Are we really applauding that Al Snow video?  It's essentially the same Lance Storm style "you can't have an opinion on wrestling because you're not in the business" bullshit that so many old guys throw out there when they have no other compelling argument.

And how can a guy so intelligent say with a stright face that kayfabe was born out of respect for the fans?   The entire root of kayfabe is the belief that the fans are "marks," fools ripe to be conned out of their money.

It is a bit amazing how many fans romanticize and love kayfabe despite that very fact, myself included for quite some time. I'll take the current generation who seem to treat the fans with more respect than that old carnie philosophy.

IIRC Steve Karel was the shadowy money guy who helped Heyman run ECW. He was probably the dude that helped Heyman embezzle the company from Tod Gordon. They brought him up in that unauthorized ECW book that ended with a laundry list of all the money owed to specific wrestlers. 

EDIT: Whoops, I missed Razorblade's post. 

Wait what unauthorized ECW book? I know about the Scott Williams one, was there another I was unaware of?

Well, Rush is champion now. Maybe that’ll bring in interest from the Latin American crowd to these shows. But look at the people running the ROH. The only way this could work is if a Konnan like figure emerges from the back, and backseat books a lot of Rush’s stuff, like he did for the original LAX. Then you remember how TNA dropped the ball on that potential money maker:
