The Biggest Apology in B/R History: Joe Burgett Owns Up to Being Wrong!

Ok, this is hard for me above anyone else. You know, it is hard for me only because I am just not the kind of guy who does anything like this.

I have a big personality, and when I first arrived here, I wanted to bring out a bit of personality in my writing.

It was not so much the real me, more than something I was trying to be more like. Then it developed into something more. I got lost in a way. I felt that I should be this bad guy, that people hated but still wanted to read what he wrote.

I kind of wanted to be the Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, or Edge here on B/R. I felt I had to in a way. Because I wanted to be noticed. And my writing was not that good when I arrived, and still is not the best but has improved.

I felt the only way I could get noticed was to be like that. But that came at an expense, because it seemed no one could be on Joe's side. Like Samoa Joe now, I was like a Nation of my own, of one.

I have always been competitive, and I knew that I wanted the top spot here. It was my goal when I arrived here. I didn't care how I got it done, as long as I was No. 1.

Then I decided to kind of drift away from this bad guy image, and be a good guy. One that people liked and would kind of be a leader. But the fact was that no one could forgive me for what I did before.

I can't blame them, of course, but I just wanted respect for my writing. It was not the best here, but I just wanted respect in a way.

So then when people would say bad things about me, I would kind of not know what to say. So then I would say something like, "Well I must be better than you, because I am No. 1."

That made people very angry with me, of course. And then I stopped doing it, yet people believe I still talk about it. I don't, but people believe I do.

Then I got the name, Numero Uno. Obviously Spanish for Number 1. But it was a name I liked, and not for the fact that I would be known as No. 1. But because I just liked the name, that is the only reason.

Yesterday I wrote an article, The Soap Opera that is the B/R Wrestling Section. It seemed to really push some buttons that I really did not want to push. I did not mean any harm by it, but it seemed that it was taken the wrong way from what I meant by it.

I only meant to poke a little fun, maybe to make people get a smile on there face. I do not insult people, at least not on purpose. I just meant it as one big joke to the Wrestling Section.

Sort of how I got to the top of the rankings in many people's eyes.

I was already on the edge with people before, and I think I pushed it a bit to far here. I was not aware of the racial comments Kumar was receiving by some dude before. I do not visit profiles and I have not read as many articles recently because of being to busy.

I have time to write, but then after that I have had to leave recently. But TMI there.

When I said what I said about Kumar, apparently someone else had been saying it and many other very racial things. I was just joking here, however my comments came at the wrong time.

And I for what it is worth I am sorry, Kumar. I said it on your profile already, but I thought I would bring it here while I am at the other apologies.

Many who I wrote about thought it was wrong about the Kumar comments more than their own, except for DJ Rallo. Who I believe I offended, but said nothing wrong in my eyes. However since I offended him, I am sorry, DJ.

For a while now, I have been wondering what I have done to a guy named TJ Duncan. The dude comes on, bashes me, maybe writes a bit, then leaves. Like I said, I would love to know what I did to him in the past if he would ever tell me.

However, I must have offended him in some way, shape, or form. So as much as this kills me, dude,, I am sorry for what ever I did.

To Jason Le Blanc, there is too much on the list with this issue. I have done many things that he thought was wrong, and many others thought were wrong. So for that Jason, I do apologize, dude.

To M, I never knew what I did to you personally. As I felt you did start most of this with me and you. I mean you said that your sole purpose was to give me a hard time here on B/R when you first arrived here.

Then you saw this place has something more to offer, so you stayed. Then you kind of left the "hate Joe" train. However, I would like to say I am sorry, M, for what ever it was I did to you.

To Ray, I have called you a hothead and very unfit to be a leader here. I kind of meant what I said at the time, but I should have never said it on B/R. I know that now, and I am sorry for saying it.

You have done some bad things to me, you know what I am talking about. It was not as if I was trying to get even, just wanted to give my opinion. It was not the right thing to do, so I am sorry Ray.

AkD, dude what can I say. There is a lot of things I have said to you or in a comment or article. Some of them have been bad things to say. You know we both have an opinion man, and we both will butt heads on what we think about our wrestling opinions.

I will not back down, and I know you won't either. Just I feel I must take a step back in this case only, as I was wrong in some of the things I said. I told you why I said what I said. However it still was wrong. So I am sorry, dude.

Shane Howard, again one man I have kind of crossed paths with and made angry a bit. I don't think I have ever made fun of you terribly. But I do remember calling you an idiot in like your third article, and I should not have said that.

Whatever I have done to you personally, I do apologize, dude.

There are so many things I have done wrong to people here in some way, I don't remember all of the wrong doings. But I am sure you do. So with that said, if I did not talk about you here, I am still sorry for what I did to you personally.

Some of you I talked about here will forgive me, others will not, maybe no one will. But that is okay with me if you do not. I just wanted to say that I was sorry to the Wrestling Section and all of B/R for what I have done in the past.

I will try to be a better person around here, but I cannot promise I will not get caught up in the moment in some debate here. But you have my word at least, things will change.
