there are no news regarding his departure.

ROH did a tag match with Misawa, Kenta, Marufuji and Morishima as a main event and it was a 30 minute draw. The finish sees Misawa and I think Morishima battling for a big move to lead to the nearfall at the time limit, except GLF and crew start chanting 10 9 8 7... as they set up. The wrestlers are kind of left unable to do the move they planned as these dumbfucks have killed the timing of the match.

I think he started counting down to the end of some huge match involving Misawa or someone equally as huge and basically forced them to end the match early.

We're here to interrogate Manly Dan the lumberjack for the murder of wax Stan.
I was at a Chikara show this past february, one row behind the GLF, and he was just as obnoxious as you'd imagine. It took the concentrated awesomeness of all the little kids in the section we were in (which, he hated, btw, any chant or cheer by the kids and he'd turn around and glare or roll his eyes) to counterbalance his smarmy 'tude. He tried heckling Kevin Steen in the main event and IIRC the best he could come up with was calling Steen fat. He kept getting shut down by Steen. There was one part where Steen leaned off the ropes and yelled "HOw does it feel to be the most hated fan in pro wrestling?" before ignoring him the rest of the match.
